In total, Memphis will save $90,000 in salary with its new hires. Most of that comes from Myers, who makes $100,000 less than previous offensive line coach Jim Bridge. Bridge made $365,000 last season as the Tigers' highest paid noncoordinator before coach Ryan Silverfield parted ways with him after three seasons.
Myers also took a pay cut from making $350,000 last season at Iowa State.
White will make the same amount that former coordinator Charles Bankins made last season. He also saw an increase in pay from last season making $102,000 at Buffalo.
Smith will receive $10,000 more than previous receivers coach David Glidden and received a bump from making $123,250 last season at UAB.
Silverfield will make $1.9 million this season, his fourth with the Tigers. It's a scheduled $50,000 increase that follows the terms of his original contract, which expires after the 2025 season.
