re: Calipari makes more than double what the #3 highest paid coach in America makes

Coaches were not making that back when Nolan was coaching...without looking, I bet Nolan was making about the same amount as Pitino during that time. If Nolan was coaching today with that resume, he would easily be paid over $6 million/year.

I agree.

$9.28M still seems like a lot, though. I would think Coach K makes a lot because he's been at Duke forever and he at least has 2 national titles over the last 10 years. I would expect 3 or 4 for that type of money, even though I realize that's not reasonable. It's just that Saban IS doing the unreasonable in football and still makes less.
