For clarification on our coaches salaries, this link has a great breakdown. There's a chart that I can't figure out how to post, but I'll cut&paste what I can from the story for simplicity.
It is true that in 2015 Foley went cheap. However, for the 2016 season he really upped the salary pool for assistants (by $1.1 million....more than in 2015):
Note how much more Nord makes than Gray. UN-F'ING-BELIEVABLE!
Also, note that Collins deal is pretty sweet too. Deserving? We'll find out in 2017 when Muschamp's defense is gone.
Dixon is the only coach making less than $300K.
Gators release updated contracts for 2016 coaches: Collins gets massive raise
http://www.onlygators.com/07/25/201...-2016-coaches-collins-summers-get-big-raises/
Most notable is the updated contract for defensive coordinator Geoff Collins, who saw his salary upped to $890,000 from $590,000. He also added use of a dealer car while maintaining his $150,000 retention bonus for 2017 (he received $125,000 for staying in 2016). (Previously, Collins had a $6,000 stipend to pay for a car.)
Also quite generous is Florida shelling out $288,500 more per season to offensive line coach Mike Summers, who was previously making $200,000 per season on a two-year deal while being held over from Will Muschamp’s staff in 2015. Portions of Summers’s salary the last two years were paid as part of a USC buyout, which is why his figure appears to have jumped so much. Summers will now make $488,500 annually. He received a one-year contract extension along with a $38,959 extension signing bonus.
New secondary coach Torrian Gray received a two-year, $650,000 deal along with the use of a car.
Defensive line coach Chris Rumph will make $490,000 in 2016 after earning a $65,000 raise to go along with his $10,000 planned contract increase. He was also extended through the 2017 season.
McElwain received two increases as adjustments to his contract. His annual retention bonus moved from $500,000 to $750,000 (he will receive it each January from 2017-21 as long as he remains with the team), while his Nike equipment contract went up from $203,200 to $253,200.
McElwain’s six-year contract, signed in 2015 and worth approximately $3.5 million annually when all monies are considered, includes a $265,000 base salary in 2016, slightly down from his pro-rated base of $307,000 last year.
After increasing their coaching spending by $1.1 million ($315,000 for assistants) from 2014 to 2015, Florida has upped its expenditures again in 2016. UF is paying out an additional $750,000 to assistants compared to a year ago, ($465,000 not including Summers’s increased salary) and is now paying assistants $1.1 million more than their counterparts two years ago.
McElwain receives a $100,000 expense account, use of two cars, $40,000 in personal travel allowances (private jet), $3,500 in apparel and a group of 12 season tickets to use as he pleases. The remainder of his annual salary comes from a $2.2 million annual activities agreement with the program.
Bonuses for McElwain include $37,500 for an SEC Championship appearance, $75,000 for an SEC Championship victory, $37,500 for a bowl game appearance, $100,000 for an Access Bowl game appearance, $150,000 for a College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance, $200,000 for a CFP National Championship appearance and $250,000 for a CFP title game victory. Should McElwain be named AP National Coach of the Year ($50,000) or SEC Coach of the Year ($25,000) he would also add some money to his bank. Finally, he will receive a $50,000 bonus if Florida finishes in the top 10 of either the AP or USA Today postseason polls.
Should McElwain be fired by the Gators before his contract comes to term, Florida would owe him $2.25 million per season, plus a prorated amount if he leaves in the middle of a campaign. He also has a buyout attached to his contract should another team try to pluck him from the Gators.
If McElwain chooses to leave before Jan. 31, 2017, he would owe the Gators $3.2 million ($2 million of which would go to Colorado State), before Jan. 31, 2018 – $3 million ($1.5 million to CSU), before Jan. 31, 2019 – $2.5 million ($1 million to CSU), before Jan. 31, 2020 – $2 million ($500,000 to CSU), on or after Feb. 1 2020 – $1.5 million.
* Collins, who originally signed a three-year, $1.77 million deal ($590,000 annually), received a $300,000 raise to go along with a planned $125,000 retention bonus. He has a $150,000 retention bonus remaining for 2017.
^ Nussmeier is in the second year of a three-year, $1.545 million deal with a planned $15,000 increase for year two. He goes up to $540,000 in year three and can receive a $300,000 retention bonus ahead of the 2017 season.
+ Rumph received a $65,000 raise (in addition to his planned $10,000 increase) and additional year on what was formerly a two-year, $820,000 contract.
& Summers had his 2014 and 2015 salaries partially paid by USC due to a buyout that included mitigation from his former job (the amount above is what UF paid in 2015). Florida is paying $288,500 more out of pocket for him beginning in 2016.
~ Shannon signed a three-year, $1.195 million deal last season and received a $10,000 bump to bring his salary even with his 2015 total of $400,000. He will earn $415,000 in year three and is due a retention bonus of $125,000 in 2017 after receiving $100,000 for staying on this past offseason.
