Shouldn't there be an asterisk next to the national title bullet under LSU?

Good point. Technically Saban did have a split title.

i agree. this will be what his 15th season? and even though he hasn't won a national title he still has multiple conference championship titles and appearances. shitty he makes so much less money


Richt has only won 2 SEC titles and the last of those was 10 years ago in 2005. He is 2-4 in SEC title games, only been to 3 BCS bowls (record 2-1), and finished in the top 10 only 6 out of his 15 years at UGA. Do you still think he is underpaid?

I am not saying that Mullen, Sumlin, Freezus have earned their money either. They are all over-paid, but Richt isn't under-paid for what he has/hasn't accomplished. The others are all actually paid what they are to keep them from going to another school with which they would have more talent and be able to compete at a higher level. UGA knows Richt isn't going anywhere. What other school would put up with the mediocrity that is UGA football and not have fired their coach. He knows it too.

I didn't know it converted like that. So 13-11 in the SEC converts to what? 21-3 in the Big12? With three straight losses to UT, of course.

Another error in their "data". Saban is 91-17 at Alabama if you're including "vacated wins" from 2007. Why mention "including vacated wins" if you're showing the 86-17 record without them? How hard is it to research these stats?

Looks like the site has corrected the Saban and Miles SEC championships, but still hasn't corrected Urban Meyer's conference championships. Meyer didn't win 3 SEC championships only 2 while at Florida.

& still hasn't corrected Saban's wins.

There is no SEC to Big 12 conversion factor. Thank God.

Kevin Sumlin is being very well paid... and he's worth it.

Texas A&M isn't competing with mere colleges for his services, we can out bid any schools for who we want.

In Coach Sumlin's case, he has already turned down USC to stay at Texas A&M... we are now successfully engaged in bidding for his services against NFL teams.

Exactly. His salary is 1% of the stadium he sold out next season. As a salesman that sounds like a reasonable commision, if not a deal for us.

Sorry yall are poor, but when you have a really nice car your don't get just any guy off the street to be your chauffeur. Or whatever poor person analogy makes more sense to you.

Corrected Nick Saban's wins to include the vacated wins since the journalist said they were included.

And added 1 ACC championship to Steve Spurrier for his 1989 Duke team.
