I-AA Coaching Salaries Compared to I-A

[TexasTerror]

Here's a list of some I-A coaching salaries from a particular conference (C-USA). You know, especially the ECU and Marshall salaries, are not much more than some of the middle of the pack and definitely not more than the upper-echelon of coaching salaries of I-AA schools. Keep in mind these are base salaries and you know how the rest funnels through in I-A compared to some of the incentives of I-AA.

Anyone have some for sure coaching salary numbers to compare. I believe TxSt's coach made $115k to $125k this past year. Seems if your comfortable at a I-AA, there's no reason to go I-A as a coach. Anyone know how much Turner Gil is getting at Buffalo? He was in the hunt for some I-AA jobs...

Skip Holtz, ECU: $150K
Jeff Bower, USM: $275K
Watson Brown, UAB: $304K
Mark Snyder, Marshall: $144K
Tommy West, Memphis: $800K
Mike Price, UTEP: $225K
George O'Leary, UCF: $200K

Most of those sound low. I wonder if they are the "package" which usually includes outside endorsements, TV and radio shows, etc. Things that the school may negotiate but not pay for. West on the other hand sounds high.

Don't know about the others, but the Holtz package was reported as the following:

Holtz and the university agreed to a five-year contract with a compensation package of $390,000 for the first year and a guaranteed increase of $25,000 each subsequent year. He will also be eligible for another $25,000 if his team qualifies for a non-BCS bowl or $50,000 for a designated conference championship bowl game or BCS bowl game.

As we all know or have heard, base salaries for most head coach at the DI level are only a fraction of their total compensation, thus the motivation for some to move to D1.

Those are the base salaries, not the ones that include the TV, endorsements, radio shows and such...

I plucked this from a C-USA message board by the way when they were discussing the Rice base salary being $325k...

[TulsaBobcat]

Here at Tulsa (CUSA), it has been reported that Steve Kragthorpe makes around $400,000/yr. and is likely to make more next year. Those numbers do sound low.

Got it. But that also answers the question as to why a coach might go I-A. I have posted before that third hand info says Bobby Johnson's comp package increased 5 times from Furman to Vandy. Now Vandy is SEC but I would guess it is at the bottom of the stack in SEC coach's compensation.

[putter]

I believe Joe Glenn, who left Montana for Wyoming, makes $400,000/yr with incenties that could bring the total to $500,000+.

[SU Jag]

Man the people down in Birmingham have calling for Watson Brown's head, and rightfully so! UAB has failed to put a winning team of the field and they have failed to get their attendance up! Rumor has it, that there will be more than a few UAB players transfering to other schools in the comming weeks! This has been a very hot topic on Talk Radio down here!

[Hansel]

In total compensation, Bohl (NDSU), Kramer (Mont ST), Hauck (Mont) all make around 135k.

Kill (SIU) makes 165k

Georgia Southern was paying x-HC Sewak a base salary of $109,000 with a compensation package that totaled close to $250,000.

The new HC Bryan Van Gorder will get a base salary of $200,000 which is the same base salary of UGA's Mark Reicht (sp). Van Gorder will have a total package in the neighborhood of $430-450,000.

UGA's HC makes around $1.2 million in the total package. I think! :confused:

[straightshooter]

Looks like Van Gorder's base at GSU is $200K. Incentives are another $200K. Radio and TV show will be more on top of the $400K possibility for Van Gorder. Sewak's base was $109K and my guess is that his total package was in the $150K range.

$400k! Where do you get that kind of money?? :eek:

We had 4 RICH alumni to put up $250K each for 2 years to insure we get top notch coaches and assistants. Now, we are waiting on the assistants to be named. :hurray:

You have to get the alumni to give to the athletics department at your school to keep your coaches well paid. UD keeps the university endowment strong by getting us alumni to give each year. Anyone interested, click below ;)
