Florida has released the contracts of its new football coaches to GatorBait.net via an open records request, and the Gators are spending competitively on their assistants.

While the Gators paid their assistants $3.23 million in 2014, Florida is set to spend $3.42 million on its assistants in Jim McElwain's first year as coach.

Defensive coordinator Geoff Collins is the highest paid coach on the staff and will make $600,000 annually on a three-year deal. Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier will make $500,000 for 2015, $525,000 for 2016 and $550,000 for 2017.

Nussmeier will receive a retention bonus of $300,000 if he is still employed at Florida on Feb. 14, 2017.

Collins received a signing bonus of $100,000 and will also receive a $125,000 retention bonus if he is still employed at Florida on Feb. 14, 2016 and a $150,000 retention bonus if he is still employed on Feb. 14, 2017.

The next highest-paid assistant coach is defensive line coach Chris Rumph, who is on a two-year deal that pays him $415,000 in 2015 and escalates to $425,000 in 2016.

Linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Randy Shannon is on a three-year deal that pays him $400,000 in 2015 and 2016, but escalates to $425,000 for 2017. He also received a $200,000 signing bonus and will be paid a $100,000 retention bonus if still employed on Feb. 14, 2016. That retention bonus escalates to $125,000 if he's still at Florida on Feb. 14, 2017.

Tight ends coach and special teams coordinator Greg Nord is on a two-year deal, which pays him $375,000 in 2015 and escalates to $400,000 in 2016.

Running backs coach Tim Skipper is on a two-year deal, which pays him $350,000 in 2015 and escalates to $375,000 in 2016.

Defensive backs coach Kirk Callahan is on a two-year deal, which pays him $300,000 in 2015 and escalates to $325,000 in 2016.

Wide receivers coach Kerry Dixon is on a two-year deal, which pays him $275,000 in 2015 and escalates to $285,000 in 2016.
