I did not bother to read the article, but it is interesting that Kansas, TA&M, and Florida are getting out ahead of the game here, already paying severance packages to their current head coaches. Now that is planning ahead!

Mark Mangino was better than almost every coach on that list. What he managed to pull of at Kansas in football is fvcking amazing. He is waaaaaayyyyyyy damn better than kiffin, butch and dooley. Les will probably be alright there also. I would say Nebraska, ASU and ours are the worst ROI.

I'm surprised that Arkansas isn't on the list. Nutt's buyout, Bert's buyout, Morris' buyouts, and a couple of basketball coaches.

Nebraska saw some success with Bo Pelini. I think the guy averaged over 9 wins per season there.

Didn't his tenure there end with him on a hidden tape calling Nebraska's administration a bunch of pussies or something like that ?

Wonder which SEC schools would have been in the Top 10 from 1990-2005?

Remember when Charlie Weis started 19-6 with back to back BCS losses by 14+ and they made him one of the highest paid coaches?

Good times.
