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.)
