The Ole Miss Rebels have some of the highest expectations in college football this season, and their coach salaries reflect that sentiment entering 2024.

The Clarion Ledger recently released salary details for all seven of Ole Miss' returning assistant coaches this season, and defensive coordinator Pete Golding headlines the group with a payment bump from his original contract. According to the story, Golding was set to make $2 million in 2024 under his original deal, a number that has grown to $2.15 million in his new three-year deal.

Those payments are set to grow to $2.25 million in 2025 and $2.35 million in 2026 under the new framework. Golding's 2024 salary would have been the highest for a college football assistant coach, had it been in place for the 2023 season, but he will still be among the top-paid assistants in the country this season, despite a $2.3 million payout to Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.

Golding wasn't the only returning Ole Miss assistant to get a pay increase. Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. will now make $1.65 million in 2024 as part of a new three-year deal, seeing that number rise to $1.75 million in 2025 and $1.85 million in 2026. Under his previous contract, Weis would have made $1.5 million this season.

Golding and Weis' contracts also state that no buyout will be owed from Ole Miss should either of them leave to become a Division I head coach or take a job in the NFL.
