Leach, Pittman, and Harsin are the only ones that make 5 million or less per year. Everyone else makes above 7.

We've got to continue working towards making a bigger commitment to salaries to keep up. The game is quickly changing in the west and we will be left behind if we don't adjust.
Makes me curious as to how much Leach's raise will be with his extension.
