Auburn forked up 6.7 mil/yr just so their coach wouldn't leave them for Arkansas

Laugh at Auburn all you want but who the frick would they be able to get who would be better? USC promoted Clay Helton a couple years ago, LSU had to settle for Coach O and Florida State hired Willie Taggart last year and all of those jobs are much more attractive than Auburn. Auburn is one bad hiring decision away from being another Tennessee. I would say they're very lucky to have a coach like Gus.
