  6. Salary information revealed for Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman By Zach Barnett May 15, 2025 • 5 hours ago Notre Dame paid just over $7.4 million in total compensation to head coach Marcus Freeman in the calendar year 2023, according to tax documents obtained by USA Today's Steve Berkowitz on Thursday. The 2023 season was Freeman's third at Notre Dame, and his second as the Fighting Irish's head coach. The season opened with a 42-3 drubbing of Navy in Ireland, with a memorable last-second home loss to Ohio State and road defeats to Louisville and Clemson. Notre Dame defeated its future starting quarterback Riley Leonard and an undefeated, 17th-ranked Duke team, along with a 48-20 blowout of then-No. 10 USC and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. The Irish's 10-3 season ended with a 40-8 blowout of No. 19 Oregon State in the Sun Bowl. Notre Dame finished the year ranked 14th in both polls. For that year, Freeman received $6.2 million in salary, $461,000 in bonuses and $704,000 in other reportable income. His $6.2 million salary was $400,000 from what he earned in 2022. Freeman's salary is set to go up further still. In December, he signed a 4-year extension keeping him under contract through 2030. Freeman signed that deal days before Notre Dame went on a run to the national championship game, including a first-round win over Indiana, a Sugar Bowl win over No. 2 seed and SEC champion Georgia, and an Orange Bowl victory over No. 6 seed Penn State. "I am grateful for the support of the Board of Trustees, led by John Veihmeyer, President Fr. Bob Dowd, C.S.C., and Director of Athletics Pete Bevacqua," Freeman said at the time. "The investment they continue to pour into our program is invaluable to our student-athletes and staff. This commitment goes well beyond myself, as they are dedicated to ensuring all aspects of our program are competitive within the upper echelon of college football." Due to Notre Dame's status as a private institution, we likely won't learn the full details of Freeman's extension until May 2027. And if Notre Dame keeps improving in its next two seasons as it has over its last two, Freeman could very well have a new new contract by then.
  7. The highest-paid tight ends coaches in college football: 2025 edition By Zach Barnett May 15, 2025 The goal of this project is to catalogue and isolate the specific value of position coaching in major college football. How much is that position worth? How much is the head coach paying for position coaching, and how much is for additional duties like co-coordinator, run game coordinator, and the like? At the tight end we have two examples, and both are by accident. Nebraska and Oklahoma demoted Marcus Satterfield and Joe Jon Finley from their coordinator and co-coordinator positions (NU hired Dana Holgorsen to run its offense; OU hired Ben Arbuckle), but Satterfield and Finley remain on staff and, so far as we know, their salaries remain the same. The other tight ends coaches at or above $900,000 either serve as their staff's offensive coordinator or they wear more hats than a baseball team on a 3-city road trip. Vince Marrow is Kentucky's associate head coach, recruiting coordinator and NFL liaison. At Texas, Jeff Banks is the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator. At a position that often puts one player on the field, our salary range here is more than $1 million. $1.4 million: Marcus Satterfield, Nebraska $1.3 million: Vince Marrow, Kentucky+ $1.2 million: Jeff Banks, Texas+ $1.15 million: Freddie Kitchens, North Carolina* $1.1 million: Josh Henson, Purdue* $900,000: Joe Jon Finley, Oklahoma; Todd Hartley, Georgia+ $775,000: Des Kitchings, Virginia* $750,000: Shawn Elliott, South Carolina+; Drew Mehringer, Oregon+ $675,000: Russ Callaway, Florida* $650,000: Keenan Bailey, Ohio State $638,000: Kyle Richardson, Clemson+ $625,000: Chris Thomsen, Florida State+ $600,000: Bryan Ellis, Alabama; Jordan Paopao, Washington $575,000: Grant Cain, Indiana+ $550,000: Matt Lubick, Kansas+; Taylor Mouser, Iowa State* $525,000: Freddie Whittingham, Utah+ $500,000: Ben Aigamaua, Auburn; Jon Cooper, Mississippi State+; Joe Cox, Ole Miss+; Brian Wozniak, Michigan State+ $400,000: Brett Bartolone, Colorado+; Steve Casula, Michigan; Abdul Hodge, Iowa $370,000: Robby Discher, Illinois+ $357,000: Nate Letton, Wisconsin $325,000: Josh Stepp, Cincinnati; Morgan Turner, Arkansas $275,000: Josh Cochran, Texas Tech; Eric Koehler, Minnesota; Gavin Locklear, NC State $265,000: Ryan Wallace, Louisville+ $250,000: Alec Abeln, Tennessee; Alex Atkins, LSU+ $225,000: Michael Nysewander, West Virginia * - Offensive coordinator + - Assistant head coach/co-offensive coordinator/special teams recruiter/recruiting coordinator MISSING: Nathan Brock, Georgia Tech; Derham Cato, Missouri; Brent Davis, Virginia Tech; Hal Hunter, Maryland; Josh Miller, Arizona; DJ Tialavea, Oklahoma State; Luke Wells, Kansas State
