Football coaches received $110,000 in bowl bonuses: $25,000 to O'Leary and the rest to nine assistants, who received an extra month's salary. 110,000 - 25,000 = 85,000 85,000 / 9 coaches = 9444.44 per month 9,444 * 12 months = 113,333 per year. Average UCF assistant coaching salary is $113,333. I think this is average for D1A schools. But if you look over their coaching histories you can see that most of them have done well at other schools. Lance Thompson was the assistant Head Coach at LSU when they won their last NC.
