Tim Corbin, the legendary head coach of Vanderbilt baseball, saw a slight dip in his compensation in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to recently released federal tax records.

As a private institution, Vanderbilt isn't required to make full contract details public. However, the university must file a 990 tax form that discloses the compensation of its five highest-paid employees within 18 months of each calendar year's end. The Tennessean obtained the 2024 records—the most recent available—through a formal request.

While Corbin's exact 2024 salary isn't broken down in the filing, the numbers show he earned slightly less than his 2023 total. For context, Corbin has been the face of Vanderbilt baseball for over two decades, leading the Commodores to two national championships (2014 and 2019) and consistently developing MLB talent. His compensation reflects his status as one of college baseball's most successful and respected coaches.

For fans and followers of the game, this glimpse into coaching salaries offers a behind-the-scenes look at the financial side of elite college athletics—and a reminder that even the best in the business aren't immune to annual fluctuations.
