When Mike Yurcich left Division II Shippensburg to become Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator, he was little known and relatively little paid.

He's now the highest-paid assistant in OSU history. Yurcich will make $800,000 in 2018, according to a report from the Tulsa World's Mark Cooper. Yurcich made $600,000 a season ago, more than 10 times the $52,500 he earned in 2012, his final season at Shippensburg.

The Oklahoman previously reported new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will earn $600,000 next season, while Greg Richmond, the added 10th assistant who will help coach defensive linemen, will receive $200,000.
