Details Emerge from Contract Extensions of Three UK Football Assistants
As Mark Stoops finalizes his 2019 coaching staff, we now know the details of new deals for three UK offensive assistants.
Records obtained by the Courier-Journal reveal a few significant raises. Last week we learned Vince Marrow now holds the title “Associate Head Coach.” Along with that promotion is a substantial raise. On track to make $475,000 in 2019, Marrow’s new three-year deal comes with a $600,000 starting salary and increases by $25,000 each year.
Offensive coordinator Eddie Gran will receive a similar deal after turning down an offer from Georgia’s Kirby Smart. The three-year extension begins with $875,000 (a $25K increase from his previous deal) in 2019 and increases by $25,000 each year.
Wide receivers coach Michael Smith’s first deal at UK was set to expire at the end of this season. Instead, he’ll get a $25,000 raise to $450,000 a year through 2020.
All three contracts come with buyouts; Smith’s is $100,000, while Gran and Marrow’s is $150,000.
We should learn more about Brad White and Jon Sumrall’s promotions before Spring Practice begins March 4.
