All this contract talk with Alabama football assistant coaches can get a little confusing.

Let’s make this easy.

To best explain how much each coach is making compared to that position a year ago, we made a little chart. In total, the 10 coaches will get a touch above $1.5 million more than last year’s group.

With seven new hires, there are a few musical chairs to consider.

A big chunk of the $1.5 million comes when trading Dan Enos for Charles Kelly. They didn’t trade titles, but Enos was effectively the 10th assistant added last season and Alabama shifted that 10th man to defense this season. Enos was receiving a buyout from Arkansas that offset the salary owed by Alabama.

The other biggest jump came in the offensive coordinator salary. Steve Sarkisian will make $350,000 more than Mike Locksley. The offer on the table to coach the Arizona Cardinals’ offense likely drove the market up for that payday.

On the other end, Pete Golding got a $450,000 raise to become defensive coordinator. But the salary for that DC position remains the same so it didn’t change the bottom line number.
