Help settle a bet...CFB

My hypothetical...
XYZ college football program has been in no man's land for a decade. They make a HC hire and he wins a NC in four years.
He's clearly a transcendent type coach.
He's young, energetic, he is the hottest HC in CFB.
It's clear he is going to compete for NC's at this university for years to come.
It's time for the University to step to the plate, give him a long term contract to keep him because its clear he wants to stay.
Here's the question....how many schools in the country COULD AND WOULD pay him 4-5mm a year to be their long term coach.
I say there's 20-25 schools that would write that check....
Including 1/2 the SEC, all the usual suspects (see below) and throw in Michigan, Nebraska, A&M, PSU, FSU, Miami, OU, Oregon...etc
He says there's maybe 3-4 including UT, Bama, tOSU, and maybe ND or USC.
What say you?

You're right, and he's wrong.

i'd bet more than half the SEC would. shite, i think more than half of SEC coaches already make in that range.
eta: 4 currently in the SEC alone
1. Nick Saban, Alabama – $5,545,852
3. Bret Bielema, Arkansas – $5,158,863
4. Butch Jones, Tennessee — $4,860,000
7. Les Miles, LSU – $4,459,363

You're absolutely right.
If he's winning, and winning NCs, a ton of schools could find the cash to pay him. 20-25 might even be low. Hell most of the SEC probably could, instead of half.

You're both wrong bc it is way more than 20-25

Iowa is paying 3.65 million a year to a coach that's not even that good. You are much closer to the truth, probably even more.

I would be surprised if any current BCS school would let a NC winning coach go for the 4-5 mil range

You win.

There are maybe 20 programs that could afford that much and at least half already have a coach they wouldn't get rid of. His # is closer than yours.

You think Bama and LSU would fire their head coaches for this guy? Also, Arkansas wouldn't fire Bielema yet and Tennessee may not even be ready to move on yet.

Right this second, I would say that your count is high.
In a year or two, you will be accurate, IMO. 4M+ is nothing to sneeze at.

He's definitely low.
ETA: I misread your question. Your are correct. If the team writing the check is the team that is trying to keep the coach, then your estimate is accurate, IMO.
I think there are a lot of teams who would pay more to keep their coach than they would to bring someone else in.
