2M/year puts you at #50. No reason we can't get a great coach with what we can afford to pay.

Hard to believe Cincy shelled out $3,143,000 for Tuberville. Is it their better/richer/more generous boosters?

Tuberville is worth it IMO, but what I couldn't believe was Arkansas paying Brett Bielema $5 million plus.

The other thing it says is that there are a number of very good coaches who aren't earning $2 million and I have to believe that we could out bid a few people and not overpay at the same time. Almost any MAC coach and as we've discussed several times there are a few who look like they have a pretty good upside, and a half a dozen Big 10 coaches make between 1.7 (P's rate) and $2.

We should have burned PP at stake and taken Gus Malzahn at that price.

Lot's of surprises there. Who knew that Butch Jones was the 4th highest paid head coach at $4.8mm? Why is Mike Riley only making $1.4?

Is it fair to assume that Brian Kelley's salary is somehow different? No way he only makes $1.1mm.

Yup - look w/ a skepticism @ all private schools.

Read tweets today about both Brian Kelly's contract and Beliemas. In Beliemas case, it includes his buy out. I believe his real salary is closer to 3mil. With Kelly, he recently got an extension that makes that number listed inaccurate.
