re: LSU's Les Miles to be paid $4.3 million in 2013

I am not saying I'm opposed or against the raise, but you can't compare him to Mack Brown. Texas has money plain and simple. If they want to pay that much for a mediocre coach, have at it. It would be different if all this money was coming from one boss (like the NCAA)to pay all these coaches... then yea, you can compare salaries. However each school is responsible to pay their own coach what they think he deserves, based on their cashflow, instead of comparing to other coaches. Those other schools may actually have more money to do so. My question would be, is it in the programs best interest to pay him this much?..esp with a huge buyout. He's not going to make Mack Brown money unless he is coaching Texas.
