Alabama's Nick Saban and Clemson's Dabo Swinney may get more money thanks to new level of high-dollar coaching deals

In "least surprising news of the week":

New agreements totaling over $375 million have rocketed salaries for the top head coaches in the Football Bowl Subdivision into a new stratosphere, led by the first nine-figure contract for a public-school coach in LSU hire Brian Kelly.

Since September, four coaches at public universities — Kelly, Michigan State's Mel Tucker, Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher and Penn State's James Franklin — have signed 10-year deals that rank among the largest in college football history in terms of total value, including new deals and contract extensions.

I was thinking how crazy it is that college HC salaries are now at the level of those in the NFL. Apparently that won't last for long.

Time for Franklin to renegotiate.

Just curious, doesn’t Saban have a clause written into his contract that states “no college coach can earn more than him”. I vaguely remember in an interview where he was asked about having this entered in his contract.

Coaches should be paid by the win, but with deducts for bad player behavior or poor grades.

Simple, and fair.
