any word on raises for the assistants

[ChiTownBull]

and hopefully being able to recruit a better OC at a higher salary?

All full time asst's have raises.

Leavitt said a "critical" part of his new deal was a 23 percent raise to the pool of money for his full-time assistants. Leavitt's staff made a combined $690,000 this season, but that figure goes up to $850,000 in 2006 and increases by $100,000 each season. By 2012, he'll have twice as much money to pay his assistants as he did this year.  

 

"You can't do anything without a great staff," Leavitt said. "This staff has worked extremely hard. We went into this year, most people thought we might win a couple. We've shown a little more than that. We're disappointed about (last week's 15-10 loss to Connecticut), but isn't that a great thing that people are disappointed we didn't win a Big East championship?"

good but not great....sounds like we are a few yrs away from luring a top oc

Assistant coaches pool:

$850,000 (2006); $950,000 (2007); $1,050,000 (2008 ); $1,150,000 (2009); $1,250,000 (2010); $1,350,000 (2011); $1,450,000 (2012).

Each season USF reaches a bowl game, $75,000 will be added to the assistant coaches pool.

this is better than the comedy channel

our assistants should be shown the door not given raises

[fbdo79]

What I would like to see, would be small raises for the defensive staff and a select few of the offensive coaches and then use the rest of the $100,000 plus this years $75,000 bowl bonus, to try and lure an OC.

Which could be happening ... it's the coach's "pool" ... BULLieve that the money is not divided equally.

I still stick what I said b4 ...

Smith is gone. Franks takes over OC, Barnhardt becomes QB Coach, GA as RB coach ... etc.
