Heard on the radio this morning that the Strength & Conditioning coach for football at Iowa (Chris Doyle) is making $595,000 annually after receiving a 15% raise since last season.
A lot to pay, particularly at a program that seems to have low expectations. Doyle has been with Ferentz for 18 seasons.
Doyle is being paid more than double the amounts going to many of his Big Ten Conference peers, and it’s $70,000 more than what reigning national champion Alabama’s Scott Cochran is being paid this season.
It’s also greater than what 29 FBS public-school head coaches made last season in basic pay.
A strength coach at a Power Five conference school getting paid on par with his team’s offensive and defensive coordinators likely is unique nationally to Iowa
