Hafley was making $3 million at BC. Average coordinator salary is around $1 million according to my impeccable source Google. That's a big haircut. And would have been even bigger for Kingsbury if he were a serious candidate for the Steelers OC position. I can totally understand a college coordinator making the move, but I'm a bit surprised about the head coaches, even with the challenging landscape.These college coaches have been put in a very difficult position. Free transfer every year, NIL, recruiting is a dirty, slimy game and there are no rules and regulations. It’s all about money. Period.
I don’t blame them one bit for getting out of the college game.
You are going to see more and more coaches hit the road.
They're paid very well for their troubles and I feel no pity for them.These college coaches have been put in a very difficult position. Free transfer every year, NIL, recruiting is a dirty, slimy game and there are no rules and regulations. It’s all about money. Period.

The coordinators in the Big Ten are making more than a million. I imagine those numbers are up for an adjustment.Hafley was making $3 million at BC.

BC is probably one of the bottom 5 Power 5 jobs in terms of school resources and being well-positioned for the NIL era. Can’t blame him for jumping at the opportunity. Two good years (heck maybe one) in the NFL and he will a head coaching candidate.Hafley was making $3 million at BC.

I doubt that $1 million is accurate, it's probably closer to $2-2.5. The thing that shocked me was how few DCs have held their current job more than 2 years. 27 Teams have had their current DC 2 seasons or fewer or are vacant.Hafley was making $3 million at BC.

What a loser. He leaves his whole staff and roster hanging this late in the game because he knows he won't last more than 2 more seasons at BC and cries about NIL on his way out.
Saying Hafley is getting just under $4 million.I doubt that $1 million is accurate, it's probably closer to $2-2.5. The thing that shocked me was how few DCs have held their current job more than 2 years. 27 Teams have had their current DC 2 seasons or fewer or are vacant.
Vic Fangio was making 4.5 million at Miami before he left to join Philly the other day.
Bobby Babich was making $600k as linebacker coach before getting promoted to DC at Buffalo.
Patrick Graham was making $2million as the Giants DC before going to Vegas.
Ejiro Evero is making $3.1 million as Carolina's DC.

Remind me, are these kids going to schools and begging them to play football there? Because if it’s the other way around then I’d say they earned a lot.He's not wrong, though. Who would want to put up with this stuff if you're at a school like BC? You can't build a program when anything you do develop can just be bought away. I'm sure you get tired of 18-year-old kids who haven't earned a damn thing asking, "What can you do for me?"
The big schools actually do have GM positions now.The college game is so disgusting now. You have a team of free agents who can leave at any time and you dont have a GM to deal with these contracts. So its you. You are CEO, HC, and GM.
