Head coach Justin Fuente had previously indicated to news outlets that Virginia Tech would release annual salary compensation for the coaching staff as soon as the staff was in place. On Tuesday, those numbers were supplied by a Tech athletics representative.
Tech released two sets of numbers: regular compensation, and 2021 reduced compensation. It is presumed that each coach will continue to make their reduced salary until the Hokies’ financial situation improves, at which case their salaries will revert to their original amount.

The 10 on-field coaches will combine to make a total of $3,168,000 in 2021. That is a decrease from their regular combined compensation of $3,520,000 thanks to budget shortfalls within the Virginia Tech Athletic Department due to COVID-19.
Here is how the 2021 reduced salaries break down on offense and defense…
Offense: $1,638,000
Defense: $1,530,000
Head strength and conditioning coach Ben Hilgart will make $252,000 in 2021, down from a regular compensation of $280,000.
