This makes me sick to read. I've kept the "coaching hires" thread running this entire off-season in the hopes of seeing if/when we added staff. Instead, I've just watch as other programs continue to add to their support staffs.
When Drew Hughes agreed to stay on at UF, the word was that he was going to be given more support (i.e. hiring of more assistants/underlings). I haven't seen it. Anyhow, take a look at this story and you'll understand why we're seemingly always a brides made the last few years w/ top recruits.
This is a long article, so here's a cliff's notes:
--2 guys in recruiting department in 2012 to just now adding a 10th this past weekend.
--Break down every snap of film (good, bad, ugly) from Friday nights.
--Hired a football graphics team, copying Clemson in doing so.
--$175k is now the salary of GM/Director of Player Personnel Mark Pantoni (worked at UF under Urban). That significantly higher than what he made his final year at UF back in 2011. That position has seen salaries really jump in recent years it seems. The rest of the staff (9 others) combine to make close to $700K.
