Consider this: When Saban took over at Alabama in 2007, he was one of four college football coaches pulling down more than $3 million per season, joining then Florida coach Urban Meyer, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and Texas' Mack Brown as the highest paid coaches in the game.
Fast forward to 2011 and five SEC coaches -- Saban, LSU's Les Miles, Arkansas' Bobby Petrino, Auburn's Gene Chizik and Florida's Will Muschamp -- eclipsed the $3 million mark.
That's not five in all of college football. That's five in the SEC alone.
Four other league coaches -- Georgia's Mark Richt, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, now ex-Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen -- earned more than $2.5 million in 2011.
While big ticket coaches dominate headlines, most striking, to me, at least, are the salaries of some of the league's sub-.500 coaches.
At Tennessee, Derek Dooley has a base salary of $2.1 million per season. Meanwhile, Joker Phillips is clocking $1.7 million per at basketball-crazed Kentucky.
Both enter their third seasons on the job with identical 11-14 records.

One of the reasons the SEC is so dominant. We pay huge money top to bottom for good coaching.

Dooley should work this year for free, IMO

He should also donate his hair to make afghans for the elderly.

You mean like afghan slaves for the elderly? Then I'm all for it. Finally, something productive from that horrible country.

Slavery is wrong brah.
An afghan is also a blanket that old people like to put on their knees when they're sitting.

That's a significant gap. Mullins has a chance this year to earn all that.

I don't get it either. I had high hopes and maybe they will be realized, but it seems for that money they could have pulled in someone proven as an HC. Still, he may end up earning that sort of money. *By the standards o elite college football.
