I mean, other coaches in the division are getting paid more to do less with annual top 10 recruiting classes.

I thought that TAMU raise was even more absurd than this. Iowa is still paying ridiculous money for 7-5 or 9-3 Ferentz. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a raise, but pretty much 4.3 mill for 10 wins? Yes, I know it's Mississippi State, but that is part of the reason why it's a little crazy.

If a super experienced MSU team with a heisman level QB couldn't win the division last year with a bad Auburn, TAMU, and LSU, what happens the next two years, and three years? Going at 4.275 mill means high expectations. That's producing few -9 win seasons and regular 10+ wins seasons.

I think 3.75-85 would have been a much better number and depending on the next two years, an extension with something over 4 mill would be easier to swallow. I think they did this just to keep him here to be honest.
