  3. Florida sets staff salaries for 2025 season By Zach Barnett May 21, 2025 Florida will pay Billy Napier and his coaching staff nearly $1 million more than it did in 2024, according to documents recently obtained by Gators Online. There was significant movement on the staff, starting with a change at both coordinator spots from the opening day of the 2024 season. Defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong and his $1.2 million salary are gone from the staff, and co-offensive coordinator Rob Sale has been re-appointed as simply the club's offensive line coach. Ron Roberts, Florida's "executive head coach" and co-defensive coordinator, is now the Gators' sole defensive coordinator and the highest-paid assistant at $950,000. Below him are two co-coordinators, both new hires: safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri and linebackers coach Robert Bala. Sunseri is apparently more co- than Bala; the former makes $100,000 more than the latter. Deron Wilson returned to the staff after two seasons at Arkansas; he'll make $100,000 less coaching the secondary than Will Harris (now coaching safeties at Miami) did in 2024. While Sale took a $150,000 pay cut with his demotion, he's still the highest-paid offensive assistant at $850,000. Russ Callaway, now Florida's sole OC (Napier remains the play-caller) is tied with co-defensive coordinator Sunseri for the fourth-highest paid assistant on staff at $675,000. While Sale takes a haircut from 2024 to 2025, assistant offensive line coach Jon Decoster is the only other returning assistant to not receive a raise from last season to this one. Napier has also brought two coaches onto the "on-field" coaching staff after the NCAA relaxed the rules around countable coaches. Joe Houston (special teams) and Ryan O'Hara were promoted after spending 2024 as analysts. Their salaries in those position was not public information, which accounts for $750,000 of the $850,000 growth from 2024 to '25. (2024 data from the USA Today coaching salary database. All numbers rounded to the nearest $5,000.)

  13. Hilarious... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oklahoma’s QB situation earns top ranking from ESPN Mateer has the Sooners at the top. ByChip Rouse|May 19, 2025 As pointed out in a recent article, we are at the inevitable point of the college football offseason when all sundry of lists and rankings begins to pick up steam in the news cycle in anticipation of the 2025 season. An article by ESPN's David Hale cited five teams and 11 players, including Oklahoma newcomer John Mateer, as being at the "top of the class" for the 2025 season. In particular, the analysis examined the depth and strength of the quarterback position and ranked how set the teams are at the most important position on the field, differentiating them by tiers. According to the ESPN analysis, the quarterback situations at Oklahoma, Clemson, LSU, Penn State and South Carolina are the strongest of all FBS teams as we go under the 100-day mark for the start of the 2025 season. ESPN ranks Oklahoma QB situation as 'top of class' entering 2025 season Hale's article noted that the biggest names at the quarterback position -- Drew Allar at Penn State, Cade Klubnik at Clemson and LSU's Grant Nussmeier -- have earned their place at the top of the sport as a result of past performances. LaNorris Sellars of South Carolina and OU's Mateer, on the other hand, had a few "Heisman moments" last season. ESPN also ranked Mateer as the No. 1 transfer in the country just last week. "Mateer flourished in the relative obscurity of Washington State," Hale wrote, "and now will be tasked with reviving Oklahoma's program under the glare of the SEC spotlight. Both players scratched the surface of greatness last season and enter 2025 with massive expectations." According to Hale, in the College Football Playoff era 14 players have posted a single-season stat line of at least 4,000 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, 9 yards per pass and no more than 10 turnovers. Mateer missed that mark by 36 yards last season. Mateer's 2024 accomplishments included 53 broken or evaded tackles, the most last season among FBS quarterbacks. Also no quarterback who averaged at least 9 yards per pass attempt last season had a lower rate of off-target throws than the Washington State transfer's 9.4%. Behind Mateer at OU is Michael Hawkins Jr., who started four games last season as a freshman, and recent Mercer transfer Whitt Newbauer. ESPN also ranked the quarterback situation at Florida, Miami and Texas as Tier 1b ("So hot right now") right below Oklahoma and the others. Tier 2 ("Pretty darned good") included Arizona State, Baylor, Georgia Tech and Iowa State.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    Missed this coaching staff promotion... Who is Mike Bimonte, an up-and-coming coach Steve Sarkisian didn't want to lose by:Joe Cook•03/12/25 Mike Bimonte (Will Gallagher/Inside Texas) The Texas Longhorns announced a number of staff promotions and new titles in recent weeks, with names like Duane Akina, Mark Orphey, and Chad Scott garnering most of the attention. But one of the promotions kept an up-and-coming staff member in Austin despite overtures from other schools. Mike Bimonte, a former Rutgers walk-on quarterback who was part of Kyle Flood‘s Scarlet Knights program from 2011-2014, was recently promoted from senior football analyst to co-passing game coordinator and assistant quarterbacks coach. And according to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, other teams wanted Bimonte to be in their building. “We’ve got some analysts that have stayed on board and didn’t want to lose,” Sarkisian said. “I didn’t want to lose Mike Bimonte, who had some real opportunities.” Bimonte has been with the program since February of 2021, according to his LinkedIn page. Bimonte was with Flood at Rutgers and saw playing time as the Scarlet Knights’ field goal holder during the 2014 season. After the Manalapan, N.J. product completed his playing career and earned his B.S. in Exercise Science and Sports Studies, he earned a Master’s degree in Corporate and Public Communication from Monmouth University. His football experience helped him earn a role at Delaware, where he was quarterbacks coach during the 2016 season. From there, he joined Forescout Technologies, a company that operates in the cybersecurity world, and remained with them until joining the Longhorns in 2021 after Sarkisian and Flood ventured from Tuscaloosa to Austin. His role has evolved, as he has worked with other positions, but quarterbacks are his current focus. During practice, Bimonte spends nearly every moment with the Longhorn signal-callers. When Sarkisian tends to other parts of his football team, Bimonte and AJ Milwee are there developing the position Sark believes is the most important in sports. He’s not just working with players like Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, but also players lower on the depth chart like Trey Owens and KJ Lacey. Former Texas quarterback Charles Wright worked with Bimonte during his time at Texas from 2021 to 2023 and knows first-hand the value the former Rutgers quarterback brings to the room. “I can’t say enough good things about Coach Bimonte,” Wright told Inside Texas. “When I was at Texas, he was working with the tight ends but his role spread beyond just the tight end room. He’s a persistent motivator, understands Coach Sark’s offensive and team philosophy, and does a great job inputting his perspective in game-planning and defensive breakdowns. “Whenever you can have a former quarterback provide his unique perspective and tools to an offense and quarterback room as a coach, it’s extremely impactful. That’s why Coach Sark, Coach Milwee, and Coach Bimonte have had such great success with the quarterback room, on offense, and ultimately as a team. He’s going to continue to thrive at Texas.” Bimonte typically is in the coaches box on gamedays, providing an eye in the sky for Sarkisian and Milwee on the ground. He’s also part of the quarterback recruiting process, helping that duo maintain contact with talented signal-callers around the country even if he can’t go out on the road and recruit due to NCAA restrictions. The coaching journey may be just starting for Bimonte, but it’s a journey Texas wanted to ensure took an extended stay in Austin before it ventured elsewhere. As a result, he can put a new title on his business card that says assistant quarterbacks coach and co-passing game coordinator for the Texas Longhorns.

