However, in this process and again late Sunday evening, sources strongly indicated to FootballScoop that Chadwell has stayed strong in his commitment to Liberty and his family has greatly enjoyed their transition from Conway, South Carolina, to Lynchburg, Virginia.

Chadwell is making $4 million, SMUs coach is sitting at 3 but obviously they are moving to P5. After that it's Willie Fritz (tulane) at ~$2.8 million. I would also venture to guess our assistant coach salary pool is highest among G5s as well.

I would like to see the defensive coaching staff get another year or two to prove themselves. Pending what happens in the portal we aren't losing much on that side of the ball. The pieces are there, I think we have an opportunity to really improve with a few adds through the portal.

Although at some point LU is going to max out what they can pay. But LU should be able to attract top talent with what they are paying now. Paying a little bit more to keep Your Guy makes sense

$9 million is gaudy for coaching in C-USA, but maybe close to top 25 ($6.3 million) eventually?

If we don't already have the highest G5 assistant coach salary pool that would be another good benchmark. Beyond that a top 25 salary would be an overpay unless we become semi regular CFP participants. At some point that money would be better spent elsewhere.Ill flame wrote: ↑November 20th, 2023, 8:18 amI figured he was up there in terms of salary for G5.
