Oklahoma State Assistants 24th in Pay at $3.6 Million per Year
National assistant college football salaries were released this week by USA Today, and Oklahoma State’s nine assistants slid in at No. 24 in the country in terms of aggregate salary.
With Alabama’s coaches leading the way at nearly $6 million per year, the Pokes’ coaches squeezed into the top 25 at $3.64 million. That’s just behind powerhouses like Kentucky, Iowa and Missouri.
Here’s a look at the top 25.
| Rank | Team | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alabama | $5,995,000 |
| 2 | LSU | $5,915,000 |
| 3 | Clemson | $5,725,000 |
| 4 | Michigan | $5,645,000 |
| 5 | Florida | $4,997,825 |

| 10 | Tennessee | $4,655,400 |
| 11 | Texas | $4,600,000 |
| 12 | Georgia | $4,565,200 |
| 13 | Ohio State | $4,485,000 |
| 14 | Oklahoma | $4,310,000 |

| 19 | Oregon | $3,945,000 |
| 20 | Iowa | $3,870,000 |
| 21 | Missouri | $3,778,000 |
| 22 | Nebraska | $3,725,375 |

| 25 | Louisville | $3,618,500 |
Glenn Spencer is the 46th-highest paid assistant coach in the country, and Mike Yurcich checks in at No. 70 (a steal considering his offense ranks No. 3 nationally in points scored per drive!)
Here is the list of all nine OSU coaches.
| National Rank | Coach | Salary | Max Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 46 | Glenn Spencer | $675,000 | $183,750 |
| 66 | Mike Yurcich | $600,000 | $165,000 |
| 179 | Josh Henson | $400,000 | $115,000 |
| 179 | Joe Bob Clements | $400,000 | $115,000 |
| 223 | Kasey Dunn | $360,000 | $115,000 |
| 229 | Tim Duffie | $356,314 | $84,386 |
| 273 | Dan Hammerschmidt | $325,000 | $96,250 |
| 360 | James McEndoo | $275,000 | $83,750 |
| 401 | John Wozniak | $250,000 | $77,500 |
It’s pretty interesting that Josh Henson is tied for the third-highest paid of the nine. It will also be interesting to see where a 10th assistant slots in when that is made available by the NCAA. Who does OSU hire and for which position? And how much are they paid?
Also of note, Rob Glass is the fifth-highest paid strength coach in the country. Money well spent.
| Rank | Team | Strength | Total Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Iowa | Chris Doyle | $675,000 |
| 2 | Ohio State | Mickey Marotti | $562,440 |
| 3 | Alabama | Scott Cochran | $535,000 |
| 4 | Clemson | Joey Batson | $450,000 |
| 5 | Oklahoma State | Rob Glass | $425,000 |
| 5 | Texas | Yancy McKnight | $425,000 |
| 7 | LSU | Tommy Moffitt | $410,000 |
| 7 | UCLA | Sal Alosi | $410,000 |
| 9 | South Carolina | Jeff Dillman | $400,000 |
| 10 | Missouri | Rohrk Cutchlow | $390,000 |
