[February 2nd UPDATE] Kentucky has reportedly hired Lamar Thomas as the new receiver coach, and Mark Mangino for the newly created offensive quality control position. Thomas made $200,000 per year at Louisville last season, but UK's last two receiver coaches were contracted to make $275,000 per year. It's reasonable to assume Thomas will at least match that figure, and UK's staff salary rises even further.
Mark Stoops has clearly made an effort to improve both his coaching staff and support staff this off-season. The pay roll is expanding as much as the infrastructure.
