The driving force for any coach in college baseball is the chance to lead his team to Omaha for the College World Series.
But the money doesn't hurt.
The eight coaches who will man the dugouts at TD Ameritrade Park beginning Saturday make a good bit of it, albeit less than they would have prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more than half took pay reductions this year.
Here's a breakdown of each coach's scheduled annual compensation, which does not include bonuses or the value of benefits and perks:
Total scheduled annual compensation of coaches at College World Series
• Vanderbilt's Tim Corbin: $1.2 million (this was Corbin's base salary for 2019 calendar year, according to the school’s most recent federal tax records. Exact terms of his contract are not known.)
• Arizona's Jay Johnson: $856,687 (after 20% COVID-19 pay reduction in effect from Aug. 10, 2020 through Dec. 27, 2020. Includes $302,300 as value of coach’s annual vesting in longevity fund units held by the University of Arizona Foundation on behalf of the university’s athletics department, as well as $65,000 paid from agreement with Nike.)
• Virginia's Brian O'Connor: $765,530 (after 10% COVID-19reduction in scheduled pay for current contract year in effect from July 1, 2020 through Dec. 24, 2020. Does not include money university is obligated to pay from agreement with Rawlings. He also earned a longevity bonus of $500,000 for staying on as coach from June 15, 2016, to June 1 of this year.)
• Mississippi State's Chris Lemonis: $750,000
• Texas's David Pierce: $731,250 (after reduction of $118,750 due to COVID-19)
• Tennessee's Tony Vitello: $550,000 (after reduction of $50,000 due to COVID-19)
• N.C. State's Elliott Avent: $434,833 (after reduction of $65,166 due to COVID-19)
• Stanford's David Esquer: N/A (Stanford is a private school and therefore not subject to public records laws. Esquer's salary does not rank among the top five at the university, which means it does not appear on the school's federal tax records.)

Ole Miss is paying Mike fricking Bianco the same amount as Tim Corbin. WAOM

Bianco ain’t going anywhere. Going to retire there

Most, if not all, college baseball salaries are misleading. Generally, more than 50% of their net take-home pay comes from royalties from endorsements and incentives. Corbin makes closer to the 2.5 range, O'Sullivan in the 1.6 range, etc. I think Mainieri's "salary" was only like $350k, but his supplemental salary was over $750k, and that's before incentive based bonuses after the season. He also got a $100k "longevity bonus" each year he stayed on as coach, I guess it would be akin to a roster bonus in pro sports.

Damn, that's pretty amazing.
I'm assuming that's not counting benefits either, like a free house, car, etc.?

Nope, Mainieri also got a membership at a country club, $1000/mo car allowance, compensation from the baseball camp, etc. The LSU baseball camp is HUGE and spans like 2 months of the summer. Skip built the thing so big that it became a point of contention when Skip was still running that show once Laval was head coach.

Bianco must have a good agent to dupe our athletic department

This is a huge profit center for a lot of college coaches. I know a baseball coach who recently retired and used to laugh that his university salary paid the taxes on his summer camp revenue.

Damn LSU should just hire all of them.

The camps are one way the “volunteer assistants” make a lot of their money

Even with those small salaries baseball still loses money.

There’s a handful of schools in the SEC that turn a profit but yes this is generally true

Yeah because like Chris Lemonis as an example has incentives like winning the west, the Sec, making the regionals , the supers, the CWS etc etc and I’d bet all of them have incentive monies too.

Corbin's base is more than $1.2 million now.
