New Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken was recently hired by Kirby Smart to bring the Bulldogs’ passing game up to speed with the rest of college football.
Monken, who previously coached as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Bucs, will take over for James Coley calling plays.
Per contract information obtained by DawgNation, we now know Monken’s salary at Georgia.
Monken will be earning $1.1 million as Georgia’s offensive coordinator in 2020.
According to the College Football Assistant Coach Salaries database at USA TODAY, that figure will make Monken a top-15 paid assistant in college football. There are only two offensive coordinators who earn more than Monken – Steve Sarkisian at Alabama ($1.55m) and Jim Chaney at Tennessee ($1.5m).
Coley, who remains on staff at the moment, earned $950,000 last season as offensive coordinator of the Bulldogs.
As reported by 247Sports, new UGA quality control analyst Buster Faulkner will earn a $150,000 salary.
