As Fred Hoiberg’s seven-year, $25 million contract became public information. It’s likely Nebraska’s new head coach will have a much larger pool of money to hire assistants than his predecessor.
Michael Lewis was Nebraska’s highest-paid assistant last season at $256,200. First-year assistant Armon Gates was next at $256,000 while Jim Molinari was paid $255,267.
