UF Football Coaching Pay Skyrockets

The University of Florida’s athletic department is splurging big on its football coaching staff, pouring over $11 million into assistant coaches’ paychecks for 2026 — a dramatic leap from last year’s $7.5 million. Offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner leads the charge with a $6.6M, three-year deal, earning $2.1M alone this year — the first coordinator in school history to hit that mark and placing him in an elite national tier. Defensive coordinator Brad White also signs a $5.85M contract, while position coaches like the DL and OL coaches see $1M+ annual bumps. With the head coach’s massive deal included, total coaching salaries now exceed $20 million — a bold statement that wins are coming.
