Head coaches in college football tend to just be the face of recruitment. They get to be the ones who makes people come into the program and ensure that they see their vision through. Coordinators, whether it's on defense or offense, are the people in charge of big schematic and rotational changes. This is why they are highly valued and get paid a pretty penny. So, how much do they earn annually?
College football coordinators usually get the most vitriol out of anyone else. They are responsible for game-winning drives or repetitive mistakes which causes a program to plunge further down into their conference standings. All of this pressure necessitates quite a hefty paychecks too.
When only Power Five schools are taken into account, the average salary for a college football coordinator is estimated to be above $1 million. If one is so vital to a team's success that the program would not want them to leave, this is where the big guns come in. Renowned coordinators like Kirby Moore, Charlie Weis Jr., Andy Ludwig, and Mike Denbrock all make figures higher than $1.5 million per year.
The only reason why these coordinators would leave willingly is if they are being given a larger opportunity in the NFL or to be a head coach in another program. So, it's safe to say why these people catch a lot of flak when game days come. They are often paid really high and are one of the biggest heads when it comes to deciding what happens to the team.
