Florida is sparing no expense in its effort to maintain elite status in college football. That means paying new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis an astounding $2.625 million over the next three years.
The Palm Beach Post reported the salaries of all of coach Will Muschamp¹s assistants. Not surprisingly, Weis is the most handsomely compensated.

Weis will make more than he made as head coach at Notre Dame. The Chicago Tribune reported last year that Weis earned $649,000, including base salary, bonuses, "other" income, deferred income and non-taxable benefits.
The Tribune said Weis earned $850,000 from Adidas and about $1.3 million for media appearances and other compensation from Play By Play Sports.
At Florida, the former Kansas City Chiefs coordinator will get $765,000 this year, then $865,000 annually over the next two years, according to the Post. He also received a $100,000 signing bonus and gets a $10,000 supplement for wearing Nike apparel.
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn¹s base salary is $500,000, and he signed a two-year contract.
Florida is saving on head-coaching salary versus last year. Urban Meyer earned roughly $4 million in base pay, while, Muschamp will make $2.7 million per year for five years. The University Athletic Association confirmed Muschamp¹s salary in December, but his contract has not been made public yet, according to the Palm Beach Post.
