Some do, some don't. Probably just depends on the coach and the situation.
Apparently, Mizzou was willing to at least compete with LSU on Baker's salary:

While his new salary at LSU hasn't been confirmed, Missouri was willing to further raise Baker’s salary from $1.9 million to compete with the LSU's offers of more than $2 million — suggesting Baker’s decision was not motivated by money.

Well, that's what I'm trying to determine. Let's say I acquiesce on LSU being the better (short term?) opportunity. If Baker's really the guy why not go nuclear? Pay him $5 mil.
If Mizzou is destined to be a stepping stone, at some point you have to stop the bleeding. Seriously, what is a million or two when you have a current step up and want to continue to build?
A couple of million dollars is nothing if you are trying to make systemic changes.
Cue the Jimbo Fisher warnings.
