As the newly minted head coach of the football program at the University of Oklahoma, Riley is set to make $3.1 million per year. Signing a five year contract, the head coach stands to make an addition $200,000 for each year he remains at Oklahoma. However, there are additional incentives.

One of those incentives is currently tied to bringing home the national championship. Assuming that were to happen in the near future, Riley would earn an additional $425,000 on top of the current salary.
As the newest addition to the coaching staff, Ruffin McNeill now knows what he’ll take home each year. Signing a two-year contract, McNeill is set to earn $560,000 per year. He surpasses the likes of Bill Bedenbaugh in terms of money made despite the increase in Bedenbaugh’s payment.
