The board also approved raises to offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier ($680,000 from $590,000), defensive line coach Chris Rumph ($360,000 from $310,000), linebackers coach Lance Thompson ($400,000 from $375,000), tight ends/special teams coach Bobby Williams ($400,000 from $350,000) and running backs coach Burton Burns ($315,000 from $290,000).

Additionally, two-year contracts of three new assistants were approved: Offensive line coach Mario Cristobal will make $475,000 in base salary while wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator Billy Napier and defensive backs coach Greg Brown are set to make $300,300 each.

Considering the run they are on I'd say it was money well spent.

And considering their OL is elite every season I find it hard to be up in arms over his salary.

Also considering the $18million they got for playing in the NC.

Their Oline coach is new. Cristobal was previously a head coach at one of those Florida schools. UCF or something like that.

And people wonder what it will take to compete with the Alabama's of the world. Here's your answer.

Mario Cristobal is the former head coach at Florida International and was an OL on two national title teams at Miami.

His salary shouldn't surprise anyone. Alabama is expected to approve Kirby Smart's raise, and the Crimson Tide DC is expected to get bumped up to $1 million dollars a year. Always made me laugh when posters on this board were naming Smart as their choice to replace JT.

SEC y'all!

Considering what their profession is and the cost of living is versus their compensation, I think they are quite happy.

Double-wides are very reasonable in Alabama - they all come with 4 cinderblocks ready to go in the front yard too.

Not of the same quality!

Must nice to work in a region that values football over education.
