Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4062277, member: 1559"] Another way to look at how much money we should spend on a head coach. What are the average and median salaries of the FBS teams that UConn is scheduling? (Note: These are close approximations as not all salary data is public.) 2021: Average = $3.54 million. Median = $2.25 million 2022: Average = $2.73 million. Median = $2.5 million If we are gong to schedule teams that, on average are paying their head coach $2.5 to $3.0 million per year, you had better target that as your salary range if you want to be a competitive football program LT. Granted, if you hire a young FCS HC, you should be able to pay less until they prove their success. Or, group teams by Head Coaching salaries and decide which group do you want to compete with: $3.5 to $4.0 million: Liberty, Syracuse, UCF, Miami, Colorado, Cal, Houston, Virginia Tech, Baylor, NC State, Maryland $3.0 to $3.5 million: Georgia Tech, Washington St, BC, SMU, Duke, Navy, Air Force $2.5 to 3.0 million: USF, Vandy, Temple, Arizona, Colorado St., Kansas, Wake Forest $2.0 to $2.5 million: Tulane, Fresno St., Memphis, North Texas, Tulsa $1.5 to $2.0 million: New Mexico, MTSU, Rice, Boise St., ECU, FAU, Coastal Carolina, UAB, FIU, Western Kentucky, Central Michigan, Toledo $800k to $1.0 million: Hawaii, Buffalo, Georgia St., Marshall, Nevada, Troy, Arkansas St., UTEP, Ohio, Texas St., $600k to $800k: UMass, Miami (OH), Bowling Green, Old Dominion, NM St., Akron Again, I come up with a target range of $2.5 to $3.0 million.
