When it comes to a complete coaching staff, it is much more than whoever is leading the program as the head coach. For elite programs, you have to have a talented staff of assistants who can both recruit and develop players, and well, that is exactly what the Alabama Crimson Tide have.
However, have you ever wondered just where each Alabama assistant ranks among the highest-paid in college football?
USA TODAY Sports released their annual database of salaries for assistant coaches in college football Wednesday morning, which provided a look into answering that question.
As of the 2024 season, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack is the highest-paid assistant on the Alabama staff at $1.55 million, followed by offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan at $1.35 million.
Wommack is the No. 19 highest-paid assistant coach in college football, exactly one spot ahead of former Alabama assistant and current Georgia Bulldogs Co-DC/safeties coach Travaris Robinson, while Sheridan ranks No. 35. Another notable name that ranks highly is former Alabama DC Pete Golding, who currently sits No. 4 at $2.15 million in the same role at Ole Miss.
The remainder of Alabama assistants salaries according to the USA TODAY Sports database are as follows:
