For the players Giovani Bernard Jersey , college football is amateur athletics. But for the coaches, amateur football can pay every bit as well as professional football.In some cases, even better: Todd Grantham has decided to remain the defensive coordinator at Florida after the Gators made him a very competitive financial offer to turn down an offer to become the defensive coordinator of the Bengals.The University of Florida announced that it extended Grantham’s contract through 2022 and increased his salary to $1.8 million a year Michael Johnson jersey , placing Grantham among the five highest-paid defensive coordinators in college football.There’s no word on what the Bengals were offering him, but suffice to say Grantham will make a salary at Florida that’s very competitive with what NFL assistant coaches get paid.It’s well-known in football circles that the highest-paid head coaches in college football make salaries comparable to what NFL coaches make. But all that money in college football is increasingly trickling down to the assistant coaches as well. The players aren’t paid, but the coaches are getting rich. Update: The Bengals are hoping Nick Vigil’s knee injury is just a sprain. Though Kevin Huber Jersey , not much is known as of now. The same is true of Darqueze Dennard’s shoulder injury.The Bengals and Steelers are notorious for banging each other up. The Steelers have suffered a few injuries of their own and the Bengals have their first addition to that list with linebacker Nick Vigil. Vigil has been ruled out of the game with a left knee injury. That’s a pretty bad sign for the Bengals’ linebacker depth.Vigil was hit with a block and went down on a first quarter play. It led to 20 yard James Conner run. Vigil went down and was quickly met by the trainers on the field. He was seen going to the locker room nearly immediately.Vigil was replaced by Vincent Rey initially, but we will likely see Hardy Nickerson Jr. and Jordan Evans as well if Vigil will miss an extended amount of time. This would be a big loss, as Vigil leads the NFL in stops (tackles causing an offensive failure) Clint Boling Jersey , according to Pro Football Focus. We will update as more information becomes available.
