Stanford just posted its job opening of Greg Meehan‘s former position, Paul A. Violich Director of Women’s Swimming. Under the posting, the estimated salary is listed as $160,000 – $195,000 per annum. It is unknown what Meehan’s contract was with Stanford as it is a private university.
Last week, USA Swimming announced that former Stanford women’s head swimming and diving coach Greg Meehan would become the next National Team Director.
Although Meehan’s salary with USA Swimming will not be public until USA Swimming’s required tax filings are released sometime next year, the job posting gave an estimated salary of $300,000-$400,000 base plus bonus. Lindsay Mintenko, the prior National Team Director, had a base salary of $293,927 in reportable compensation plus an additional $52,951 in estimated other compensation.
To compare some of the top head coaching salaries in the NCAA, Bob Bowman had a base salary for his first season at Texas of $400,000. Bowman led the Texas men (as Director of Swimming and Diving) to an NCAA title. Todd DeSorbo of Virginia led the women to their 5th NCAA title in a row and as of the contract he signed in 2021 had a base salary of $140,000. DeSorbo leads both the men’s and women’s programs. Tennessee’s Matt Kredich also leads the men and women and has a base salary of $270,000.
