Tennessee assistant coaches receive raises, extensions

Following Josh Heupel’s massive new deal, the rest of Tennessee’s football staff has received raises and extensions. Heupel, who is now set to make $9 million annually, led Tennessee to an 11-2 record during the 2022 season. He’s now signed through the 2028 season.

Now his staff is set to cash in as well.

Joey Halzle, who took over the offensive coordinator title after Alex Golesh moved on to South Florida, saw his salary more than double. Halzle will now make $850,000, bumping up from $400,000 in 2022. Halzle is under contract through the 2025 season.

New tight ends coach Alec Abeln will make $243,750 in his first year as an on field assistant.
