New Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney has a three-year contract that will pay him $850,000 per season, while new Bulldogs offensive line coach Sam Pittman has a three-year deal at $650,000 annually.
Pitttman is the highest-paid non-coordinator in Georgia history.
The university released memoranda of understandings Friday afternoon through open records requests. Chaney ($85,119) and Pittman ($250,000) also are receiving one-time payments as buyouts from their previous schools, with Chaney having coached at Pittsburgh this past season and Pittman at Arkansas.
New receivers coach James Coley will work with a two-year contract, as will the two defensive assistants - Tracy Rocker and Kevin Sherrer - who were retained by new head coach Kirby Smart. Rocker will earn $525,000 annually, while Coley will earn $450,000 and Sherrer $375,000.
Chaney will earn less than previous offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who made $957,200 this past season. The highest-paid assistant in Georgia history is Jeremy Pruitt, the defensive coordinator this past season who left last month for the same role at Alabama.
Woerner headed to Hall
Scott Woerner, a Georgia starting cornerback from 1978 to 1980, was elected Friday into the College Football Hall of Fame. Woerner becomes the 13th former Bulldogs player to be elected, and he will be inducted in December at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
"On our undefeated national championship team of 1980, he was to our defense and kicking game what Herschel Walker was to our offense," former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said. "Scott was one of the most versatile players I ever coached."
Woerner led the nation in punt-return average in 1980 and had 13 career interceptions. As a senior against Clemson, he had a 98-yard interception return and a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown in Georgia's 20-16 triumph.
After spending the 1981 season with the Atlanta Falcons, Woerner went to the USFL and was an all-league safety with the Philadelphia Stars in 1982.
