Pretty exciting given they’re not UVA, Indiana, UCLA, etc. MU really raised the bar when it came to compensating their head coach to the level of the elite programs previously mentioned. Everyone loves a winner!

A week after the National Title, Chris Grassie signed a new 5 year contract for 1,878,750 or 375,750 a year. Making him the highest paid DI Soccer coach in the nation. He made 122,000 before May. He is well worth it as he is the best soccer coach in the NCAA. Only 36 schools pay their men's soccer HC more than 100,000. The avg HC makes less than 50,000 at 42,500.

Todd Yeagley (Indiana) 325,000
Mike Noonan (Clemson) 318,000
Jeremy Gunn (Stanford) 308,000
Carlos Somoano (North Carolina) 295,000

Those are your top 5 paid coaches. And here are their rankings:

#1 Marshall
#2 Indiana
#4 North Carolina
#6 Clemson
#8 Stanford

By looking at that, it does look like you get what you pay for.
