Trustees approved a group of raises this morning for five Crimson Tide assistant football coaches and contract extensions through 2012 for the entire staff.
Here are the new salary numbers ...
-- Offensive line coach Joe Pendry: To $425,000, up from $390,000.
-- Offensive coordinator Jim McElwain: To $410,000, up from $360,000
-- Linebackers coach Sal Sunseri: To $350,000, up from $325,000.
-- Tight ends coach Bobby Williams: To $305,000, up from $290,000.
-- Strength coach Scott Cochran: To $210,000, up $160,000.
Salaries for three assistants -- Defensive line coach Bo Davis ($270,000), receivers coach Curt Cignetti ($250,000) and running backs coach Burton Burns ($270,000) -- remained the same though a year was added to those deals.
Pendry's deal increases to $450,000 in 2011 and Cochran's to $225,000 to 2011. Otherwise, the numbers remain the same in the second year of all coaches.
Defensive coordinator Kirby Smart is now easily the best-paid member of the coaching staff. Alabama increased Smart's salary to $750,000 earlier this year, matching an offer made by Georgia that Smart turned down to stay at Alabama.
New defensive assistant Jeremy Pruitt previously agreed to a two-year deal with $190,000 the first year.

Though the total amount for the life of the deal remains the same, Saban now stands to make a salary of $4,633,333.33 for the 2010 season, up from the original amount of $4.1 million and paid to him in full in February.
The raise and contract extension Saban agreed to last year included the formation of a $5 million "Contract Year Completion Benefit" clause that was to pay Saban a lump sum at three different times if he is still coaching the Crimson Tide. He would have been due an additional $1.6 million in Jan. 2012, $1.7 million in Jan. 2015 and $1.7 million more in Jan. 2018.
Under new terms approved today by trustees, Saban would still receive the same $5 million total, only it would be spread over each year instead of the three-year milestones. It also now involves "accrual dates" on Sept. 1 of each year with payment due on Feb. 15 of the following year. If Saban is coaching Alabama's team each year on Sept. 1, he would only be due the full amount in February if his contract is terminated by UA without cause, not if Saban terminates the deal.
Trustees also approved 2010 salaries today for Alabama assistant coaches.
As it stands now, Saban received an additional $533,333.33 on April 15 of this year. He'll get the same amount Feb. 15, 2011 and Feb. 15, 2012, assuming he's still coaching Alabama's team on Sept. 1, 2010 and Sept. 1, 2011.
The amount increases to $566,666.67 on Feb. 15, 2013 (with the accrual date of Sept. 1, 2012). That sum would be the annual payout until Feb. 15, 2018, the year of the contract's expiration.
Per terms of his original 2007 contract, Saban made a salary of $3.9 million during the 2009 season, with incentives pushing the total far past $4 million. Now the $533.333.33 bonus he accrued and received this April is added to that total.
He was scheduled to earn a base salary of $4.1 million in 2010, $4.15 million the following year and $4.2 million during the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons, though the bonus will now raise each of those numbers by at least half a million.
*** Saban also received a term life insurance policy as paid for by UA as a result of today's approved amendment.
RWS, are you still shitting your pants over how dumb we could be to pay our guru OC $500,000 when you're paying an OL coach $450,000 next year?
Here's what I could gather. I organized them by salary per team, rather than position to illustrate a point.
Chizik - $2,100,000 Saban - $4,633,333.33 = uat pays $2,533,333.33 more
Malzahn - $500,000 Smart - $750,000 = uat pays $250,000 more
Roof - $370,000 Pendry - $425,000 = uat pays $55,000 more
Taylor - $352,000 McElwain $410,000 = uat pays $58,000 more
Rocker - $330,000 Suneri - $350,000 = uat pays $20,000 more
Grimes - $319,000 Williams $305,000 = Auburn pays $14,000 more
Luper - $286,000 Davis - $270,000 = Auburn pays $16,000 more
Lolley - $231,000 Burns - $270,000 = uat pays $39,000 more
Boulware - $231,000 Cignetti - $250,000 = uat pays $19,000 more
Yoxall - ??? Cochran - $210,000 -- Couldn't find Yoxall's salary, but I'd be willing to bet it's under $210k.
So strength coaches excluded, uat is paying its coaches $2,944,333.33 more than Auburn.
Does anyone know what Yoxall's salary is to get a more accurate number?
