After a historically bad year on the offensive side of the ball, Rutgers knew that it was in desperate need of a new leader.
Kirk Ciarrocca was hired as the man for the job and his salary was officially approved on Saturday. The new offensive coordinator agreed to a three-year deal worth $1.4 million annually. Ciarrocca is now the highest-paid assistant coach in program history and one of the highest paid in the Big Ten.
Ciarrocca is set to make around $400,000 more than Sean Gleeson, who Rutgers still owes $1.05 million as part of their buyout.
