To determine the total pay packages of the 136 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches for their current contract years, USA TODAY Sports requested all forms of compensation for the coach from all public schools and obtained federal tax records or other required disclosures from private schools.
There are 26 schools or athletics departments that are private or are public schools covered under state law exempting them from releasing full compensation data on coaches. Schools that provided contract documents were given the opportunity to review their figures. Because of recent changes to the College Football Playoff format and to various conferences’ former divisional structures, schools also were specifically given the opportunity to provide information about how those changes impacted existing bonus provisions.

Any pay the university guaranteed (even if paid by shoe/apparel company or another source) is included as “School Pay.” Anything not guaranteed by the university is included in “Total Pay.”
A not available (—) in the chart denotes amounts from schools that are private, did not release the information, or are amounts that cannot otherwise be determined.
A $0 means the coach doesn’t, or did not, get compensation from that source.