  16. The highest-paid quarterbacks coaches in college football: 2025 edition By Zach Barnett May 19, 2025 At long last, our tour of college football assistant coaching salaries is complete. And as always, it ends with a question: who really is the highest-paid quarterbacks coach in the country? Is it Lincoln Riley, whose 2023 salary hit $11.5 million? Sure, USC employs Luke Huard as its offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, but Riley will coach quarterbacks as long as he's coaching. Same for Steve Sarkisian, who will make $10.8 million at Texas in 2025 while also employing AJ Milwee as co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach and co-passing game coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach Michael Bimonte? Is it Kirk Ciarrocca? Thanks to movement at Utah and Ohio State and a new deal signed back in January, Rutgers's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach is now the highest-paid offensive assistant in the game. Is it Nick Sheridan? After a year as Alabama's offensive coordinator, Sheridan shifted to the Tide's co-OC following the hiring of Ryan Grubb, but kept his title as quarterbacks coach and his salary. (He'll make more than Grubb in 2025.) Or is it Kent Austin and Matt Lombardi? At $600,000, those are the coaches with the highest salaries to be "just" the quarterbacks coach at Auburn and North Carolina, respectively. Austin will coach Auburn's QBs with help from the head man, while Lombardi will likely have more autonomy working under a defensive-minded, "walk-around" head coach in Bill Belichick. It's quite a jump in responsibility and salary for Lombardi, who was previously an analyst at Oregon and an assistant position coach in the NFL. As always, the answer to all of the above is, "Yes." $1.9 million: Kirk Ciarrocca, Rutgers* $1.75 million: Garrett Riley, Clemson*; Will Stein, Oregon* $1.7 million: Collin Klein, Texas A&M*; Andy Kotelnicki, Penn State@ $1.6 million: Bobby Petrino, Arkansas* $1.5 million: Ben Arbuckle, Oklahoma*; Mike Bobo, Georgia*; Gus Malzahn, Florida State@ $1.45 million: Nick Sheridan, Alabama+ $1.4 million: Chip Lindsey, Michigan* $1.35 million: Bush Hamdan, Kentucky* $1.3 million: Tim Lester, Iowa*; Kirby Moore, Missouri@ $1.25 million: Jason Beck, Utah* $1.2 million: Dana Holgorsen, Nebraska@; Brian Lindgren, Michigan State* $1.1 million: Jimmie Dougherty, Washington*; Philip Montgomery, Virginia Tech*; Mike Shula, South Carolina* $1.025 million: Barry Lunney, Jr., Illinois* $1 million: Ryan Grubb, Alabama@; Pep Hamilton, Maryland*; Mack Leftwich, Texas Tech*; Joe Sloan, LSU* $900,000: Kurt Roper, NC State* $850,000: Joey Halzle, Tennessee*; Pat Shurmur, Colorado*; Jim Zebrowski, Kansas* $800,000: Glenn Thomas, Nebraska+ $750,000: Brian Brohm, Louisville*; Chris Weinke, Georgia Tech+; Chandler Whitmer, Indiana+ $730,000: Greg Harbaugh, Jr., Minnesota* $725,000: Ryan Gunderson, Oregon State* $700,000: AJ Milwee, Texas+ $600,000: Kent Austin, Auburn; Matt Lombardi, North Carolina $500,000: Darin Hinshaw, Purdue; Tony Tokarz, Florida State $475,000: Billy Fessler, Ohio State $450,000: Shawn Bell, Houston* $425,000: Kenny Guiton, Wisconsin $340,000: Pete Thomas, Cincinnati $275,000: Matt Holecek, Mississippi State; Ryan O'Hara, Florida $260,000: Taylor Lamb, Virginia $250,000: Michael Bimonte, Texas+ * - Offensive coordinator + - Co-coordinator/passing game coordinator @ - "Walk-around" coordinator MISSING: Marcus Arroyo, Arizona State; Seth Doege, Arizona; Danny Freund, Washington State; Sean Gleeson, Missouri; Bryan Harsin, Cal; Kevin Johns, Oklahoma State; Joe Judge, Ole Miss; Rhett Rodriguez, West Virginia; Matt Wells, Kansas State