  8. Guess this is best thread for this... A program-record 12 Texas Longhorns were taken in the 2025 NFL draft, breaking a previous program record of 11. Of those, one late-round pick is trying to prove he could be a major steal. Offensive tackle Cameron Williams was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 31st pick in the sixth round of the draft. Williams, who was once considered to be capable of being as high as a first-round pick, saw his draft stock slip later in the season, leading to his late selection by the defending Super Bowl champions. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 317 pounds with hands that measure over 11 inches, Williams is a physical specimen. In 2024, he was named the full-time starter at right tackle with the Longhorns for the first time in his career allowing five sacks, three hits, and 18 hurries in 15 games according to Pro Football Focus. Despite his impressive physicality, scouts had questions about his technique going into the draft. "Williams’ blend of desirable physical traits but subpar bend and foot quickness make him a tougher pro projection," Williams' NFL combine profile said. "The technique will likely need a full year of work to help mitigate the aforementioned deficiencies and allow his traits to speak more loudly." While a prime example of the physicality necessary to make it in the NFL, Williams was seen as a question mark for NFL teams. This lead to his drop to the sixth round, despite combine projections placing him as a pick in the fourth round. On a scale of eight, Williams was awarded a draft grade of 6.14, labeling him as a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter. With a coaching staff that has a history of developing impressive offensive lines in Philadelphia, Williams may have found the near-perfect place to reach his potential. “Rare size-length component at play, so you have to give him the benefit of the doubt with more experience," an NFC area scout said. Williams recently participated in Philadelphia's rookie minicamp where he was seen taking reps at right tackle. Currently at the top of the depth chart at right tackle for the Eagles is NFL veteran, and two-time All-Pro, Lane Johnson. Johnson is the longest-tenured player under contract on the Eagles and recently signed a one-year extension through 2027. Williams now has the opportunity to learn from one of the best in the NFL. The Eagles will open up the 2025 season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    The Texas Longhorns brought in a new signal-caller following the end of spring ball with the transfer portal addition of Troy quarterback Matthew Caldwell. Caldwell joins an inexperienced quarterback room that's led of course by Arch Manning along with sophomore Trey Owens and true freshman KJ Lacey. In his only season with Troy, Caldwell completed 141 of 223 passes for 1,608 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Here's three things he could bring to the table next season: Experience Texas will mark the fourth stop the Auburn, AL. native has made in his college career after one year at Jacksonville State and two at Gardner-Webb. Caldwell doesn't have the in-game experience that most senior quarterbacks usually do but he's been at multiple programs and has learned the routine that's necessary to be a Division I signal-caller. With Manning as the starter, Caldwell can then help Owens and Lacey learn the ropes from the sidelines while also being ready to jump in at a moments notice. Caldwell started the final five games of the season for Troy and six total, including on the road against Iowa in September. He finished that game 14 of 21 passing for 156 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the 38-21 loss. Flashes of dual-threat potential Caldwell didn't play consistenty enough prior to arriving to Troy but once with the Trojans, he showed some solid running ability that led to some red zone scores. Caldwell's five rushing touchdowns this past season were the most by a Troy quarterback since the 2017 campaign. It's unlikly Caldwell will break off a 67-yard touchdown run like Manning did last season but he can find his way into the end zone on the goal line if necessary. Four of his five rushing touchdowns in 2024 came from within two yards or less. Deep-ball ability In his first start of the season on the road against Iowa, Caldwell connected with receiver Devonte Ross for a 63-yard touchdown through the air in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Though he had a few interceptions on long passes down the field, Caldwell showed some potential as a deep-ball thrower. Even though he wouldn't necessarily have the green light to let it rip on a first read, the Texas coaching staff can feel comfortable knowing he can get the ball deep if needed.
