Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi has agreed to a one-year contract extension through the 2022 season with a raise, pending approval at next week's Board of Regents meetings.

According to regents documents released Friday, Rossi's new contract will pay him $650,000 this season (up from $625,000 under the terms of his previous deal) and $650,000 again in 2022.

His salary is fully guaranteed, and he would owe the university $125,000 if he leaves before the end of the deal.


Go Gophers!!
 



Personally, I'd like to see him tied down for longer than 2022. Continuity has not been a staple
of our coaches under PJ.

Hopefully we see something great this season and maybe more happens.

2 OC's and 2 DC's in 5 years is really pretty good if you ask me
 

The increase was so paltry that I question why anyone would even admit to it.

Most of this stuff, unless required under state law, should never be put out to the public.
They don't necessarily have to put out a press release, but as a public school it is something they are required to provide if asked. You can even look up public school teacher salaries.

I guess I missed two extra losses last year...

Must have been written by a Badgers fan. Even if the missed games count as losses (which they shouldn't) they're still 1 short.

This is a Big Ten-focused website and they can't figure out that the only way a Big Ten team could have played 10 games last year is if they made a bowl game?

Badger math. That's how their running backs get so many yards. Not actually gaining the yards, its that they can't count.

"Ahhhhh, let's give him 3,000 yards this year!"
"I don't think he gained that much, coach."
"Shut up!! I do the counting around here!!!"
