In addition to the new seven-year contract signed by P.J. Fleck earlier this week, the University of Minnesota has also inked new contracts with defensive coordinator Joe Rossi and offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca. Both are now signed through the 2025 season.
Rossi’s previously salary was $800,000 and will increase to $1.1 million on Dec. 16, 2022, when the first year of his new contract begins. His salary will increase to $1.15 million the following year, before he earns $1.2 million in the third year of his contract. Rossi now ranks sixth among Big Ten defensive coordinators in salary and the contract is fully guaranteed.
