Kentucky?

Hell yes, Kentucky.

1. Mark Stoops is tied for 15th in salary at $6,000,000...with Harbaugh, Harsin, and Kelly.

2. Kentucky has a $165,000,000 football facility that's only two years old.

3. Stoops is currently ranked at only #91 on coacheshotseat.com. His fan base loves him, in spite of these records:

2013: 2-10
2014: 5-7
2015: 5-7
2016: 7-6
2017: 7-6
2018: 10-3
2019: 8-5
2020: 5-6

At Kentucky a coach can make a shite ton of money, be perennially mediocre with an occasional good year, and be beloved by his fan base. Why the hell wouldn't that be a top job for almost any coach?

edit: sorry, DrRC...I started typing before I saw your post. Coacheshotseat lists his salary at $6M.

And don't just downvote. Take a moment and make a case why that isn't a damn good job for 90% of the coaches in this country.
