Except for newly hired defensive coordinator David Gibbs, Texas Tech football assistant coaches all will be working the 2015 season on one-year contracts they signed recently.
Nearly all the assistants signed the new deals between early June and early July. All the assistants’ contracts run from May 1, 2015, through Jan. 31, 2016, except for Gibbs’ deal. He signed a two-year, $1.1 million contract upon being hired Jan. 5 from Houston.
Tech provided all the contracts in response to an open records request filed by A-J Media.
The next highest-paid assistants are offensive coordinator Eric Morris and co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Mike Smith, both of whom have an annual base of $260,000.
