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.

*** $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.
