I agree with you on coaching salaries. It went from < 1 million per year to now over 10 million per year for top coaches.


I could be wrong but I believe Saban is the factor in this.

Eddie O made $900k the same year that Saban signed an 8-year $32million contract.

quote:

In 2007, at least 54 coaches will earn at least $1 million. Alabama's Nick Saban leads the pack at $4 million. Thirteen coaches earn at least $2 million, including Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and Ohio State's Jim Tressel. "As an academic, it certainly is challenging," Maturi said.


Bama said "frick it, I'm nuking everyone's budget."

LSU was the first school to pay a college football coach a million a year when we hired nick saban. I think it should have capped at 4 million for a top coach.

I understand it’s a 24/7 job but give me a break. I’m sure you can manage with that pay
