The Boston Herald has a little section on public employees salaries which 
includes the head hockey coaches at Massachusetts and UMass-Lowell.  IIRC, 
Toot was making around $200K and Blaise Macdonald around $175K, do Umile's 
salary is not out of line with 2 HEA coaches whose salaries are a matter of 
public record.
