THE ANSWER IS ANYWHERE FROM $75,000 TO $100,000

It varies, as do all coaching salaires, but the average is $60 - 90k. The top coaches in Division II, for programs like Grand Valley State, Northwest Missouri State, and the like can make well in excess of $100k. This doesn't take into account accessorial benefits as well, which was add as much as $50k to that figure. The top salary I've personally head of is Chuck Martin at GVSU, who makes around $175,000 when the accessorial benefits are taken into consideration. There may be someone who makes a little more than that, but there aren't many and it isn't much more.

Division II coaches salaries vary wildly, so an average may not provide an accurate snapshot of the money made by these coaches.

There are over 150 D2 programs in the NCAA, and the vast majority of them are not seriously competitive on a year-by-year basis. These programs also appear at the lower end of the pay-scale, often with salaries at or near faculty minimums. These coaches are typically required to teach some classes in the "movement science" or physical education department (should their educational credentials permit-often a job requirement in these situations), similar to many high school environments. Salaries at these jobs may not exceed $40,000 per year. This is more common at private institutions that are not seriously seeking recognition on the football field.

At the high end programs, such as Valdosta State, Northwest Missouri State, Grand Valley State, Pittsburg State and the like, salaraies are often well in excess of $150,000 or even $200,000 per year. These coaches also receive performance bonuses for conference and national championships, and may receive monetary allowance benefits (for travel, housing, et cetera) that greatly adds to their overall compensation. These coaches often do not teach classes outside of the "football" area, especially since most state universities require a Ph.D or similar degree to hold a faculty position.

Much of the “Top” comment on this page is woefully inaccurate. Chiefly, the "vast majority" of Division II football teams are NOT irrelevant as suggested in the beginning of the second paragraph. Just the opposite, in fact. Like all levels of the NCAA, there are certainly a percentage of teams that struggle to remain relevant on an annual basis, but most Division II programs are stable, organized, well-funded and highly competitive, and coaching staffs are compensated according. With so many programs at the D-II level being public, state-funded institutions, salaries are easy to find if you know where to look. Based on my research, I would say at least 60% of head coaches exceed $100,000 per year and are equipped with multiple full-time assistants that make anywhere between $45,000 to $75,000 annually. Full-time assistants are also not required to retain any duties outside the football program. They do not have to teach classes and spend long stretches of the year traversing the country on recruiting trips and attending other football-related functions.

Furthermore, the gap between Division II and Division III is much, much wider than the gap between Division I FCS and Division II. The top end of D-II teams would have little trouble keeping it close with the lower-tier D-I FCS teams and would probably win 20-30% of the time if given the opportunity to play on a regular basis. Problem is, these matchups rarely materialize as few FCS bottom-feeders would be willing to accept the implications of losing to a D-II team, even against an established powerhouse like Valdosta State, Minnesota State, NW Missouri, Minnesota-Duluth, etc. The main reason the chasm between D-II and D-III is so vast boils down to athletic-scholarship allocation. Division II programs offer 36 “full-rides” and can divide and distribute them in a multitude of forms. Some players are offered the full package (full-ride) with most receiving anywhere between 10% and 90% of that amount. This allows for greater roster balance compared to D-III programs that cannot offer athletic-based compensation. If you want to play D-III football, you’ll have to find alternate routes to pay for your tuition. The ugly fact remains that the worst D-III teams — as-in the bottom 10% — would easily lose to a juggernaut high school team. That cannot be said about D-II, not even for a winless team in the worst conference.
