Since Auburn hired Gus in 2013, he has received a little over $34m in salary (as of 12/2019).

During that same time period, Gus has compiled a 34-24 SEC record (including both SEC title appearances).

This dude has collected almost precisely $1m per conference win at Auburn.

For comparison... During the same time period, Saban is 55-6 in SEC play (SEC title appearances & UGA Natty included) with 4 SEC titles and 2 National Championships. He was paid roughly $55m over this time period. Also nearly $1m per SEC win.

(The salary numbers probably aren't exact, I pulled from USA Today records. I also did not calculate in bonuses, etc.)

When comparing production to salary, Gus and Saban both are earning $1m a win. Gus just has far fewer wins. Our return on investment sucks with Gus.

For clarification on my stance, I think we should not pay Gus anymore.

It looks like it is the exact same to me, we just aren't investing as much.

You could also say we are paying Gustav $17 million per SEC Western Division titles. or $34 million per SEC champioships, and NC game/CFP appearances.

Bama is paying Saban $13.75 million per SEC West titles, SEC Championships, and NC game/CFP appearances.

Who appears to be the better bargain?

Are we really comparing to Saban? Arguably the best coach ever in cfb?

I’m not a crazy Gus fan but it is what it is. It’s not chiz it’s not modern day tubs. He has also given 2 million of his salary to the new football complex
