harbaugh is way overpaid, eff that dude

Vernonbrew22•59 months

Many of these schools have virtually no assistant coach pool money. CEO will get his due soon but his staff is very handsomely paid

luciouslou•59 months

6.6 for the purdue coach? That's insane.

Ignignot•59 months

hell go 9-4 again this year, and laugh all the way to the bank

WONTONGO•59 months

There are a lot more guys on that list that are overpaid than underpaid, though I would say Ed O falls in the latter. He'll get his.

Best deal for CEO is to give him a new 5 yr deal (for recruiting purposes) at the 4.5 M/yr with NO BUY OUT. Incentivize the deal such that win a SECCG = contract jumps to 6 M/yr, win a NC = 7 M/yr (could get lucky), win (2) NC = highest paid coach +$1.

Illinois (Big Ten) Lovie Smith ($4,000,000) $4,000,000 and now i'm like "ok we may need to give a bump"

Ignignot•59 months

Ignignot•59 months

Miganey•59 months

LATECHgradLSUfan•59 months

brett408•59 months

What in the shite is Purdue thinking? 8th highest paid coach... ridiculous

Solo Cam•59 months

Beat Bama and make the playoffs and he’ll get 6 years 45 million

Covingtontiger77•59 months

Cool. And if he wins an SEC and/or NC, he will get a big raise. If not, he will continue making close to what he is now. Pretty simple really.
