Intersting AI research, not sure how true this is. Landon Keopple might have to take a paycut to be a HC at UCA compared to an OC at Texas State. See below:
Nathan Brown (UCA head coach): $225,800 in 2025, per state payroll records on GovSalaries — up from $215,131 in 2023. Ninth season as head coach, and UCA confirmed him returning for 2026 with a bigger program investment push.
Landon Keopple (Texas State offensive coordinator): I couldn't find a published figure for him specifically — assistant salaries at G5 schools often don't get reported. For context, his predecessor Mack Leftwich made $350,000 as Texas State's OC per USA Today's 2025 assistant salary database, and Keopple was promoted internally from assistant WRs coach in January 2025, so he's likely somewhere in the $250k–350k range — but that's my estimate, not a verified number.
One caveat on both: those public-record figures are base state wages. They don't always capture the full package — camp income, incentives, and outside deals can add to it.
