East Lansing – Michigan State’s offensive coaching staff changed last spring, and so did the contracts for many of the Spartans’ assistants.
As The Detroit News reported in May, Brad Salem, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator/running backs coach, received a pay raise from $402,462 to $517,847. He was the only member of the offensive staff to receive a raise, though defensive coordinator Mike Tressel also had his pay bumped from $572,308 to $667,385.
What the entire offensive staff did get, though, was an amendment to their contracts that moved them from a two-year rolling deal to a one-year rolling agreement, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
