Indiana football: New contract details for offseason hires, returning assistants
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football coach Tom Allen’s on-field assistant coaches will make just shy of $4.7 million dollars in 2023.
The university provided the contracts of Allen’s three offseason hires to The Herald-Times in response to a public records request.
Co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Matt Guerrieri will make $575,000 ($400,000 base salary and $175,000 in outside, marketing and promotional income), run game coordinator and offensive line coach Bob Bostad will make $650,000 ($400,000 base salary) and wide receivers coach Anthony Tucker will make $425,000 ($350,000 base salary).
They all signed two-year deals.
Indiana also provided the contracts for Indiana’s returning staff members that show running backs coach Craig Johnson, defensive line coach Paul Randolph and special teams coordinator Kasey Teegardin had their deals renewed this year and extended through 2025.
That automatic renewal clause is included in each staff member’s contract. The clause extends each assistant’s deal every year based on “satisfactory performance” as determined by Allen and athletic director Scott Dolson.
The only coaches that have deals that expire at the end of this season are offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Walt Bell (Dec. 31, 2023) and linebackers coach Chad Wilt (Jan. 15, 2024). Cornerbacks coach Brandon Shelby’s contract runs through the end of the academic year (June 30, 2024).
