for 2017
UNC's highest paid is Kapilovic at #156 - $436,450. As that is low for a P5 coordinator, a case can be made that he is not over paid. However, that does not alter the fact that we have both OL development and OC issues.
#164 is Terry Joseph - $425,000. How is our highest paid assistant a guy who came from an SEC team that has shown weak or inconsistent D every year under Kevin Sumlin? There was 1 year at A&M with Joseph as DB coach where the passing game D was good. But that required A&M to have a front 7 that finally put pressure on QBs. And then the Aggie pass D was back to low average or worse.
#257 Gunter Brewer - $345,100. If there was any doubt that Brewer is our best position coach, it should have been sent to bed this season. Our assistants seem to have trouble developing 2nd team players who are high quality. Late this season, due to injuries, Brewer was playing WRs who were 4th string in Fall Camp. And they all looked either good or needing only game experience to be good.
#281 Mike Ekeler - $325, 000. Another first year coach. Our LBs started the year thinner than our DBs and suffered worse injury.
#315 Deke Adams - $300,000. Like Kapilovic, Adams is an old time Fedora assistant: he was at USM 3 years and then with Fedora his first year at UNC. I see that as no positive, perhaps especially on defense. Well, considering Kap, maybe not especially on D.
#339 Chad Scott - $294,350. We have TE depth and potential, but that was true before Scott, whose experience is as RB coach, arrived.
#345 DeAndre Smith - $290,000. Smith has not yet had time to develop RBs at UNC. But he is not the kind of RB coach you hire if you are serious about trying to land a Zamir White.
#357 John Papuchis - $279,125. Papuchis is not a GREAT DC, and I say that nobody can be with the Fedora offense. But anybody who thinks Papuchis, even as just a position coach, is worth barely more than half what Terry Joseph is paid deserves a 3-9 team.
#576 Keith Heckendorf - $167,475. As Fedora is an offensive genius who knows everything there is to know about QBs, his QB coach can be extremely poorly paid.
