UF coach Dan Mullen’s coaching staff was a big winner following the 2019 Gators’ 11-2 finish last season.
Mullen’s assistants received pay raises in early February totaling $490,000, according to coaching contracts provided to the Orlando Sentinel by the school’s University Athletics Association. The agreements were signed Feb. 1, more than a month before the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports and forced schools to alter budgets.
Linebackers coach Christian Robinson, who was hired for $80,000 in 2017, led the way with a $175,000 pay bump, putting his 2020 salary at $290,000. Two coaches received raises of $100,000 — quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson, pushing his compensation to $540,000 annually, and veteran defensive line coach David Turner, who now earns $465,000 this year.
