Sumlin lost 58-0 to Alabama. 1st year qb (post manziel). nobody says anything.
Miles loses in OT to Alabama. 1st year qb (post mettenb). everyone wants to fire him.

Whos the guy wearing #6?????????????

rzd30•113 months

As much as people will complain about this fact. Imagine what fans of Iowa, A&M, and even Michigan State to a certain extent are feeling.

partywiththelombardi•113 months

out of the 10

only 5 have national titles

only 3 of those were achieved with the team they currently coach

None of them deserve this kind of money.

JohnZeroQ•113 months

What happened to the picture with the guy wearing #6??????

Charlie Strong isn't exactly new to the scene. At least he's won a BCS game. Sumlin's the one that has me scratching my head.

That bama game was a soul crushing loss yes, but I honestly think that more people wanted him fired after the arkansas debacle last week.

What has Kirk Ferentz done to deserve 4 million a year?

TigaGoo4TBlew•113 months

wow! Charlie Strong? guess that was a hope and a prayer....Vandy Franklin is worth 1.75 tops

Pianoman•113 months

That's Michigan STATE, not Michigan.

TaderSalad•113 months

so michigan would be a payraise... interdesting

That never crossed my mind. I didn't even know James Franklin is black. It struck me because of their newness to the scene, not being as established as the other coaches.

TigerFanatic99•113 months

some of those stick out as just odd. Penn State, Texas, and TAMU in particular. I can at least understand the rest due to how long they have been there.

napville2000•113 months

Because they are black?

tigerbait1.6•113 months

he dont deserve it
