With buy outs & bonuses, the year to year rankings aren't always reflective. Last year Bret Bielema compensation was over $5.1 million, he could have earned another 700K, which would have put him in first place (he was behind Saban & Brown) but he didn't win a conference game.

Last year's list

4 mil is still a lot of coin.

Brady Hoke's salary is much more laughable

Dantonio got a nice payraise, despite no agent. thought it was close to 4M, though.

Eta: 3.7M

No he isn't. A list with ties would look like this:

1.
2.
2.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
10.
10.
10.
10.
10.
16.
17.

etc.

But I guess you could say his salary is the 8th highest instead of saying he's the 10th highest paid coach.

Given how FSU runs athletics, he is probably the state's highest paid employee too like Bowden was for years.

He has exactly 9 people in front of him and he is then tied with a few. What else would he be tied for?
