I laugh every time I hear someone say this.

He's worth fricking 15 easy.

I don't have a theoretical problem with a coach making 10 million a year if he wins at that level. What bothers me is the mediocre coaches being given remotely comparable salaries. Winning 7 or 8 games a year is not remotely comparable to winning 11 or 12 games a year and does not merit a salary that is say 60% of the top earners.

The buyouts are also an issue. If you want better compensation as a coach right now the tradeoffs are losses in stability and should also be a minimal payoff to get out of a contract. I find it weird that a lot of people have a "its just money" response to this issue. It is your school's money and they should be more careful with it than they are.

If Saban leaves Bama I could EASILY see LSU winning 3 in a row!
