Wednesday saw the release of USA Today’s tabulation of all 128 FBS coaches’ salaries for 2016 and the not-so-surprising revelation that Jim Harbaugh earns a little over $2 million more than Nick Saban, last year’s national championship winning coach.
According to the report, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze is the ninth-highest paid coach in the land, and he stands set to rake in $4,703,500 this year, which includes a $300,000 bonus presumably as compensation for the Rebs’ stellar performance in the Sugar Bowl back in January. That figure does not include whatever other money Freeze receives from the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation, however.
