Okay, so I was super curious about who’s making the big bucks coaching college baseball. I mean, we always hear about football and basketball coaches raking it in, but what about baseball? So, I dove in to find out.
My Little Investigation
First, I just started by hitting up Google. You know, the usual “highest paid college baseball coaches” search. I figured there’d be some lists out there, and boy, was I right!
I started clicking through a bunch of articles. Some were from, like, sports news sites, and others were from those websites that track salaries. I was just trying to get a feel for the names that kept popping up.
It took some time, I found the following information:
- Name: Jay Johnson
- School:LSU
- Total Pay:$3,000,000
- Name: Tim Corbin
- School:Vanderbilt
- Total Pay:$2,479,668
- Name: Chris Lemonis
- School:Mississippi State
- Total Pay:$1,625,000
- Name: Mike Bianco
- School:Ole Miss
- Total Pay:$1,625,000
- Name: Dave Van Horn
- School:Arkansas
- Total Pay:$1,375,000
After digging and browsing some discussions, I realized a few of the coaches were up there. It’s a little bit difficult to get the precise figures as some are private schools, but it is sure that they are making a lot of money!
Honestly, it was a bit of a rabbit hole! But it was cool to see the names and start to understand the landscape of college baseball coaching salaries. I feel like I have a much better grasp on it now. Next time someone asks, I’ll have something to contribute!
