— Coordinators (or co-coordinators) not included in this list (because they’re coordinators or co-coordinators): Clemson’s Jeff Scott ($1 million), Michigan’s Josh Gattis ($900,000), Nebraska’s Troy Walters ($700,000), South Carolina’s Bryan McClendon ($675,000), Mississippi State’s Luke Getsy ($600,000), Florida’s Billy Gonzales ($577,000) and NC State’s George McDonald ($368,000).

— Brian Hartline made $105,000 as Ohio State’s interim wide receivers coach in 2018. Ryan Day has since named him the Buckeyes’ full-time wideouts coach, but his salary is not yet public. You can safely assume it’ll be above $105,000, though.

— Equally worth of mentioning: Alabama does not have a wide receivers coach as of this moment. For what it’s worth, Gattis made $525,000 while coaching the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers in 2018.
