Kerry Coombs Set to Make $1.4 Million, Ohio State Will Have Four Million-Dollar Assistant Coaches in 2020

Four Ohio State assistant coaches will make more than a million dollars in 2020.

New defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs will be the highest-paid assistant coach – and the second-highest-paid assistant coach in Ohio State history, behind only Greg Schiano in 2018 – with a $1.4 million salary for the 2020 season. That's a $900,000 increase from his salary in 2017, the final year of his first tenure at Ohio State as cornerbacks coach before he left to become the Tennessee Titans' secondary coach.

Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, who is now the only assistant coach on offense that holds a coordinator title, will make $1.
