UF released contracts for its assistant football coaches. One received a hefty raise

The University of Florida on Tuesday released the contracts for its 10 new assistant football coaches.

All told, the coaches working under Dan Mullen will make a combined $4.75 million for the 2018 season in base salary with the opportunity to receive bonuses depending on how the Gators fare during the season. Florida assistants had a combined base salary of just less than $5 million in 2017.

The big winner is defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who will make $1.39 million in 2018, which is more than double the $650,000 he received when he was the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State. That mark would have been the fifth-highest in the country last season, according to USA Today.

Overall, Grantham's three-year deal is worth $4.47 million, which makes him the highest-paid assistant in school history.

▪ Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham: $1.39 million in 2018, $1.49 million in 2019, $1.59 million in 2020
