The head coaches of major college football programs are some of the highest-paid coaches in the world. They are CEOs of extremely valuable organizations and their usually suburban mansions reflect their wealth and status! Let’s take a look at some of the biggest names in college football and their homes!
Ryan Day – Ohio State University Buckeyes
No, I didn’t say “THE” Ohio State University, (VGT is based in Michigan). Ryan Day, the head coach of the Michigan-rival Buckeyes, replaced predecessor Urban Meyer in 2019 and the team has had massive success during his tenure, culminating in a NCAA National Championship in 2024. Ryan Day makes $20 million per year and lives in a positively massive 9,100-square-foot house in Powell, Ohio near the Columbus campus.
Dan Lanning – Oregon Ducks
Losing only to Day’s championship squad in 2024, Dan Lanning’s Oregon Ducks were the Big Ten champions in their first year after joining the conference. They’ve had great success in Lanning’s four years at the helm, and he has a $3-million home to show for his high-profile gig.
Lincoln Riley – USC Trojans
USC head coach Lincoln Riley has the rare collegiate distinction of coaching in a major metropolis and he has the gaudy Los Angeles real estate to show for it. Riley’s property is over three acres of ocean-view resort-style home, with a list of amenities longer than his notorious playbook: home theatre, tennis court, putting green, sauna, steam room, 600-bottle wine cellar, and a guesthouse!
Kalen DeBoer – Alabama Crimson Tide
There aren’t many bigger jobs in college sports than the top boss at ‘Bama. Hired last year to fill the shoes of Nick Saban, DeBoer moved into the megamansion right across the street from Saban! DeBoer’s house is on over two acres of the most coveted real estate in Alabama and comes in at over 13,000 square feet! Along with the pool and pool house, this property cost DeBoer $3 million.
Dabo Swinney – Clemson Tigers
Two-time national champion Head Coach Dabo Swinney built his home with his job in mind. About half the square footage of this massive home is dedicated to spaces like the gym and basketball court. It’s not only an amazing place to host recruiting visits, but coach Swinney is also known to deck the place out for Christmas, donning the beard and suit himself to play the role!
