re: SEC coaches salaries( March 1 2013)

Funny. When LSU hired Nick Saban away from Michigan State after the 1999 season, it was for $1.6 million a year, making him one of the top 5 paid coaches in the country and at least one of the top 2 or 3 paid coaches in the SEC. Today, that salary would be the lowest in the SEC, a full 20% lower than the current lowest.
