=== Assistant coach Seth Wallace removed as defendant in Iowa Football Discrimination Lawsuit ===
Iowa football linebackers coach Seth Wallace has been removed as a defendant from a racial discrimination federal lawsuit, 10 months after he was added.
Despite no specific claims against him involving racial bias, Wallace’s name was brought into the case in April 2022 by the attorneys for eight Black former Hawkeye players who are seeking damages for what they allege was a demeaning and retaliatory culture run by head coach Kirk Ferentz and former strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle. The lawsuit was initiated in November 2020.
It is important to note Seth Wallace was never deposed in this lawsuit.
Not every linebackers coach coordinates the entire defense, and not every defensive coordinator also coaches linebackers... but a lot do.
For today's installment, we've split the subjects into two groups. The top group, as you'll instantly surmise, serve as their team's primary defensive coordinator. The median salary for this group hovers around $1 million, and the top approaches $2 million.
This next group often holds plenty of additional titles -- co-coordinator, assistant coordinator, special teams coordinator -- but they are not their unit's primary play caller, and their pay stubs reflect that. This group's median salary is closer to half a million dollars a year.
1. Seth Wallace, Iowa -- $700,000 2. Mike Stoops, Kentucky -- $675,000 3. Brian Jean-Mary, Tennessee -- $665,000 4. Jeff Choate, Texas -- $625,000 4. William Inge, Washington -- $625,000 4. Randy Shannon, Florida State -- $625,000
