GAINESVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Florida coach Jon Sumrall\u2019s assistants will make a combined $11.2 million in 2026, a significant investment for a program desperate to win more often.<\/p>

Offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner tops the list after signing a three-year, $6.6 million contract to leave Georgia Tech and join Sumrall in Gainesville. Faulker will get $2.1 million in 2026 \u2014 the first $2 million coordinator in school history \u2014 and has a $100,000 raise set for each of the next two years.<\/p>\n

Only six college offensive coordinators were paid $2 million or more in 2025, according to CBS Sports. Fifteen defensive coordinators topped $2 million.<\/p>\n

Florida defensive coordinator Brad White signed a three-year, $5.85 million deal that starts at $1.85 million and also includes a $100,000 raise in 2027 and 2028.<\/p>\n

The Gators released the contracts Thursday in response to a public records request.<\/p>\n

Sumrall signed a six-year, $44.7 million contract last year that averages $7.45 million annually. The Gators will dole out more than $20 million to Sumrall, his staff of 15 assistants and a front office led by new general manager Dave Caldwell.<\/p>\n

Four of the assistants are scheduled to earn at least $1 million during their deals.<\/p>

Defensive line coach Gerald Chapman and offensive line coach Phil Trautwine will join Faulker and White in the seven-figure club. Chapman, the lone holdover from former Florida coach Billy Napier\u2019s staff, will make $950,000 this year and $1 million in 2027. Trautwine, meanwhile, starts at $750,000 and jumps to $1 million. Both signed two-year deals.<\/p>\n

Their salaries show Sumrall\u2019s commitment to rebuilding the team along both lines of scrimmage in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Napier\u2019s 12-man coaching staff was paid a combined $7.5 million in 2025. The Gators posted three losing seasons in Napier\u2019s four years.<\/p>\n

The rest of Sumrall\u2019s staff range between making $350,000 and $600,000 annually, all of them on two-year contracts.<\/p>\n
