SEC football is largely built on the legacy of their coaches. Many legends will come and go in this conference but their coaches would often last decades. This constant state of producing greats at their position is exactly what Coach Gus Malzahn was known for. Throughout his time from Arkansas to Auburn to Florida State, he mentored many big names in the NFL. So, how much did he make throughout this time?
Coach Gus Malzahn was not the greatest wide receiver of his time. In fact, he was not even drafted into the NFL so his coaching career started very early. His first big coaching appointment after several years of mentoring high school players was with his alma mater. Arkansas gave him the keys to their wide receiver room and even served as their offensive coordinator afterwards.
After years of bouncing around teams, he landed a long-term head coaching position with the Auburn Tigers. His tenure there lasted for about seven seasons. Throughout that span of time, an average of 4.6 players from his squad got drafted into the NFL. He clearly knew what to do with a college program.
While he is no longer with Auburn, Coach Malzahn is still mentoring young minds as an offensive coordinator for Florida State. His long run in the realm of college football has gotten him a very pretty penny. When the numbers from his salaries and bonuses are all added up, his net worth amounts to $10 million. If his helpful acumen continues, this number would surely grow rapidly in the next few years.
