The information below applies to the data obtained for the 2023-2024 contract season: To see the methodology behind this data, click here.
Where the table does not display a number, it means the amount could not be obtained. An asterisk means additional information about the coach's compensation is available by clicking on the number shown.
“School Buyout” figures are the amount a school would owe coach if it fired coach without cause on April 1, 2024. Many of these amounts are expressly subject to coach's duty to make good-faith efforts to find another job, with income from that employment offsetting the amount owed. If mitigation and offset are not addressed in a contract, coach still may have obligation to make efforts in that regard. The amount listed may be owed to coach over an extended period of time, rather than as a lump sum at termination.
Coaches' records are going into 2023-24 season, compiled from information displayed in NCAA statistics database at NCAA Statistics – so they may be impacted by games vacated or forfeited by the NCAA or the schools.
"Record at school" data for Murray State’s Steve Prohm is based on his current tenure at the school.
