Angus is way over paid, some of that money should go to AT. Now, if the OL is worth a shit this year, then only a 50% cut in his salary would be appropriate. Have to say Chryst making more than AT is a head scratcher as well. The TE position group needs to perform as promised by Musgrave and Chryst.
Those are livable salaries in the Bay Area so that's good. Not sure how competitive they are within the conference but seems like it's at least workable. Don't really care if individual coaches are overpaid on these 1-year contracts since it keeps subsequent assistants from scoffing when we come asking.
Great article and very fascinating! I'm surprised at the total values (outside of Musgrave). Some tech jobs at the FAANG companies can actually pay more in total comp than what Aristotle or Angus make.
That is an awesome use of FOIA. Assuming this is all paid directly from the university, did they reveal where the funds come from? General budget or some sponsorship? Speaking of sponsorship, does Cal have the info on of it the coaches have monies coming from some sponsorship or boosters?
Thanks. We hear all the time about coaching salaries and competitiveness within our league and across the country. Good to have a sense of scale about it. Seems the typical assistant other than Musgrave is around $300K. That's a living wage in the Bay, but you are not buying that home in Kensington unless you've saved a lot.

Great deep dive!

Nice use of power to obtain information.
I didn't see anything too surprising in the legalese except the clause on lateral moves within the Pac12 which is, financially, frowned upon.
