Who is making up shite?
Mack Brown WAS paid $5 million a year to RUN that program into the ground.
Charlie Strong IS being paid $5 million a year to barely make a bowl (and lose it badly).
Bob Stoops is making more than either to lose to Sumlin and run that program into the ground.
In our region we are paying market rates. Period. Heck at least we got a bowl win for our money.
Sorry you can't understand basic economics.
the market is college football as a whole, not the state of texas and oklahoma. coaches are not paid by regional standards. not how it works, sorry.

Yes you did.
Mizzou has a history of losing to runner-ups. USCe can verify.

Sumlin is sitting on a bowl winning streak like we haven't seen. The two coaches before him bottomed out at 4 wins, we aren't going to run off a guy on a bowl streak.
thats kinda sad

if Sumlin ever got second place in the West ya'll would rename your fricking stadium after him.

Again, it gets a reaction.
Not even close to the same type reaction folks look for when they bring up Sumlin being overpaid. That's to see yall deflect, puff your chest out, justify, etc
idk what reaction you look for when constantly bringing up Texas, but the reaction you get from me and most others seems to be a negative for aggy. Just saying.
Yall come across as a needy ex who can't let go even when the breakup was 3 years ago. You need some new pussy.

Is it possible to be signed into two accounts at the same time?

You say that, and then Texas gave Charlie $5 million a year from the start.
You can't tell me they don't do that if Sumlin was making less.

Even at a high school level football in Texas is a bunch of Veblen goods.
i was kinda hoping you would've gotten it by now but i guess i'll explain it to you.
there's a thing called demand. its why Michigan paid over 5 million for Harbaugh. it has nothing to do with this imaginary "market value" that you've pulled out of your arse.
some teams overvalue the demand....like A&M. others undervalue it...like FSU
now call your high school economics teacher and tell him/her that they've failed miserably

But that is how it works.
Why doesn't every big program just offer the Nick Saban's of the world $10 million a year to come coach for them? Wouldn't USC, Penn St., Michigan, etc. EASILY make back that $10 million a year on the level of success Nick would have/bring?
The answer is because for MOST of the country the idea of running up coaching salaries that high is distasteful. They don't want other ADs giving them crap for running up the cost for everyone.
Except here in Texas. Texans don't get a shite. A&M overpays Bama's coach to take him in the 00's, and Texas was willing to pay the $10 million a year to steal Bama's coach this decade. The social pressure that keeps down coaching salaries everywhere else isn't as strong here.
I mean really, what determines what a coach should make? Why should the CEO (which is what they are) of a company worth billions and that has revenue in over a hundred million a year be locked in only making less than $10 million a year. In 2013 the average America CEO salary is over $11 million a year. Coaches are underpaid nationally. In Texas we don't ignore that fact, we ignore other ADs who are trying to collude to keep that rate down.

in Louisiana a real championship is actually a real championship. Like, you win a bunch of games and then win a championship. They actually give an award for this one. It did look like this.

If I used them for EVERY argument I would agree, but for now I use them only as an excuse for Sumlin's pay.
Fine if you think it is that bad going forward I will focus on Stoop's pay (which again is more than Sumlin).

Only winning 12 games a season and only winning the SEC and making the playoffs every other year will indeed suck, but I think we'll figure out a way to survive.

Well Stoops has earned his pay IMO. Been there a long time, record is 168-44, been to what, 4 National Titles?

Everything I posted in that post was true. Even if there isn't such a thing as the "Texas coaching market" there is collusion among ADs to keep salaries down and for some reason Texas ADs don't seem to care.
All true. I am just playing fast and loose with the facts that come from that truth.

Well, this just totally destroys the stereotype of Bama fans as arrogant ignoramuses!
Great job!
Great job!
