Does anyone know the year length on some of our assistants contracts I was curious?
 
Assistants are renewed on on an annual basis. This is generally true of coordinators, but can vary depending on the quality of the coordinator. Not sure about ours.

edit: I'm pretty sure.

Georgia Tech football assistant salaries largely the same from 2019

For the second year of his tenure, Georgia Tech coach Geoff Collins kept the salaries of his 10 assistant coaches largely the same, except for raises for running backs coach Tashard Choice and defensive line coach Larry Knight that moved their pay into the same range as other assistants.
www.ajc.com www.ajc.com

Brent Key is on a 2 year deal at 600k per year. The rest of the assistants, including coordinators are year to year.

Thacker: 450k
Patenaude: 400k
Burton: 325k
Wiesehan: 300k
Choice: 236k
Dixon: 235k
Popovich: 230k
Coleman: 230k
Knight: 230k

Our salary pool is 46th out of 51 public schools in P5 (Private schools don't release that information)

Big Edit: This information was for the 2020 season. Since then, Key has recieved a raise to 650k. Remember, he almost jumped ship to South Carolina. I would imagine the rest are largely unchanged.

Key shows loyalty with contract

How much is Georgia Tech offensive line coach Brent Key’s loyalty to his alma mater worth?

We pay him more than Thacker and Pnut to coach THAT O line?

And Beamer offered him 750k. I am hesitant to believe he is the problem, unless he just has the wool pulled over all of college football's eyes.

The difference between these is criminal.

The D-line has definitely shown more signs of life than the secondary, especially relative to the talent there.

Among the position coaches, I would most want to keep Choice and Dixon and I think I like what Knight and Coleman have done, too. They just need more bodies. Burton, Popovich and Weisehan (Tight Ends and Special Teams) preside over the most underachieving groups.

That salary pool is about half of what it needs to be to buy quality coaches on the open market. You need 7 figures to get a top coordinator. You need half a million to get a top flight assistant. This is where the disparity in the TV money between the SEC and everybody else really hurts. Every month Mickey Mouse deposits $4m more in Athens than he does in Atlanta.

Regardless, Choice's pay needs to be substantially higher than even the $300k it was raised to. Caralla also deserves a raise. Those are the two on staff who are doing Reveno level assistant coaching work. You don't have to look very hard to see the fruits of their labor everywhere.

I looked it up, $45 million per school in SEC vs $32 million per school in ACC, so that's about $1m more every month, still huge

After ESPN's buyout of CBS's SEC inventory takes place and then the SEC gets another bump from OU/TX you're looking at the SEC making closer to $80-100m/yr/team. BTW they go back on the open market in '24 or '25. The ACC won't sniff the open market until '36. Thanks Swofford.

Coordinators usually get 2 yr contracts, Position Coaches, the rest of the Assts are usually on 1 year Deals that get renewed yearly.

Maybe at places with more "focus" on FB do you get Coordinators with 3 yr deals and regular Assts on 2 yr deals, think big money places like Texas, OU, Clemson, Ohio State etc.

In order to stay competitive, all the big boys with the deeper pockets step up and keep up with the Joneses, maybe Texas was the first place that started the multi year deals for Assts.
