With the release of USA Today’s database of college football assistant coaches, the magic number for South Carolina seems to be 15.
The Gamecocks rank 15th nationally on the list in staff pay and have the coach listed as the 15th-highest paid in the country.
Gamecocks offensive coordinator Travaris Robinson leads the way for USC with a $1.2 million salary. He’s one of 21 assistants to cross the $1 million threshold. He’s listed at No. 15, although that’s tied with the coaches at No. 13 and 14.
USC’s assistant total is $5,050,000, which is just behind Oklahoma and ahead of Ole Miss.
