Impending Assistant Coach Vacancies

SKULL SESSION: ESPN GIVES URBAN MEYER A DISRESPECTFUL ALL-TIME RANKING, HOW THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SAVED THIS SEASON, AND OHIO STATE'S ASSISTANTS ARE WELL PAID

GET PAID. With Ryan Day making significantly less than Urban Meyer, there's hypothetically quite a bit more money to spend on assistant coaches. And Ohio State is using it.

USA Today released its assistant coach salary database on Tuesday, and Ohio State is currently paying the third-most in the country for its assistants collectively, behind only Clemson and Alabama.

And based on the results, they deserve every cent – and probably more.

The interesting thing is, none of Ohio State's assistants are anywhere near the highest-paid assistants in the country. Greg Mattison is the team's current highest-paid assistant at $1.1 million a year, compared to three guys that make more than $2 million a year – Dave Aranda of LSU ($2.5 million), Brent Venebals of Clemson ($2.2 million) and Mike Elko of Texas A&M ($2.1 million).

Ohio State takes a different approach, paying more than a few coaches well above average. It's the only program with five (!!!) coaches making $900,000 or more – Jeff Hafely ($950,000), Kevin Wilson ($950,000), Mike Yurcich ($950,000) and Larry Johnson ($900,000).

And if they're going to keep them all, they're probably going to have to pony up a bit more cash. And I'll gladly contribute to the GoFundMe if it means keeping Jeff Hafley.

Someone needs to ask Dabo what kind of blackmail he keeps on his coaches to stop them from leaving. Feels like OSU loses at least one major coach every other year. Impossible to not have hiccups unless you find a way to hit multiple home runs every hiring cycle.

Other than Ash, not sure what names would pop up to replace him. Was looking at some lists and didn't realize that UAB had such a great defense the last few years. Especially after just restarting their program. Any chance their DC (David Reeves) gets some interest?
