Updated 2015 SEC coaches salaries with bonuses
USA Today has updated its college football salaries database for all FBS head coaches with the addition of bonuses earned during the 2014-15 season.
Alabama’s Nick Saban is the nation’s highest-paid coach this season at $7,087,481. That includes a $425,000 bonus from last season for winning the West Division title and SEC Championship.
Four of the nation’s Top 10 highest-paid coaches are from the SEC. Only Kentucky’s Mark Stoops is outside the Top 25 nationally in terms of pay. Since Vanderbilt’s a private institution, Derek Mason’s salary is not revealed.
