SEC basketball coaches: Total pay
(Vanderbilt's coaching salaries are not public record since it is a private university.)

Arkansas coach John Calipari: $8,000,000

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl: $5,958,852

Tennessee coach Rick Barnes: $5,800,000

Alabama coach Nate Oats: $5,018,045

Ole Miss coach Chris Beard: $5,000,000

Kentucky coach Mark Pope: $5,000,000

Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams: $4,600,000

Mississippi State coach Chris Jans: $4,200,000

Missouri coach Dennis Gates: $4,100,000

South Carolina coach Lamont Paris: $3,750,000

Georgia coach Mike White: $3,610,000

Florida coach Todd Golden: $3,600,000

Oklahoma coach Porter Moser: $3,200,000

Texas coach Rodney Terry: $3,001,500

LSU coach Matt McMahon: $2,805,000

This is from a couple of weeks ago, so there has been some coaching movement and I expect some raises for some as well.

My god, if Todd becomes the youngest national championship winning head coach in history while making less money than Mike White.

We're the only school that pays their basketball coach more than the football coach.

Like, don’t get me wrong, Cal is a good coach and you could argue he should be the highest paid coach in the SEC. But $8 million seems excessive

He took a pay cut to come to Arkansas. Was making 8.5 at UK.

In hindsight, he may not be worth it, but it probably is fair market value.

Silly webble. Got to pay full price if your coach isn't a wife beater.

It is a bit overkill. Do hope it makes the job more appealing after Cal retires

I want five good years of Cal before finding someone that can do it for 15 or 20.
