To keep him from following Lane.
Pete is as good of a DC has the program he’s coaching. Mid-level with a few high points but never elite.

It was pretty elite last year, something like #4 in FEI rankings.

Not so much this year, fell to the 50's.

34th highest paid coach in the country. And it’s 6.8 million. He is also making less than Texas is paying Arch. The rant is out of touch with modern coaching salaries it seems.


Why is the most prestigious football program with the best head coach only paying 34th? Need a dollar?

The real question is why is LSU paying a guy that has only won the CUSA title 13M?

Supply and demand.

Other major programs were pursuing Kiffin and were willing to pay that amount.

6.8M minus 2.6M he was making as DC. So really just paying him 4M more to be the HC. New DC and OC are making 2M combined. So overall Ole Miss is saving like $10M+ on coaching salaries.

The best coaches will discount their price to coach for the best programs
