Assistant coaches do real well for themselves. Real well…
Think about how many people you know who make this kind of loot.
You know what they say, with extraordinary privilege comes heightened responsibility.

It’s nice to see them making all about the same. I expected Papuchis and Ekeler to be on the low side. I was hoping Watson would be the highest paid since he will have most of the offensive responsibility, but I was fearful Carl might get paid big since he is the (wink wink) defensive coordinator. Overall I would say it’s where it needs to be. What about Gilmore and Watson? How much more, if any, are they making under this regime?

I’d agree it looks about right. NU is fourth in the Big 12 in what it pays its assistants, Texas A&M is first at 1.6 mil and K State is the lowest at 860 thousand in assistants’ total salary. On paper it seems like alot for an assistant coach - to a guy who makes about half of what Papuchis makes anyway - but it is apparently right in line with other schools. Besides, I’m guessing Papuchis and the rest put in about twice as many hours a week as I do.

It will be interesting to see who this running backs coach is and if that will put them over last years budget. I’m guessing he makes a little change if he is coming from one of the top 6 teams.

Congratulations to the mens basketball team for setting the record of allowing the fewest points in a half. 35-8 at halftime.

Nice! I don’t now much about NCC but it still seems impressive to hold somebody to 8 points in a half no matter who it is. Nice job Huskers! Thanks for the score Count!

I should point out it’s a Bob Devaney Sports Center record. For the record NCC is not a good team by any stretch.

Still, only giving up eight for an entire half is awesome. Congrats to Coach Sadler’s boys.

lol, hell for that matter holding another team to twenty for a half - which the apparently did in the second - is impressive D. Again, well done Coach S.

I agree that Shawn Watson should be on top not just for the responsibilty aspects, but his experience and overall success at the position throughout his career. I feel good about this staff and see the return of a blue collar physically dominant blitzkrieg on football Saturdays.
