saw this on ESPN, my how times have changed. Miles makes more in 6 months than his mentor made in 10 years.

quote:

So it came as no surprise that Texas A&M made a big push to hire Schembechler away from Michigan to be their new head coach and athletic director. What was a bit of a surprise was just how impressive their contract offer was: 10 years and roughly $2.5 million... it was the largest coaching contract offer in the history of college sports at the time.


Obviously he turned the deal down and stayed at Michigan, he got a 40 percent raise in his per-game salary, going from $60,000 to $85,000. He also received the profits from a Domino's in Columbus


A&M would hire Sherill- 6 years $1.6 million

Its sick how much coaches are making these days compared to just a few years back. Hell, I remember the total package paid to Gerry Dinardo AFTER he proved he could win here was somewhere near $600,000 a year and that was considered a large contract. Our coordinators make more than that now.

Does anyone remember how much we paid Saban to lure him from Mich STate? I'm gonna try and find that out.
