...is the lack of money we’re willing to shell out for our coaching staff. If you don’t look beyond Richt’s salary, you’d say we compensate our staff fairly well. But when you delve further into it, they can only pay him that $4 million by being cheap in other areas.
Thomas Brown has the OC title because it gives him additional compensation, because he’s a plus coach and recruiter. But Richt calls the plays.
Jon Richt was brought on not only because he’s CMR’s son, but because he’s an ultra cheap option as QB coach.
Rumph had never coached in college and while actually proving to be a solid CB coach, a very green coach will not make much money, relatively speaking.
Hartley is TE and ST coach. We pay him 1 salary to teach two position groups.
****, Diaz probably took a hometown discount because being HC is his dream job.
Yes Richt makes good money. But that’s because he’s HC, QB coach, and OC. Look beyond that, and you can see how they made up for his salary with cheaper options behind him.
The point is this: until we can pay the right amount of money for coordinators and position coaches, we won’t see the changes we want.
