2. Arkansas- Jeff Long $903,900

Um. Guess he's doing the best he can with what he has to work with?

3. Tennessee- Dave Hart, Jr. $817,250

Not delivering much bang for the buck.

4. Texas A&M- Eric Hyman $800,000

Worth it.

5. LSU- Joe Alleva $725,000

---

His two big hires have been Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones. One was a bust, and the other is looking good in his first year, too early to tell. Utterly impotent when representing LSU's interests to the SEC. Has publicly stated LSU's official position in football that it's not about winning championships, but "being in the hunt" to win championships, whatever the frick that means. Overpaid.

6. South Carolina- Ray Tanner $675,000

Baseball coach is the AD? Or is he no longer the baseball coach? Whoever heard of promoting the baseball coach to athletic director? Wait...never mind.

7. Missouri- Mike Alden $674,317

---

If he's not personally building the addition to the football stadium with his bare hands, then...

quote:

8. Kentucky- Mitch Barnhart $654,0000

A bargain, if he can find a football coach.

---

9. Auburn- Jay Jacobs $615,000

quote:

10. Alabama- Mal Moore $600,500

---

Has done a crappy job in most respects, but he got Saban, and that's all that matters.

quote:

---

11. Georgia- Greg McGarity $525,000

---

Maybe a bit underpaid, in light of the others.

quote:

---

12. Mississippi State- Scott Stricklin $450,000

---

Basketball has flourished in his tenure.

13. Ole Miss- Ross Bjork $400,000

If Freeze works out, they are going to have give this guy a raise.
