The Gainesville Sun has obtained the 2010 salaries for Urban Meyer's coaching staff, and, needless to say, there aren't food stamps or government cheese in their near future.
According to the paper, the nine UF assistants will earn a total of around $2.7 million for the upcoming season. As noted by the Tampa Tribune, however, that total could reach $3 million when bonuses for on-field performance are factored in.
That would, however, still pale in comparison to their SEC counterparts at Tennessee, who will reportedly make a combined $5 million this year.
New defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is the Gators' highest paid assistant at $440,000, followed by offensive coordinator/interim head coach Steve Addazio at $375,000. Addazio's total will likely increase soon as he will be compensated for "additional duties" when he took over for Meyer during the head coach's "sabbatical".
A UF spokesman told the Sun that the details have yet to be finalized on Addazio's amended contract.
The lowest paid coaches on the staff , there are five of them, including quarterback coach Scott Loeffler , will make $240,000.
