LOL at Ellis Johnson and Lorenzo Ward. I knew Ellis had mentally checked out when he took the USM job. He has been bouncing around and trying to rake in as many millions as possible in his final years before retirement, and people keep hiring him.

Cam Cameron is overpaid as well. I think Cameron is a good OC, but for some unknown reason they are trying to run a pro style offense with a spread option QB that can't pass.

Wommack out performed Collins this year. However, I think if Collins would, or would be allowed to, be more aggressive, we have the talent to be even better defensively. so frustrating.

Cam Cameron last year had Zach met (Titans' starting qb), Jeremy hill (bengals' starting rb), Jarvis Landry (Dolphins' starting wr), OBJ (Giants' starting wr), and Alfred blue (contributing for Texans). What OC woyldnt look good with those guys? Cam is highly overrated

I wonder if there is a list of the total amount spent on assistants by school. I wonder where we rank

Also of note, Texas Tech has a linebacker coach who makes $35,000- no wonder they suck on defense... Well, that and their DC was accused of passing around their signals to other coaches a few months ago.

I would pass around signals for some extra cash if I was only paid 35K to coach D-I football.

Clemson at #4 shocks me

When Brent Venables and Chad Morris are on staff, you're going to be forking over some money.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Michigan and Texas underachieving big time.

Add that 1/12 of their salaries for a bowl bonus and that's a nice chunk. But have to pay em to keep em.
