The Ole Miss football team is expecting a lot out of its coaching staff in 2025. With Lane Kiffin already the 11th-highest-paid head coach in college football, the Rebels added defensive coordinator Pete Golding to their growing list of high-priced assets.

Coming off a successful 2024 season, Ole Miss extended Golding in the 2025 offseason to make him the highest-paid assistant coach in the SEC, On3 Sports reported. The 41-year-old signed his new three-year deal in February, with the specific details becoming public recently.

Golding's new deal will earn him $2.55 million in 2025, $2.6 million in 2026 and $2.7 million in 2027. His contract includes incentives that could potentially increase that number, with Golding set to earn an additional $50,000 if Ole Miss wins the SEC Champions
