First, here are the highest paid coaches in order along with their records over the past 5 seasons:

1. Saban - 55-8
2. Dantonio - 50-14
3. Stoops - 50-13
4. Sumlin - 44-18 (2 seasons at Houston)
5. Strong - 43-20 (4 seasons at Louisville)
6. Meyer - 54-9 (2 seasons at Florida
7. Miles - 51-13
8. Franklin - 30-19 (4 seasons total. 3 at Vandy)
9. Ferentz - 34-27
10. Spurrier - 47-16

Secondly, here are the Top 10 Highest Paid Coaches Re-ranked by Winning %:
1. Saban - 87%
2. Meyer - 86%
3. Miles - 80%
4. Stoops - 79%
5. Dantonio - 78%
6. Spurrier - 75%
7. Sumlin - 71%
8. Strong - 68%
9. Franklin - 61%
10. Ferentz - 56%

Seems like we are getting Miles at a bargain. 7th highest paid coach, but 3rd in terms of winning percentage over past 5 seasons.

Miles has won 70% of his games since 1/9/12

or less than 3 coaches in his own division in the SEC west

This totally discounts seasons in which coaches had to take over a losing program and rebuild. Miles didn't have to do that.

Les and Sumlin actually have the same record over the last three years

27-10

How many losses out of conference and out of division? SEC west has been stacked for 4 years in case you missed it

so what you are trying to say is there is nothing Miles could ever do to get fired?

Strong took over two in rebuilding Louisville and Texas.

Spurrier has rebuilt USCe and that is a place much harder to win than at LSU.

Dantonio rebuilt MSU and just got paid.

Franklin was coaching at Vandy and took over a team suffering from probation and sanctions.

But yeah, most of them didn't have to do that right?

Also ignore that most of these guys just got paid, and the coaches that are paid less than the top 10 that have outperformed Miles like Fisher and Malzahn.

Did Bama backing in in 2011 cheapen their title? Or their loss in mid November in 2012?

Or is "backing in" something only Les Miles did?
