This is absolutely nuts to me. We’re not that far from when elite coaches were making $3-$5 mill. and this guys has been on the verge of being fired two years in a row.
Unfortunately what "was" the market value doesn't really matter. The current market is dictating that coaches can command more. Couple that with the fact that there simply aren't any coaches that might be available that are objectively better than Gus's performance at Auburn thus far, and it's a pretty easy decision. Is it overpaying? Sure... But keep in mind that UF just paid Mullen 6M...

Not really, no.
You've just made him the third highest paid coach in football. Ahead of Meyer who has won 3 NCs and Swinney who is likely about to play in his third consecutive NC game.
