Crazy A&M and Arky are that high on the list. Not shocked to see Freezus as number 1 though.
They have Mullen at 87th and his compensation is listed at $5mill. Did I miss something on his salary?
Ole Hugh isn't on the hot seat. He's on the ejection seat!!!!!!
Just about any other school would have already fired him.
Saban isn't last so I don't know how accurate that is. He isn't even next to last. Dabo is last but I can see that. Saban doesn't win another title within the next 3 years and the natives will get restless.
It's going to be curious to see how long coaching stays this way, where just being middle of the pack gets you fired after four or five years. Eventually, you're going to run out of up and comers to hire and you're going to see these coaches start getting recycled into major Power 5 jobs, I guess sort of like NFL coaches already do. Or ADs will start saying that while they're not happy with 8-5 (4-4), they're not going to fire that coach just to hire a coach from a smaller conference with a two year track record or a coach that was fired from his previous job for consistently going 8-5 (4-4).
On another note:
We beat A&M this year too and Sumlin is gone. And Bert may be gone with a 7-5 record and a loss to us too.
That's really disturbing if it's filtered down to high school.
In college at least, coaches are paid to win, period, with the only qualification pretty much being you have to win while preventing Baylor or Penn State from happening. I can understand the fan base at A&M saying I want to win a championship and I don't care nearly as much about the difference between winning 0 games and 10 games as I do about the difference between winning 10 games and winning a championship. Mike Sumlin is just a pretty good coach that is going to average 8-10 wins a year, and I'd just as soon roll the dice on hiring a losing coach for the very small chance we might get lucky and get a championship coach. I'm not sure I'd agree with that, but I can at least understand it.
But in high school, coaches aren't (or at least shouldn't be) just paid to win. How they influence the kids is hugely important, so if you've got a pretty good high school coach that is good enough to give the kids a chance to win some games but not good enough to win a championship, but generally helps kids leave the program better than when they entered, you don't just blow that up because you're not getting championships. Just crazy.
Not only that he's now 8th in the country in pay. We have a Top 10 paid coach without a Top 10 return. http://www.coacheshotseat.com/CFBCoachesSalaries.htm
Some of those guys on that list could probably make more money as a assistant coach in SEC.
Also Mullen is making some Jack.
