2018 Assistant Coaching Salaries/Benefits

UND 918K
SDSU 770K
USD 790K
NDSU 1.263M

I have to say I'm a bit surprised by this.

The discussion was about assistant salaries though.

....which makes me wonder how his assistant pool to be 128K less than UND's?  That doesn't seem possible

"lets get dominant, top shelf defensive lineman and switch to a 4-3".  That was your point, correct?  

They don’t even need to be “dominant”. Just disruptive enough. At our level if you have a solid 3 and a really good 1 you can have a lot of success.

I agree with you and others who have said that a defense can be successful regardless of the scheme, but I lean your way on recruiting for each scheme being different.

It seems like the 3-4 requires a few players on the defense to be a very specific type of player to be successful.

Nose tackle has to be an absolute dude and your outside backers have to be a very specific hybrid of pass rushing/coverage players to be great. (Terrell Suggs, Jerry Hughes types) A player with linebacker hips and d end pass rushing skills is hard to find at the FCS level. 
 

The 4-3 scheme seems a bit more flexible with different types of athletes.

Bubba made sure that the assistant pool was boosted much more than his own salary. Very selfless move by him. 

Again.... Bubba is a class act!

All in all, I would almost put money on the fact that the DC hire will either be Dosch or one of the two guys from within get promoted. I really don't see anyone else that has interest in the job getting the job over them.

Schmidt was at about $100k.

On the other hand, if I were out of a job, but had an opportunity to make close (~92% anyways) to what I made before, it seems like I might take that opportunity.

Why is Schmidt leaving a coordinator job at the fcs level for a position coach position at a G5 school? Just seems strange. I could see if he was leaving for a G5 coordinator job but a position coach seems like a step down.

I believe it was reported that he'll also be the ST coordinator. The previous ST coordinator (who also coached RB's) was making over $200K/year.

Also building a resume and a relationship with a coach on the way up. If you want to be a coach at the highest level this is a great opportunity. If these guys turn Fresno into a Conference Champion with 10-12 win seasons and a bowl win they move up. Much more money.

I am blown away that he takes a technically lower position and gets a raise from around 100K to around 200K, mind blowing...

FBS is a whole 'nother animal.

This is why UND, NDSU, the Montana’s and the rest don’t go FBS. 

Plus, Special Teams Co-ordinator is not necessarily a step down.
