The biggest surprise to me is that we pay him that much when no one else would even consider stealing him away for that much.
Everyone knows no major football school would come for O. Therefore there's no need to give him huge raises or extensions when he's zero threat to leave. We already got tied down with the massive buyout for Miles - we don't need to do that for O. (Yes, I realize the buyout was paid by private money, but at some point those private donors will stop paying for our AD's stupidity).
And yes, the NC was spectacular and O gets credit for that. But I'm afraid that was less about O's masterful coaching and more about being a perfect storm of Burrow and Brady, both of whom are gone.

That is kinda dumb. if we refuse to pay our head coaches money for winning, how are we ever going to attract anyone.
is Ed O over paid? yes. does anyone else want him? no. Now before the NC we were justified in not paying him, but once he won that we had to pay up.

So no credit is given for having the guts to make some risky strategic decisions like bringing in a 3rd string, never saw the field, coming off an injury QB or an NFL, barely above gopher analyst to help re-write your offensive system. I think people forget how bold those moves were at the time. Those are the big decisions that the head guy makes and gets paid for, vs bring a glorified coordinator that got lucky in a big game with a 3rd string QB against an injury depleted defense in a playoff game and later cries on the sidelines.
