When he agreed to join the team as their new head coach, Mel Tucker made sure to also get a sizable increase in available salary for MSU Football coaches and staff. With the added funds, $6 million for assistant coaches, salary information is starting to be released about Michigan State’s new coaches thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, and Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reported that new offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic will be making $700,000 per year over the next two seasons.
This is over $200,000 per year more than former Michigan State offensive line coach Jim Bollman made, which was $498,462. Kapilovic made $425,000 last year at Colorado under Tucker. Not only is this a big increase for the new OL coach, but it’s also a sign of the major investment the Spartans are making in their supporting cast. In 2019, the highest-paid MSU assistant coach was Mike Tressel who made $667,385.
