Texas A&M wants to fix its offense, and it will certainly be paying its new offensive coordinator a good chunk of change to do it.
According to Kate Hairopoulus of DallasNews.com, the Aggies will pay Noel Mazzone $965,000 in 2016. Mazzone, who left UCLA after two seasons to sign a three-year deal with Texas A&M, will make $800,000 in base salary to go with a $165,000 signing bonus.
That’s nearly double what the school paid former offensive coordinator Jake Spavital last season. According to USA Today, Spavital earned $486,110 while in College Station for 2015.
Mazzone received $864,000 while at UCLA last season, including more than $330,000 as part of a retention bonus.
He led a Bruins offense that finished 28th in the FBS in total offense last season (465.9 yards per game) and 25th in passing offense (288.3).
Born and raised in Gainesville, Talal joined SDS in 2015 after spending 2 years in Bristol as an ESPN researcher. Previously, Talal worked at The Gainesville Sun.
