Wow....What ESPN/Mortensen Just Said!!!!!

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

Mortensen just said that he thinks Monte is on the way...and furthermore, he has word that Tennessee is willing to make Monte the highest paid assistant coach in America to the tune of ONE MILLION per year!!!! WOW!

 

[GIVEHIM-6]

I have ESP,cause I knew a thread would pop-up after hearing that on ESPN.

 

[DeMen7ed]

Bring it on, I cant wait to find out for sure.

 

[tennessee391]

woot woot

 

[Cartervol]

Monte's a done deal IMO. Tampa still has a lot of football to play though.

 

[TravisHenryCBlockedMe]

Monte will be worth every penny.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I heard that too.

It'll be worth every penny.

 

[tidwell]

so... who is currently the highest paid assistant in cfb?

 

[The Ambassador]

It's The Wild Kiffin Show next season.

 

[BigSteve09]

here we goooooo

 

[vols kick balls]

so... who is currently the highest paid assistant in cfb?

I think it's Muschamp at 900k.

 

[tidwell]

I think it's Muschamp at 900k.

was that even before his CIW promotion?

 

[TENNFOLD1974]

Something tells me it wont be long till we're back on top again.

 

[dickens821]

was that even before his CIW promotion?

no

 

[vols kick balls]

was that even before his CIW promotion?

I don't think so.

 

[Rizzo924]

I dont find this that surprising ... once it appeared that MK was coming with LK, I figured that would be the price tag. I think MH had a price in mind somewhat comparable to what Saban & Miles et al make - diff. is how UT is structuring it (i.e, breakdown betw HC & assistants).

 

[volinathens]

I argued with my brother earlier this evening about how much Kiffin the Elder would get paid. I thought no more than 600-700, but he said more like a million. Either way he's worth it. It really goes to show that Kiffin the Younger knew exactly what he was doing when he agreed to 2m a year. Definitely could have gotten 500k more, but he knew that he was only as good as his assistants. I'm still having a hard time figuring out where the money for all of the assistants is going to come from, esp if Orgeron is going to end up in a reduced capacity, but still make somewhere around 350-400k. If anyone knows what the total amt that Fulmer was given to allocate to assistants, I'd like to know.

I knew this 5 days ago, but I didn't want anyone yelling "source" at me. The source came from Chris Mortensons cell phone directly to my buddies cell phone. Him and Mort are really tight. They befriended each other at Peyton Manning camp a few years ago when he was being recruited.

You would be correct. That will be his salary starting in Jan.

yeah, source? Give us the digits!

 

[Jaytrain5]

Another guy here at VN broke this news more than 2 weeks ago. In fact, he said Monte might even get north of $1 million/year.

 

[volsfan125]

Highest paid assistant right now is Norm Chow @ UCLA,his salary is 1 million/yr. That was reported at the beginning of the year when we played them
