re: How did we lose 3 games in 2001 with a team loaded with nfl players?

What isn't fair is the constant bull shite about LSU having the highest paid staff. They may have two of the highest paid assistants, but not the entire football staff. A lot more goes into a program other than a few assistant coaches. People just can't see that.

According to USA Today, LSU's staff is collectively the highest paid in the NCAA. Bama is second, but their bonuses do appear to be better overall than LSU's. The way Bama's staff produces, their bonuses have been earned.

You can quibble over how each team pays its assistants to get to its base number, but Bama and LSU are the only schools that paid assistants a combined total of more than $5 million in 2014. You may not like what people have to say about LSU's coaching staff, but it ain't bullshite that their salaries are pretty much even with Bama's, and better than everyone else.

Total staff salaries are in the far right column. Bonus money is one slot to the left of that.
