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 by USA TODAY's Ellen Horrow and Casey Moore 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.
