Ole Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. is among the highest-paid coordinators in college football after he inked a new contract following the 2023 season. His new deal almost makes him the highest-paid offensive coordinator in the SEC.

Weis reportedly signed a new, three-year contract after the 2023 season that will pay him $1.65 million in 2024 — a $150,000 raise from his previous salary. His base salary will increase by $100,000 for each of the next two years, setting Weis up to make $1.75 million in 2025 and $1.85 million in 2026, according to a report from the Clarion Ledger.

And only four offensive coordinators in the country are currently making more than Weis now, according to Pro Football Focus: Notre Dame’s Mike Denbrook ($2.1 million), Ohio State’s Chip Kelly ($2 million), Utah’s Andy Ludwig ($1.8 million) and Clemson’s Garrett Riley ($1.7 million).

The next-closest SEC offensive coordinators in terms of salary are ArkansasBobby Petrino and Missouri’s Kirby Moore — who are both making $1.5 million annually — followed by Georgia’s Mike Bobo at $1.4 million.

This story will be updated.
