From August 2016---"According to updated contracts obtained by MLive via the Freedom of Information Act, Fife and Garland will both earn $266,500 in base salaries next season, while Stephens, Izzo's associate head coach, will earn $287,000."
Michigan's third assistant, Saddi Washington, was just published at $303,000. Michigan.
So our first year third assistant is being paid within shouting distance of what all three assistant coaches at one of the best programs in the country and the best team in our league were paid three years ago, and less that 80k less than the third assistant gets at the richest program in our league.
Pikiell got the guy he wanted after a thorough search. Full stop. You make posts that are wrong all the time.
