Scott Cochran takes pay cut to head to Georgia
Scott Cochran took a pay cut to leave Alabama for an SEC rival.
Cochran, who left Alabama to become special teams coordinator at Georgia, will make $550,000 next year, according to an
AL.com public records request. He made $595,000 last year at Alabama.
Cochran’s base salary will be $325,000 and his supplementary income is $225,000. While less than what he made at Alabama, it is a significant uptick in salary from what Georgia paid its last special teams coordinator, Scott Fountain, who made $330,050 in 2019, according to USA Today’s salary database. This is Cochran’s first on-field coaching job after a career spent working in the strength and conditioning world.
