Additional notes:
— Travaris Robinson earns $1.2 million to coordinate South Carolina’s defensive while also coaching the secondary. Kerry Coombs also earns $1.2 million at Ohio State, as does Arkansas’s Barry Odom, while Derrick Ansley makes a flat $1 million at Tennessee. Phil Parker earns $800,000 at Iowa.
— Kelly is Alabama’s associate defensive coordinator — never seen that title before — and safeties coach.
— The margin to make the top 10 was the slimmest I’ve found yet. Ron English beat out Michigan’s Bob Shoop and his own co-worker, Florida cornerbacks coach Torrian Gray, by all of $1,500.
