Ole Miss was in the middle of the Southeastern Conference pack this season when it came to compensation for assistant coaches.

The Rebels’ coordinators and position coaches made a collective $4,261,700 with defensive coordinator Dave Wommack leading the way at $800,000, according to USA Today’s updated salary database. Ole Miss is in the market for another defensive coordinator following Wommack’s retirement.

Ole Miss’ assistant salary pool, a bump of more than $1 million from the $3.11 million they made a season ago, ranks eighth out of the SEC’s 13 public schools and 14th nationally. Vanderbilt, a private university, did not have to release salary information.

Last season’s pool for assistants ranked 12th in the league.

Offensive coordinator Dan Werner is next at $670,500 while offensive line coach Matt Luke made $565,300. Defensive line coach Chris Kiffin came in at $450,500 followed by cornerbacks coach Jason Jones and running backs coach Derrick Nix (each $400,000), tight ends coach Maurice Harris ($375,400) and receivers coach Grant Heard and safeties coach Corey Batoon, who each made $300,000.

How many assistants will be retained with a new defensive coordinator set to be hired by head coach Hugh Freeze is unknown.

Texas A&M defensive coordinator John Chavis is the nation’s highest-paid assistant at $1,558,000. LSU’s coaching staff, which had two assistants added midseason after defensive line coach Ed Orgeron was promoted to head coach following Les Miles’ firing, is the highest-paid in the country at $5,781,500.

Alabama ($5,320,000), A&M ($4,811,000), Georgia ($4,675,000), Tennessee ($4,545,700), Florida, ($4,530,709) and Auburn ($4,456,250) are the other SEC teams with higher assistant salary pools than Ole Miss this season.
