Top 5 Coaches in FCS (salary)

[drpnut]

Who are the 5 top paid coaches in FCS?

Count everything as well, not just what the school pays.

Any guesses?

[GannonFan]

Keeler's up there in all likliehood.

[ButlerGSU]

This would difficult to find accurate information on because a lot of schools booster programs don't release this information.

[drpnut]

Butler,

This is just guessing... Who do we think?

I bet Hatcher is in there, Keeler, Bobby Hauck,

[mlbowl]

Bobby makes $128,000 annually at Montana

[ButlerGSU]

I would guess Hatcher gets around $250,000 plus perks

[danefan]

Bob Ford made $122,000 in 2006.

Not sure if it went up this year, but it probably did.

[nmatsen]

Farley just got bumped to approximately 200 ger a year garuanteed.

[JMU2004]

Mickey Matthews at JMU is up in the top 10, around $200,000 I believe.

[ncbears]

We pay ours with peanuts. No wonder we suck!

[KiddBrewer]

jerry gets paid with championship rings and love...and he loves itxnodx

na i really dont know, anybody got any idea? probably confidential

[Thunderstruck84]

I think Coach Bohl makes 119K base plus he gets performance incentives, hard to see him staying much longer unless that increases.

[griz37]

Don't count on Hauck being in the top 5 or even 10, the University system in Montana doesn't pay all that well.

[MaximumBobcat]

I think if it's a public institution, then you are allowed to see their salary (depending on the state). Otherwise I don't know how people get all the information on coacheshotseat.com

I know Coach Wright at TxSt gets around 150k, probably some other perks too.

[bluehenbillk]

Keeler's up there in all likliehood.

I believe Keeler is tops in 1-AA & is around the 350K mark, which is still much lower than Tubby made before he retired. The old Tubster was the highest paid state employee in the First State.

[Eaglesrus]

I would guess Hatcher gets around $250,000 plus perks

That's the number I've heard, and I guess it means that there is at least one person associated with GSU that has something to thank our former coach for.

[Monarch History]

Sources say that Old Dominion's new coach, Bobby Wilder, has a package that includes a base salary, radio-television stipend, an annuity paid by ODU’s Intercollegiate Foundation, and income from his summer camp. Best guess his total salary is valued between $170,000 and $200,000 a year. Not bad for a coach who won't play his first game until fall of 2009.xthumbsupx

[Ronin]

What's sad is it doesn't even compare to the millionaires in the bowl group.

[Barnstormer]

What's sad is it doesn't even compare to the millionaires in the bowl group.

True.. our top guy in the state makes $3 mil to go 6-6 every year. :)

[FargoBison]

I think Coach Bohl makes 119K base plus he gets performance incentives, hard to see him staying much longer unless that increases.

Bohl makes about $210K after coaches shows, camps, etc. I think his base is 135-145k.

[SUjagTILLiDIE]

SU's coach Pete Richardson base is $200,000 plus bonus that could bump him to $250,000. He has a TV show and $20,000 a year housing allowance, plus car's for him and his assistance, which are not included in that figure. Look for SU's next coach to make $300,000 plus.

[Russ B]

UC Davis' Bob Biggs has a base of just over 151k, accord to this article (http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2007/05/24/Sports/Showing.The.Money.Big.West.Head.Coach.Salaries-2907364.shtml) from May 2007.

[Henny]

I believe Keeler is tops in 1-AA & is around the 350K mark, which is still much lower than Tubby made before he retired. The old Tubster was the highest paid state employee in the First State.

Billk that surprises me since Tubby was old school, not that Im doubting what you posted (Im sure it's correct) after all, he earned it putting all those fannnies in seats and the real growth of UD football came during his era. I never knew. I guess all those years of success got him the dough.

[MR. CHICKEN]

AH'VE HEARD...DAT DELAWARE STATE'S AFFLETIC BUDGET INCLUDES.....$500,000...DAT IS SPLIT...BETWEEN DUH HEAD BASKETBALL & FOOTBALL COACHES....SESSOMS...IS UH SPORTS GUY..............xnodx......BRAWK!

