I don't see how that's even possible with Freeze. He has literally improved our record every season as HC.

With the job Mullen has done at Mississippi State he deserves to making that much. Same goes with Mark Dantonio at Michigan State

I can definitely see where Bert makes the list

Their bosses decide if they're overpaid; not sure why a magazine cares.

But does that really warrant paying him $4.3 million?

That's for the fan to decide.

Phew. Not sure how we could brag about being so rich if we didn't make this list.

Yeah I don't understand Mullen being up there.
It took a few years to get going, but as a Gamecock under Spurrier, I can understand that. He has brought them out of the cellar and competitive in a division that may not have any cellar dwellers for the next few years.
Not only the success warrants his paycheck, but keeping poachers away is also necessary.

Should be top two.

Throw up that wall hoss, throw it up.

Mullen and Freeze had their teams ranked top 5 most of the year, Mullen had his at #1 for 5 weeks, both teams made one of the Big 6 selection bowls...I'd say their pay is warranted.

Sumlin makes 5 million?? Wow! He's ripping them off. Alabama makes a lot of these coaches hella money when they beat us.

Reeks of desperation does it not.

Kingsbury should be above both Freeze and Mullen, at the very least.
Don't really understand Dantonio being on there.
