Interesting that the 2nd highest paid coach in the SEC is only 2 games over .500 in conference play. Also interesting that 6 coaches are under .500 in conference play.
A couple of random thoughts:
Other than Saban, Georgia no doubt is getting the most for their money.
Dan Mullen is under .500 in SEC play, but after this year, wonder if Ms State will increase his salary. I saw the other day where his name was linked to Michigan.
There are several schools that recently upped their HC's salaries/extended contracts (bolded below)
These numbers are as of 12/10
Nick Saban — $7.1 million 50-11 (just at Bama)
Kevin Sumlin — $5 million 13-11
Les Miles — $4.3 million 56-24
Hugh Freeze — $4 million 11-13
Steve Spurrier — $4 million 44-36 (just at SC)
Gus Malzahn — $3.8 million 11-5
Butch Jones — $3.6 million 5-11
Mark Stoops — $3.6 million 2-14
Jim McElwain— $3.5 million
Gary Pinkel — $3.4 million 63-50 (16-8 since joining SEC)
Mark Richt — $3.3 million 78-34
Bret Bielema — $3.2 million 2-14
Dan Mullen — $3 million 22-26
Derek Mason — Private 0-8

Didn't realize we were paying Sumlin so much more than the rest of y'all are paying your coaches. I guess what constitutes "a lot of money" is relative. We didn't think that was a lot.

And they said we were crazy for paying Saban $4 mil in 2007.

Unless you're responsible for payroll (or the money comes from your coffers/support), why does anyone care what another person earns?
This thread comes up repeatedly, and it reeks of ... insecurity? Collectivism?
I just think it's odd.
Never do I sit around, thinking about how [LSU, Ark, Florida] compensates their employees.
Not your circus, not your monkeys.

Freeze is at $4.3 for next year. Was at $3 before Florida came rolling into to town.
Regardless, most coaches will be receiving raises before too long. That huge boost in revenue from the SEC Network has to go somewhere.

It appears we are getting pretty good bang for our buck with Richt.

Freeze is worth every penny and anyone who laughs at that is a moron.

I'd say there is some doubt. Miles has a slightly better winning percentage than M.R., coming in a distant second to Saban's remarkable 82% with 70%. Throw in the extra titles and I'd say Miles is right there with Richt for 2nd place in the SEC as for as dollar value. If you want to nitpick, Miles and Richt both achieve more wins per dollar spent than Nick. But Nick is worth every penny IMO.

How is that interesting? Sec coaches combined conference win % is .500 every year.