[slostang]

Cal Poly's coach Ellerson makes around $130,000 base salary. I am not sure about other compensation.

[montanafan]

Don't count on Hauck being in the top 5 or even 10, the University system in Montana doesn't pay all that well.



Looking at all the other amounts posted I am surprised we have a coach like Hauck. I know here that the Uof M's annual budget it "public Information" so anyone can see this infromation. Bobby makes about 130K a year plus vehicles and other little perks like a weekely TV show and some other things but all together I think it is about 150K. Not much. Don't let the coaches see this post. We might be looking to hire a new coach from a D-2 school for the amount we are willing to pay. Way to go Uof M, good coach for pennies on the dollar. xviolinx

[dgreco]

URI Stowers made 155,000, new coach is looking at 150,000 also.

[gophoenix]

GSU is tops in the SoCon. I don't know an exact figure, but was told that Lembo was making double what he did at Lehigh. I think that is close to $170k

[Cage Free, Farm Fresh]

I did an internet search and it returned these website for state employee salaries:

SC: http://www.thestate.com/169/story/17442.html
IN: http://www.indystar.com/data/government/statepay.shtml
WA: http://lbloom.net/
KY: http://c-jonline.com/government/salaries/index.php

[Cage Free, Farm Fresh]

UNI's Farley makes $165k

http://www.gazetteonline.com/section/salaries02?appSession=53558728135662

[Seven Would Be Nice]

Van Goob was making 400k a year.. which is 133k per win....

or 50k a loss...

[BEAR]

Clint Conque, head coach at new member of the FCS University of Central Arkansas just got a raise. Seems to be on par with most of the country minus those high dollar coaches in the FCS.

From today's Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

All of the coaches, including Conque, received a bonus equivalent to 55 percent (the Bears ’ winning percentage this season ) of one month’s salary. That means that Conque’s salary this past season, including $ 32, 500 for his television show and a bonus of $ 5, 367. 08 for the winning percentage, was $ 154, 967. 08.

.....well deserved for the immense job of moving an entire football program from division II to the FCS in my opinion. xthumbsupx

[Cocky]

True.. our top guy in the state makes $3 mil to go 6-6 every year. :)

Our top guy makes 4 mil not sure of UAT's record.

[Cocky]

Crowe makes 150K plus incentives at JSU.

[flyenhigh]

What's sad is it doesn't even compare to the millionaires in the bowl group.


How is that sad? FCS programs do not generally make any money, in fact they lose tons. FCS coaches should be happy with what they get.

Does anyone have any concrete info on what these head coaches make? It would take a lot of work to pull these numbers up.

[flyenhigh]

SU's coach Pete Richardson base is $200,000 plus bonus that could bump him to $250,000. He has a TV show and $20,000 a year housing allowance, plus car's for him and his assistance, which are not included in that figure. Look for SU's next coach to make $300,000 plus.

Come on, this is not factual info.

[McNeese75]

We pay ours with peanuts. No wonder we suck!

yeah but I bet he gets the good peanuts :D

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx .......................wait a miinute...GSU is doing fine with their DII coach....xeyebrowx ........but then again his name is Hatcher. xthumbsupx xbowx xbowx

[WCU LawCat]

Briggs at WCU made 110K before he was fired.

It was posted somewhere that the new caoch will be at 150K and the assistants will get a raise also.

WCU is commiting to a winning football program.

[GrizFoo]

Mickey Matthews at JMU is up in the top 10, around $200,000 I believe.

You should ask for some of that back after he went for it against Appy on his own 30...I don't like Mickey as he is pretty full of himself, but a good coach, though the call to go for it against Appy was STUPID.

With all of the "perks" coaches get..as mentioned, it is tough to really tell. But base salary/incentive pay should be easy to fine.

JMU was 4 of 4 on fourth down for the day before that play, with each play going for more than 5 yards. They had not been able to stop Edwards all day... 3 JMU linebackers were injured in the game, there was a backup safety playing linebacker. Which do you think gives you a better chance to win??????? Look at it objectively, it was definately the right choice based on the game.
