Contract terms for Georgia’s assistant coaches were obtained by onlineathens.com on Friday.
All of the team’s position coaches are now on multi-year deals. That’s a departure from how the program operated under Mark Richt.
Newly hired receivers coach James Coley has agreed to a two-year contract worth $450,000. Meanwhile, the two coaches retained from the Richt regime — defensive line coach Tracy Rocker and linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer — were also signed to two-year deals.
Rocker will now earn $525,000, while Sherrer will be at $375,000. That’s a $25,000 raise for both of those coaches.
Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will receive $850,000 annually while offensive line coach Sam Pittman will earn $650,000.
UGA OC Jim Chaney ($850,000 annually) and OL Sam Pittman ($650,000) get 3-year deals. James Coley, Kevin Sherrer, Tracy Rocker 2-year deals.
