FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas board of trustees approved a salary of $700,000 for first-year Arkansas defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads on Thursday.
The length of Rhoads' amended contract is not publicly available, as the full document has not yet been completed. Rhoads was paid $350,000 last year, his first on Coach Bret Bielema's staff as defensive backs coach.
Bielema's coordinators -- Rhoads and Dan Enos -- will combine for the same salary as Enos and defensive coordinator Robb Smith made in 2016, when Smith was paid $800,000 and Enos made $700,000. Enos signed an amended contract in January that bumped his salary to $800,000 in 2017 and $850,000 next year.
