USA today released the salaries for all of the public school coaches yesterday which got me curious who the highest paid G5 coaches were this year. Private schools do not have to release their coaches salaries so in the case of SMU and Army’s coach we only have a ballpark figure to go off of. Also included are G5 equivalent independent coaches that would’ve been in the top 10 if they were in a conference as well as the highest paid coach from the sunbelt and MAC for context.

| 1 | Jamey Chadwell | Liberty (CUSA) | $4 million |
