New Nebraska assistant coach Mickey Joseph talks with the media Dec. 15 during a news conference at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska assistant coach Mickey Joseph speaks during a news conference Wednesday at Memorial Stadium.
Nebraska is paying its new wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator more than it paid any offensive staffer in 2020 or 2021.
Mickey Joseph, whom Scott Frost hired away from LSU last month, is set to earn $600,000 annually for the Huskers on a contract that runs through Dec. 31, 2023, according to a copy of the document obtained via a records request Tuesday afternoon by the Journal Star.
Joseph is also carrying an associate head coach title.
Nebraska also finalized the contract of new offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, who will earn $325,000 annually.
Raiola joined the staff after spending the past four seasons as the assistant offensive line coach for the Chicago Bears.
For the past two years, no offensive staff member made more than $500,000 for the Huskers. Both offensive coordinator Matt Lubick and offensive line coach/run game coordinator Greg Austin made that amount during the 2021 season.
Before that, offensive coordinator Troy Walters made $700,000 in each of his two seasons as NU’s offensive coordinator in 2018 and 2019.
New offensive coordinator Mark Whipple’s contract has not yet been released by the university, but it will not be a surprise at all to see him surpass the mark of any offensive assistant to date under Frost.