  11. The highest-paid linebackers coaches in college football: 2025 edition BY ZACH BARNETT May 13, 2025 In today's age of unlimited on-field coaches, the defensive side of the ball has grown faster than offense. It's extremely rare to have a single secondary coach in 2025. It's also rare to employ a single coach across the defensive front, and inside/outside linebackers coaches are also common. I can't think of a single Power 4 staff with one D-line coach, one linebackers coach, and one secondary coach. And so while plenty of staffs have two coaches across a position group, the rate of "walk-around" defensive coordinators has also grown. Given that linebackers are still the center of the action, we've included the majority of the "walk-around" DCs here, unless a given coach spent the majority of his career in the back end prior to shedding his positional responsibilities. $3.1 million: Jim Knowles, Penn State* $2.5 million: Blake Baker, LSU*; DJ Durkin, Auburn*; Wink Martindale, Michigan*; Matt Patricia, Ohio State* $2.25 million: Pete Golding, Ole Miss* $2 million: Bryant Haines, Indiana*; Tosh Lupoi, Oregon*; Glenn Schumann, Georgia*; Clayton White, South Carolina* $1.9 million: Tom Allen, Clemson*; Pete Kwiatkowski, Texas* $1.85 million: Brad White, Kentucky* $1.6 million: Joe Rossi, Michigan State* $1.55 million: Kane Wommack, Alabama* $1.5 million: Zac Alley, West Virginia* $1.3 million: Steve Belichick, North Carolina*; Todd Grantham, Oklahoma State* $1.25 million: Travis Williams, Arkansas* $1.2 million: Jon Heacock, Iowa State*; Sheil Wood, Texas Tech* $1.1 million: Jay Bateman, Texas A&M*; Johnny Nansen, Texas+ $1 million: John Butler, Nebraska*; Coleman Hutzler, Mississippi State*; Mike Scherer, Purdue*; Seth Wallace, Iowa+ $950,000: Ron Roberts, Florida* $925,000: Brian Jean-Mary, Michigan+ $900,000: DJ Eliot, NC State* $875,000: Sam Siefkes, Virginia Tech* $800,000: John Papuchis, Florida State+; Mike Tressel, Wisconsin* $775,000: Sterling Lucas, South Carolina $750,000: Austin Armstrong, Houston* $720,000: William Inge, Tennessee $700,000: Mike Stoops, Kentucky; Chidera Uzo-Diribe, Georgia $600,000: Chuck Morrell, Alabama $525,000: Roc Bellantoni, Auburn; Derek Nicholson, Missouri $485,000: Chris Simpson, Kansas+ $475,000: Brian Michalowski, Oregon; Vic So'oto, Cal+ $450,000: Nate Dreiling, Oklahoma; Rob Dvoracek, Nebraska; Colton Swan, Utah MISSING: Robert Bala, Florida; Danny Gonzales, Arizona; Blake Gideon, Georgia Tech; DK McDonald, Kansas; Ted Monachino, Maryland; Zach Sparber, Rutgers; Brian Ward, Arizona State * - Defensive coordinator + - Co-coordinator/special teams coordiantor/assistant or associate head coach

  17. The highest-paid special teams coordinators in college football: 2025 edition By Zach Barnett May 12, 2025 • 4 hours ago In our tour of college football assistant coaching salaries, the stop at Special Teams Depot is always my favorite. The variety of how head coaches deploy their special teams duties is fascinating. Most head coaches name a designated special teams coordinator who also coaches an offensive or defensive position -- most commonly a low-volume position in terms of players on the field at one time, like running backs or tight ends -- who will then delegate certain special teams units to another assistant coach. Some head coaches won't even name a special teams coordinator, divvying up that duty amongst his staff. Some head coaches do that, but will funnel most of their efforts through an off-the-field analyst, though that blurry line has all but disappeared in today's age of unlimited on-field coaches. And then other head coaches hire a special teams coordinator who has no positional other positional responsibility and makes a lot of money doing it. Regardless of how head coaches split up their duties, the work still has to get done: six separate units whose relatively low snap count often has an outsized impact on winning and losing football games. Special teams often touch the entire roster except the starting quarterback, and an injury to a starting cornerback, offensive lineman or tight end could affect multiple units without warning. $1.2 million: Jeff Banks+, Texas $950,000: Mickey Conn, Clemson*; Mike Reed, Clemson* $850,000: Joe DeCamillis+, South Carolina $800,000: John Papuchis+, Florida State $775,000: LeVar Woods, Iowa^ $700,000: Joe Lorig, Oregon; Sharrieff Shah, Utah $625,000: Mike Ekeler, Nebraska^ $575,000: Jay Boulware+, Kentucky; Grant Cain, Indiana $560,000: Todd Goebbel, NC State $550,000: Stu Holt, Virginia Tech; Kenny Perry, Texas Tech+ $530,000: Erik Link, Missouri $450,000: Charlie Ragle, Arizona State+^ $400,000: Kirk Benedict, Georgia; Patrick Dougherty, Texas A&M; Cliff Odom, Mississippi State; Mike Priefer, North Carolina $375,000: Jay Nunez, Alabama; Jake Schoonover, Ole Miss $360,000: Keith Gaither, Virginia $350,000: JB Brown, Michigan; Robby Discher, Illinois; Matt Mitchell, Wisconsin; Taiwo Onatulo, Kansas $345,000: Bob Ligashesky, Minnesota^ $275,000: Karl Maslowski, Louisville $225,000: Evan Crabtree, Tennessee; Doug Deakin, Oklahoma^; Andre Powell, Maryland MISSING: Kyle Cefalo, Cal; Joe Houston, Florida; Chad Lunsford, Auburn; Craig Naivar, Arizona; Chris Petrilli, Washington; Sean Snyder, Oklahoma State + - Assistant/associate head coach * - Co-coordinator ^ - Standalone special teams coordinator No dedicated special teams coordinator: Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, LSU
