How much these eight coaches are actually making, FYI

[dangerboy42]

@UTMikeR posted this list in Brent's thread, I was curious what their salaries actually were so after looking them up I thought I'd post in case anyone else is curious.

• Offensive Coordinate Jim Chaney $1.6 Million
• Defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley $1 Milion
• Offensive line coach Will Friend $800,000
• Quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke $450,000
• Inside linebackers coach Brian Niedermeyer $325,000
• Outside linebackers coach Shelton Felton $225,000
• Tight ends coach Joe Osovet $225,000
• Strength and conditioning coach A.J. Artis $200,000

Personally, I have a little more understanding for somebody like A.J. Artis not wanting to take a pay cut at 200k, the story I pulled this from said that he was making under 100k as an assistant before this year. I understand coach life can be really unstable in the early years, so he probably isn't rolling in it like some of the others on this list. That said, 200k minus 20% is still 160k and a damn good salary especially in East Tennessee.
