Highest Paid track coaches in NCAA?

No way that is his total compensation. His peers earn $300K. Some earn $500K. He wouldn't stick around when he could get $400K elsewhere.

The highest-paid college football coaches have annual salaries that'll make anyone's head spin. The big question is, are they worth it? See the top-10 now.

He probably sticks around because he likes winning championships by coaching in flagstaff at a school that lets him use most, if not all, his scholarship allocations on distance runners. He's also bound to be getting a bit on the side from coaching Rupp and his wife.

Yeah he could take more money like Sean Carlson to go to a Tennessee like situation but no way he creates another dynasty at a non-distance focused school.

And good training location for his wife.

I would be interested to know what "peers" like Rob Conner at University of Portland and Pat Tyson at Gonzaga make. Because they are private Catholic schools, I bet it's more than Mike but still under $200k per year.

Really? You would quietly overperform in your job getting paid 1/3 what peers earn?

There's often deferred comp and other benefits (for everyone on the list) that might not show up unless comp were tracked across many years.

Doesn't Mike Smith also coach Luis Grijalva, Nur and Elle Henes? That must add up.

I’d say Mike Smith’s other “payment” is the schools investment in a $30 million dollar altitude facility.

Sad thing is he’s going to take the Colorado job when Wetmore is forced out shortly and take over that salary.

Maybe not but apparently he is willing to do that. If the rumors of Oregon trying to get him were true, he even would've turned down something close to Jerry's offer just last Summer.

Any idea what Dave Smith makes or UNC or NC state coaches make?

Not apparent. It is apparent to me that he receives compensation for pro coaching and from donors.

What about Carol Smith Gilbert? Georgia stole her from a pretty cush job at USC...And they were paying the previous coach over 500k

Certain schools need their commitment examined, this is silly. While many get bonuses and supplemental income that is not listed, a number of these are straight pay with weak bonus structures. BTW, you can pretty much clock success by these compensation numbers. There seems to be a correlation, imagine that

How much is Ritzenhein getting from coaching the ON Group? What about Danny Mackey at brooks? Any ideas?

Sullivan is now the director of both programs at UM . I would guess a 25-30 % pay raise maybe more . Much more perhaps ? 140 to be safe
