Mickey Joseph gets pay bump as Nebraska's interim HC
As one might expect, Mickey Joseph gets a pay increase for taking over Nebraska’s football program as interim head coach.
Joseph, whose base pay is $600,000 annually as a full-time Husker assistant, will receive an additional $33,350 per month in his role as interim head coach. The stipend’s term began Sept. 11.
His new terms stipulate that if Nebraska hires a head coach other than Joseph, he immediately would return to his role as associate head coach and receivers coach.
A breakdown of Joseph’s new contract
As the Huskers’ interim head coach, the 54-year-old Joseph is eligible for the following bonuses:
*** $100,000 for winning or tying for the Big Ten West title without an appearance in or invitation to the Big Ten championship game.
*** $200,000 if Nebraska plays in but does not win the Big Ten championship game.
*** $300,000 if Nebraska captures the Big Ten championship game.
*** $150,000 if Nebraska plays in any bowl game that is not part of the College Football Playoff invitational tournament to determine the national champion.

Joseph would be eligible for bonuses ranging from $300,000 to $650,000 if Nebraska were to reach the four-team CFP event.
Meanwhile, Mike Cassano, who was elevated to replace Joseph as Nebraska’s receivers coach, will receive a monthly stipend of $4,595 in addition to his base wage of $117,299.
New terms for Bill Busch (defensive coordinator) and Joey Connors (special-teams coordinator) will be available in coming days. Busch currently makes $400,000 and Connors’s salary was not listed on the official 2022-23 budget since he was a later addition.
