The highest-paid linebackers coaches in college football: 2024 edition (Highestpaid2024)

Unlike the other positions, there don't seem to be "star" linebackers coaches. Don't get it twisted, I'm not saying there aren't great 'backers coaches. Of course there are.

What I mean is, there don't seem to be guys who become household names as career linebackers coaches, a Larry Johnson or a Tony Alford of the position. Like their counterparts on the other side of the ball -- quarterbacks -- LBs coaches quite often take on coordinator or co-coordinator roles on their path through the profession.

That's my observation, anyway. What say you?
