Brad Salem got a promotion, and along with it, he’s getting a pretty good bump in his paycheck.
After coaching quarterbacks for the past six seasons, the Michigan State assistant was promoted to offensive coordinator in January by head coach Mark Dantonio, who shuffled his staff in an effort to breathe some life into an offense that ranked as one of the worst in the nation.
According to records provided by Michigan State, Salem’s base salary jumped from $402,462 annually to $517,847. He’s now the second-highest paid member of the staff behind defensive coordinator Mike Tressel.
