That’s a lot of $$$!
Does this make him the highest paid college volleyball coach in the US?
We think so!
According to cornnation.com, women’s volleyball head coach John Cook has received a 50% raise and now has a salary of $600,000 per year. On top of that, his contract at Nebraska has been extended until 2021. Since he became the head coach in 2000, Coach John has won 3 NCAA crowns, 10 conference titles and 6 NCAA Final Four appearances.
Coach Cook says:
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity and privilege to coach at Nebraska. The leadership, support and resources that Shawn Eichorst has provided for the Husker coaches and student-athletes is unmatched in college athletics. He has made it a priority to improve and enhance every aspect of our program, including adding Beach Volleyball as a varsity sport, which helps us compete and recruit at the highest level. I look forward to our volleyball program continuing to compete for championships in front of the best fans in college sports.”
We almost forgot to mention that with this new salary, he is Nebraska’s highest-paid women’s coach,.
Congrats Coach!
The man who runs one of the best programs in America gets paid big time.
