as of like 2 seasons ago the highest (reported) paid DC in the NFL was still under $1mil.
LSU paid each of the last 2 well more than double that guys salary. Pelini was closer to 3x’s.
Highest paid NFL DC is Wink Martindale at $3.25M prr year.

He’s worth it, too. Wink is a really good coach. Surprised he hasn’t gotten a head job yet.

College coaches work twice as hard....

THe college schedule is almost year-round.
- Recruiting
- Spring ball
- Summer Camps
- Recruiting visits
- Academics - keeping guys eligible
- Then Fall camp starts in Aug and it's almost 24-7

NFL coaches coach ball. They have a much more stable / reliable home life. NFL coaches have an offseason. I'm sure they're working but.... they're not flying across the country to visit recruits.

College is a tougher, more consuming job. So.... I can see why college coordinators make more money
