Shoop made $500k
I think Hudson was $450K
They were paid the fair and going rate. Don't think we were cheap here...just made the wrong hires.
Not so fast my friend... this from the J & C back in March 2015...
Purdue is paying a combined $150,000 more to its assistant football coaches in 2015 compared to last year.
Three assistants - Marcus Freeman (linebackers), Taver Johnson (secondary) and Gerad Parker (receivers) - each received raises totaling $120,000.
Freeman's salary increased from $150,000 to $200,000; Johnson received a $25,000 bump to $250,000 and Parker, who is also the program's recruiting coordinator, now makes $175,000 - a $45,000 increase.
New tight ends coach Terry Malone's base salary is $250,000, which is $30,000 more than former receivers coach Kevin Sherman's salary.
All total, Purdue is paying its nine assistant coaches $2.245 million, which remains near or at the bottom of the Big Ten.
The salary information was obtained from the university through an open records request by the Journal and Courier.
Per his contract, head coach Darrell Hazell received an annual $50,000 raise. Hazell's guaranteed income (not including bonuses) is $2.1 million in 2015.
John Shoop (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks): $400,000
Greg Hudson (defensive coordinator): $395,000
Taver Johnson (secondary): $250,000
Terry Malone (tight ends): $250,000
Jim Bridge (offensive line): $225,000
Rubin Carter (defensive line): $200,000
Marcus Freeman (linebackers): $200,000
Gerad Parker (receivers/recruiting coordinator): $175,000
Jafar Williams (running backs): $150,000
To be fair I need to look at how we fit with the full pool of money compared to others. If Minnesota is paying a few guys $100K then it evens out.
