$12 million huh? Let's review top salaries. I didn't plan on making this long of a list, but I thought it was important to make it long enough to include Gundy and Campbell. These two are quality coaches at the lower end of the salary range for Power 5. My question is how this will affect other coaches that have actually done more, ahem Saban/Swinney. Assistant coaches have seen an increase already, will there be more? And what does this mean for NFL coaches. One more question, how long will it take for all of these coaches and their agents to be ringing the coffer's doorbell?

1. Nick Saban, Alabama -- $9.753 million
2. Ed Orgeron, LSU -- $9.012 million
3. Dabo Swinney, Clemson -- $9.508 million
4. David Shaw, Stanford -- $8.924 million
5. Lincoln Riley, Okla -- $7.672 million * Our new #1
6. Dan Mullen, Florida -- $7.57 million
7. Jimbo Fisher, Texas AM -- $7.5 million
8. Kirby Smart, Georgia -- $7.133 million
9. James Franklin, Penn St-- $7 million
10. Ryan Day, Ohio State -- $6.614 million
11 Gary Patterson, TCU -- $6.103 million
12 Pat Fitzgerald, NW -- $5.748 million
13 Mel Tucker, Michigan St- - $5.632 million
14 Chip Kelly, UCLA -- $5.6 million
15 Steve Sarkisian, Texas -- $5.45 million
16 Kyle Whittingham, Utah -- $5.2 million
17 Scott Frost, Nebraska -- $5 million
18 Kirk Ferentz, Iowa -- $5 million
19 Clay Helton, USC -- $4.813 million
20 Pat Narduzzi, Pitt -- $4.816 million
21 Mario Cristobal, Oregon - $4.6 million
22 Mike Gundy, Okla St-- $4.375 million
23 Justin Fuente, VA Tech - $4.25 million
24 Bronco Mendenhall, VA -- $4.25 million
25 Mike Norvell, Florida St-- $4.25 million
26 Matt Campbell, Iowa St -- $4 million

Interesting that Cristobal is so low given what he has done… maybe Miami could pry him away

paying a coach with no National titles on his resume 30% more than Saban is crazy I hope 12 million isn’t the actual number

Gundy (really, one of my favorites) should get a big raise.

What's the justification or the incentive now for Riley? CFB salaries are ridiculous. No national titles, no playoff wins but a couple of playoff beatdowns but to his credit he does have some conference championships.
 
Don't hold your breath on Texas winning anything in the $ec. Our non revenue sports are great but how long do they last with the football stadium 1/4 full? That KSU game should have been an eye opener for cdc. The attendance was abysmal.

I would add that basketball attendance used to be 13-16k when Barnes was coach. Now it's somewhere at 2k-4k butts in the seats. Recovering from bad football will be extremely damaging to the bottom line. How does this kind of malpractice occur?

Easily. That's how it occurs. Really fvcking easily.

When you hire an absolute pair of clown shoes in Steve Patterson-----he has SO MUCH POWER that with simply a facial expression he altered the course of our athletic program. Steve had NEVER weilded a weapon so powerful and like a 7 year old that finds daddy's gun, Steve started popping off rounds through the windows and roof. And he did it SO effectively (not because of him, but because of the power of the program) that he completely fvcked it up before he, or our BOR realized it.

Here's an analogy that lends perspective.

Texas athletic department under Delos Dodds started out like the Titanic. Huge. Expensive. Slow to maneuver, but man did she have some horsepower below deck.
Dodds got that horsepower cranked up to 125%. Now Texas athletics turned like the Titanic too. Took a little time to get her turned one way or another--- but Dodds fixed that. He had the Titanic handling as nimble as a jet ski. Literally with just a suggestion of a policy change in an email-- the entire support staff apparatus was already in motion preparing to pounce on DeLoss's new directive. They were going to have it knocked out, implemented and in force within the week. It was quite impressive.


Then along comes ol' fvck knuckles Patterson. He sees this Titanic jetski, instead of seeing what it was--- a Titanic that handled like a jet ski.

Those two things are similar but different-- and not understanding that-- Dr Dipsh!t decides he's going to take this puppy out for a joy ride.
"Let's see what she can do..." the incompetently arrogant cvnt-rag thought to himself.

And in less than a month, his ideas right out of Mad magazine and with yackity sax playing in the background-- managed to drive the Titanic into the bridge, through the docks and beached that bitch right next to a recently melted down nuclear facility.

"Sorry folks. Ship's closed. Longhorn out front shoulda told ya." (We'll see who got that reference).

So in one month Patterson had wrecked what it took Deloss 30 years to build. They spent the next 20 months trying to undo what this fvcking clattering baboon did-- and try as they might, even the most powerful athletic department in the history of mankind couldn't un-fvck the Steve Patterson level of fvckery.


So ya. That's how easy it is to fvck up a dynasty. When you hire someone who should have spent his career teaching lawyers how to successfully chase ambulances, but instead, because the Portland Trailblazers were scraping the bottom of the barrel for legal counsel, we get this anal cold sore as our AD.
