This year, Colorado will be relying heavily on its OC/QB coach Mike Sanford to revitalize what was the team’s weakest link last season: offensive production.
Sanford certainly has his work cut out for him this season, but if he can turn in a positive performance and find a long-term home in Boulder, it will be worth his time. The new addition to Karl Dorrell’s staff was recently listed by Football Scoop as one of the highest-paid OC/QB coaches in the country with an annual salary of $625,000.
The Pac-12 as a whole was well represented in the top-25 list, with five other coaches from the conference listed. Washington’s OC/QB coach Ryan Grubb is the highest paid in the Pac-12 with an annual salary of $1.02 million — coming in as the fourth-highest in the country. Oregon’s Kenny Dillingham rounds out the top-five highest-paid OC/QB coaches at $1 million.
