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.

Ignignot•54 months

yeah those schools are stupid

Ignignot•54 months

but if we get in playoff he'll get bumped up to 5.5 im sure

oneg8rh8r•54 months

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.

WONTONGO•54 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.

Buckeye Jeaux•54 months

Wonder how many days a week Jimbo wakes up just laughin'?

Ignignot•54 months

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

eddieray•54 months

Stirring the pot

luciouslou•54 months

6.6 for the purdue coach? That's insane.

alumni95•54 months

EXACTLY what I came to post. Brees is supplementing Brohm’s pay?

Vernonbrew22•54 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

Ignignot•54 months

harbaugh is way overpaid, eff that dude
