Vols on a roll and save some dough with new staff

Tennessee will still pay their new coaching staff just a under a million dollars less than what Lane Kiffin's 1st and only year that the staff made in 2009.
According to a release issued by the school, Derek Dooley and his new staff will be paid a total of $4.525 million in 2010. Last season, Kiffin and his assistants pulled in $5.325 million.
Dooley's six-year contract is worth $1.8 million annually, whereas Kiffin was paid $2 million in his only season in Knoxville.
"In the few short weeks working with coach Dooley, it is evident that he is going to do a tremendous job as coach at the University of Tennessee," athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a statement. "A great deal of that anticipated success is due to the first-class staff he has assembled to assist him. I look forward to watching them work in the months and years ahead."
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox will be the highest-paid assistant with a three-year deal worth $600,000 a year, followed by offensive coordinator Jim Chaney (three years, $425,000), assistant head coach/wide receivers Charlie Baggett and linebackers coach Lance Thompson (three years, $375,000).
