Alright, so you wanna know about that BYU football coach salary, huh? Well, let me tell ya, these football fellas, they make a whole lotta money, more than this old woman ever seen in her life, that’s for sure.
Head Coach Kalani Sitake, that fella gets paid a whole bunch! I heard tell it’s somethin’ like three million dollars a year! Can you believe that? Three million! That’s enough money to buy all the chickens and cows in our whole county, I reckon. They say he signed a big paper back in 2021, and that paper keeps him gettin’ paid ’til 2027. That’s a long time to be rollin’ in that kinda dough.
- Head Coach Salary: Around $3,000,000 per year.
- Contract: Signed in 2021, good through 2027 season.
Now, not everyone on that team makes that kinda money, no sir. Those young fellas, the assistant coaches, they get paid less, but still more than most folks around here. I heard them graduate assistants, the ones learnin’ the ropes, they get somethin’ like thirty-two thousand to forty-seven thousand dollars a year. That ain’t chicken feed, you know. Thirty-nine thousand on average, they say. That’s still good money for a young fella just startin’ out.
Then you got the coordinators, the fellas that help the head coach. They get paid even more than the young fellas. I heard it’s anywhere from five hundred thousand to a whole million dollars a year! My goodness, that’s a fortune! These football coaches, they must be livin’ high on the hog, eatin’ fancy steaks and drivin’ shiny cars. I bet they don’t even have to worry about the price of eggs, like the rest of us.
BYU Football Assistant Coach Salary:
- Graduate Assistants: $32,000 – $47,000 per year.
- Coordinators: $500,000 – $1,000,000 per year.
You know, they say part of the reason Coach Sitake gets paid so much is ’cause he’s good at his job. He got BYU into that Big 12 conference, and they even tied for first place this year. That’s a big deal, I guess. People like winnin’, and they’re willin’ to pay big bucks for it. And seein’ as how they went and give Coach Sitake more money for his assistant coaches, I reckon they want to keep winnin’ for a good long while.
Why the big bucks?
- Winning: Coach Sitake led the team to a tie for first place in the Big 12.
- Big 12 Conference: BYU’s move to the Big 12 is a big deal.
- Support Staff: Part of Sitake’s contract included more money for assistant coaches.
And it ain’t just the coaches getting paid. That whole football program, it’s a big money maker. They got fancy stadiums, and them games are always packed with people. They sell tickets, and hot dogs, and them big foam fingers. And all that money, well, it goes somewhere, and some of it goes into them coaches’ pockets. Makes you wonder if they even know how much a loaf of bread costs these days.
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on the BYU football coach salary, as best as this old woman can tell ya. It’s a whole lot of money, more than most folks can even dream of. But I guess that’s the price you pay for winnin’ football games. These coaches, they work hard, I reckon, even if they do it wearin’ fancy clothes and yellin’ at young fellas on a field. It’s a different kinda work than what I’m used to, but hey, as long as they’re happy and ain’t hurtin’ nobody, I ain’t got nothin’ to complain about. Just wish they’d send a little of that money my way, maybe I could finally get that new porch swing I’ve been wantin’. But, well, a woman can dream, can’t she?
