Total base salaries for the Gophers football program’s 10 assistant coaches will decrease by $275,000 from 2018 to 2019, according to contracts obtained by the Pioneer Press.
The University of Minnesota will pay $3.045 million to its assistants in 2019, down from $3.320 million a year ago. In 2017, when the NCAA allowed nine on-field assistants, the U paid out $3.215 million in base salaries.
Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck will receive a base salary of $3.6 million during his third season in 2019, a figure that has increased $50,000 annually since 2017. In December, he received a second consecutive one-year rollover extension, which is now set through the 2023 season.
For his assistants, the biggest difference for 2019 comes at defensive coordinator where Robb Smith was making $710,000 last season; he was fired in early November after his unit produced multiple poor performances. New defensive coordinator Joe Rossi will be paid $400,000 in 2019, up from $240,000 in his previous role as defensive line coach.
Minnesota has had turnover at three other assistant spots since the end of the 2018 season. Defensive line coach Jim Panagos will make $240,000, and safeties coach Joe Harasymiak and cornerbacks coach Rod Chance both will be paid $215,000.
Harasymiak was paid $153,000 last season as head coach at the University of Maine, an FCS school, according to the Bangor Daily News. Panagos comes from Temple, and Chance was at Oregon; they were not listed in USA Today’s database of assistant coach salaries.
Gophers offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca, who was courted by West Virginia in the offseason, was given raise to $720,000 for 2020 but will make $710,000 in 2019, which is what he received a year ago. Ciarrocca’s base salary ranked 54th in the nation in 2018 among assistant coaches, according to USA Today.
Four assistants — receivers coach Matt Simon, offensive line coach Brian Callahan, special-teams coordinator Rob Wenger and running backs coach Kenni Burns — have remained on Fleck’s staff since the beginning in 2017.
Those four received pay raises for a second straight year. Simon is the U’s highest-paid non-coordinator at $267,500 for 2019. His $260,000 a year ago ranked 444th in the country, per USA Today.
