Hazell reportedly to be signed by Vikings to coach WRs. Not a bad landing spot for him. Good luck.
Hazell to the Vikings
- Thread starter BoilerBulldog
- Start date
Yes very cool for him. It will be a good chance to return to his roots as a WR coach and get a restart on his coaching career. I think he is a great guy, it just didn't work. That just happens in the coaching world. Best of luck to him.
You're talking the North White HS Vikings, right???
Truthfully if we'd known they'd take him we should have paid them to do so years ago.
Average salary for a WR coach at the NFL level is probably in the area of 200k right now. Not a huge amount BUT it does provide a dent to the buyout!
As a lifetime PACKERS fan, I am very pleased with this hiring. I believe Bears and Lions fans will join our celebration.

I think 200k is low. That's about what we pay. NFL has to be higher, right?
According to answers.com, the average salary of an NFL receivers coach starts at $2 million and grows to $3.2 million. This seems a little high. Reference.com. Says the average assistant coach is paid $250 k to start, and Dallas coach Garrett made over $3 million as their offensive coordinator. Soooo my guess is it's closer to $250-300 k. And answers.com just lost all cred with me.

I got mine from an ESPN article I didn't do enough research on. Reading in to more detail of it, it had Monte Kiffin interviewing for the San Fran job...that was around 2003 or 2004 I think....OOOPS!
I would guess with the inflation of salaries overall in college football and the growth of the NFL, an assistant coach wouldn't be outside making $1million...but can't see Hazell making that much in his first NFL gig AND probably being viewed pretty poorly overall after the failure at Purdue. It isn't like he was pulling in massive talent at WR to Purdue either.
My guess would probably be around 500k...either way, any salary he is pulling helps his buyout!!!

Yep. Heard he was a nice guy. Glad he's gone. Wonder if he brought his big-ass binder with him to Minneapolis?
