List Gus' accomplishments & Ed O's. There's probably a few differences and reasons why he's more valuable. Not saying it isn't a lot of money, but dumb thread is dumb.

Gus is worth the money, IMO. Right now there appear to be three proven coaches in the SEC: Saban, Kirby, and Gus.

These are the only three coaches with SEC Titles.

SEC Championships for Current SEC Coaches:

5- Saban
1- Smart
1- Malzahn

SEC Division Championships for Current SEC Coaches:
6- Saban
2- Malzahn
1- Smart

At this point, if a coach can earn you an SEC Championship, 2 SEC West Championships, and four Top 25 finishes in 5 seasons, then he's worth whatever sum of money you throw at him. Is he worth $7.4 per season?.... The queestion is really "Is $7.4 million per season worth it to not have to go out and hire an unproven coach who might be just as bad as the other 11 coaches in the league who can't win championships?" If the question is asked that way, then the answer is yes, its well worth it.

Gus at Auburn = 45-21 (68.1%), 25-15 (62.5%) SEC
Ed O at LSU = 15-5 (75.0%), 10-4 (71.4%) SEC

Gus does have a conference title, from 5 years ago. Ed O holds the H2H 1-0, though

Auburn gave Gus $7.4 million for beating Alabama twice, if I'm not mistaken no other current SEC coach has done that once. National championship appearance. Two SEC championship appearances. 2 NY6 appearances. In 5 years, during one of the greatest dynasties, which happens to be in-state rival.

And a national title ring as an assistant/coordinator. Has Ed O ever played in a conference championship game?

I'm not a Gus lover, but peel back the onion a tad more.

Gus didnt lose to Sunbelt team this season. Probably the reason for the raise.

How much do you think LSU would give a coach who finally beats Alabama? I bet its more than $7.4
