A GM's salary at $1.2m is eye-watering as well

Over/under he makes it through three more years? I say he’s gone before he finishes year three.

College sports are completely unrecognizable



The head coach at ALABAMA can now parlay a 35 point loss to INDIANA into $13m per annum.


20 years ago he’d have been fired on the spot

How does this compare with NFL HC salaries?

Yeah except nobody cares because that's only true because Lane Kiffin opted to coach at LSU instead of beating Tulane again

A Texas fan claiming someone else overspent is laughable

Cig and Smart make sense. Day becomes rational because of the market

LSU and Alabama are overpaying when neither coach has a championship. Half of Alabama's fan base is probably livid

I'm not livid, this crew just better live up to the expectations that come with that hefty salary.

i always though deboer would leave on his own. either for the nfl or another college job. just seems like a really odd fit.
