The Alabama football team’s strength coach, Scott Cochran, will now be making $525,000 a year — a raise of $105,000 that was approved along with other athletics department compensation deals on Tuesday by the university board of trustees’ compensation committee.

During a conference call that featured an otherwise routine recitation of raises and new contract terms for football assistant coaches, Alabama AD Bill Battle called Cochran “the loudest and most energetic coach in the country” and said he’s “the equivalent of a coordinator with what he contributes” to the program.

While Cochran likely will be among the nation’s most highly paid football strength coaches — Iowa’s Chris Doyle is making $515,000 during a contract year that ends June 30 — he will not be making as much as Alabama’s coordinators.

Jeremy Pruitt, the new defensive boss for the defending national champs, will be making $1 million under a three-year-plus contract approved Tuesday and offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will be making $714,000 under a raise called for under the three-year contract he received in January 2014.

Pruitt had been making $1.3 million per year at Georgia under a three-year contract that was upended when head coach Mark Richt and the school agreed to part ways late last November. According to the terms of Pruitt’s contract, he was entitled to the amount remaining on his contract, subject to his duty to find another job whose pay would offset the amount Georgia owed him.

Kiffin made $680,000 during each of his first two seasons at Alabama. During the 2014 calendar year, he also received more than $2.7 million in buyout money from the University of Southern California, according to the school’s most recently available tax records. USC, which fired Kiffin in October 2013, also paid him $725,000 in buyout money during the 2013 calendar year, school tax records show.

Overall, the turnover that has occurred in Alabama’s coaching staff since the end of the 2015 season will result in a substantial decrease in the amount of basic pay it will give its nine on-field assistant coaches for the 2016 campaign.

The amount for this season will be just over $4.63 million, compared with more than $5.22 million last season.

Gone are former defensive coordinator Kirby Smart ($1.5 million last season, before taking Georgia’s head coaching job), assistants Mel Tucker ($500,000 before moving to Georgia with Smart), Bo Davis ($475,000 last season; he resigned in late April) and Bobby Williams ($440,840 last season, now in an off-field job at Alabama).

In addition to Pruitt, the new hires are:

►Derrick Ansley, at $395,000 (he made a base of $275,000 last season at Kentucky).

►Brent Key, at $350,000 (he made a $340,568 last season at Central Florida, but also was due $700,000 for not being selected as George O’Leary’s successor as head coach).

►Karl Dunbar, at $275,000 (came to Alabama from the NFL’s Buffalo Bills).

The Crimson Tide’s returning assistant coaches received raises:

►Tosh Lupoi to $550,000 from $425,000.

►Mario Cristobal to $525,000 from $515,000.
