According to contract details released by Ohio State, the newly-hired Joe Philbin – the former NFL head coach who will be a senior advisor/analyst for the Buckeyes – will be paid $266,667 for his services during the upcoming football season.
Philbin, who will be Ohio State’s highest-paid analyst, brings nearly 40 years of coaching experience to Ohio State, working as an offensive line coach and offensive coordinator at the college and professional level, and he was also the head coach for the Miami Dolphins from 2012-15.
During his tenure with the Dolphins, he coached current Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, who said last week that Philbin has been a “phenomenal” addition.
“I think both from the former head coach, offensive coordinator, (offensive) line play, the wealth of knowledge when it comes to football,” Hartline said. “I mean, there’s so many litany of things that he brings to the building. How approachable he is, how coachable to coaches he’s going to be. There have been so many positives to having Joe on this staff.”
