Greg Schiano came to Ohio State for the opportunity to work under a friend in Urban Meyer and work his way back into the coaching ranks, with the eventual thought of leaving for a lead position in the future.
For the time he's in Columbus, however, Schiano will be among Meyer's highest paid assistants.
The newly minted defensive coordinator and associate head coach is set to earn $600K in base salary, according to the term sheet of his contract obtained by Eleven Warriors via an open records request through the university.
Schiano's base salary at Ohio State was first reported by Dave Briggs of the Toledo Blade.
