It might seem like that to Arizona Wildcats fans, based on the results to this point, but Kevin Sumlin has been a bargain compared to what some college football coaches get paid.

Sumlin is scheduled to earn $3.283 million for the 2020 season, according to USA Today’s annual database of CFB coaching salaries. That ranks 43^rd out of 119 FBS coaches whose salaries were publicly available and sixth among Pac-12 coaches.

That figure includes a $216,667 reduction as part coronavirus-fueled pay cuts that all Arizona coaches took. All told, Sumlin is due to lose $455,000 in compensation due to UA department cuts.

Stanford’s David Shaw is set to be the Pac-12’s highest-earning coach this year, making $4.812 million. Utah’s Kyle Whittingham was on tap to make $5 million for 2020 but had his pay reduced by $365,822 to sit at $4.634 million.

ASU’s Herm Edwards is scheduled to make $3.64 million, for those scoring at home, while the Pac-12’s lowest-paid coach is Oregon State’s Jonathan Smith, who will earn $2.288 million.
