For those saying he didn't deserve more, you may be correct, and you may not. Can you justify what Herman "deserved" or Taggart or most of the list? Nope. Saban and Dabo? Okay. The rest of that list? Nah, not really.
Also, remember that at the time he was hired, part of his pitch was literally that he would take less and expected LSU to use the savings on the HC position to beef up the analysts on staff and pay more for coordinators and assistants. So the OP saying he's a team player and using his salary as an example is correct. He put elevating the entire staff ahead of his own personal salary. That's a team player.

Taggert is a bum you’re 100% right about him. Herman inherited a 5 win team and has already doubled that win total and played for a conference championship in year two so his has been justified so far.

0 shows how much of a "team player" he is when things go south and he cannot throw people under the bus fast enough. See post-Troy. See the way he handled Canada throughout that season.
Everything you cite was his survival tactics just to get a job his resume said he didn't deserve.

"Deserve" has nothing to do with it. It's simple supply and demand. Herman and Taggart have higher salaries because their demand was higher than O's. Taggart was the HC at Oregon. Obviously Oregon wasn't looking to fire him after one season. But FSU wanted him, so that meant they had to make it financially appealable for him to leave OU.
Obviously LSU fans know Herman was in demand when UT hired him. Houston was willing to pay significant money to keep him and UT was ready to get into a bidding war with both LSU and Houston to hire him. Herman had all the leverage in the negotiations because he was in high demand. That demand allowed him to secure a big contract.
Ed had ZERO demand outside of LSU. Because of that he had ZERO leverage. If he wanted to be a HC it was either take was LSU is offering or not be a HC anywhere. You can't negotiate a higher salary if no one else is willing to pay you that salary
