Tennessee has rewarded promising young tight ends coach Brian Niedermeyer for his impressive work on the recruiting trail in the 2019 class. The 247Sports National Recruiter of the Year has had his annual salary bumped by $150,000 and now will make $350,000, according to the contract amendment released by Tennessee on Wednesday afternoon. Niedermeyer's 2018 salary was $200,000 and he was the lowest-paid coach on the staff. He also has had his contract with the Vols rolled over another year, and his deal with Tennessee now runs through the end of January 2021, according to the amendment signed and executed late last month.

Exactly.
Think it was VQ talking about all of the eyebrows he'd already raised last season. Thank goodness Pruitt was smart enough to pay the man, hopefully there's more.
The last thing that needs to happen is losing one, if not the, best recruiters in college football simply over money!
Why is UT gonna lose him if he doesn't get a raise right now? Ridiculous. Some people love to throw other people's money around without merit. No wonder UT has been paying a ton of $$$ to coaches who aren't with the program any longer.
He is under contract. Nobody is coming after him right now. Tell ya what, get better than 6th in the conference on signing day and let's have the compensation discussion. This rush to pay the guy more now for what he is already hired to do is grade A stupid. But, there's a lot of that around here.

I’ve seen you make this claim a few times in this thread, I’d just be curious to see how you substantiate it.
My thinking is, why wouldn’t somebody be coming after the number one recruiter? With how volatile the coaching carousel can get in a hurry, I can imagine that several of our coaches are on a short list for some AD or Head Coach somewhere.
Everyone has an opinion.
Personally, I have been in business for over 30 years and never lost an employee over money....nor will I ever! If an employee is fantastic at his or her job, you pay them, period! This coach is one of the best recruiters in the country (fantastic at his job) so money alone is no legitimate reason to lose him to another team.....especially another SEC team. It is hard enough now to get top recruits.....the last thing UT needs is to be recruiting against Niedermeyer.
Just ask Coach Fulmer the difference between an average recruiter versus one of the top recruiters in the country and his answer will tell you everything you need to know......the difference is being fired!
