Coach Salaries

[CougarArcher]

What do these coaches do with their salaries? Don made roughly 21.4 million during his tenure at Mississippi State University. Living in Starkville, his home couldn't have cost over 1.5-2 million. What is done with the rest of the money? Vehicles cant cost that much. Where does it go? What is it used for?

I know you have to save for retirement, but that much? the interest alone on that much would allow someone to live very comfortably for the rest of their lives. Yet, they are jumping around from school to school with whoever will pay them just a little more money. Why would you leave MSU with the gig he had.... other than him thinking that he has a better chance of winning a national title as a head coach.

I just think that coaching salaries are ridiculous. I say there needs to be a salary cap for all NCAA schools coaches.

I’m sure guys like that are feeding $ to close friends and family to ups their quality of life. I’m sure a lot of it is invested and saved so that your family is set up for generations to come.

For all intents and purposes, he's guaranteed to walk with at least $30mil at Florida. $36 mil in the 6 yr contract with $12 mil buyout if fired.

He's going to get to lose to Kirby twice with Fromm. He's probably not going to get to lose to them 3 times with Fromm and then Fields.

Shiny things for his wife and the kinda vacations he likely takes ain't cheap.

What I wonder is how much of his stuff is put on an expense account. Is it like being the president where you make $400k and have a personal chef and butler, but still have to pay for food and dry cleaning? If so, then he probably spends a good chunk of his money entertaining boosters and going to non-official events he's expected to go to (e.g. golf tournaments). He probably has plenty leftover after all that, but it would eat most of our incomes alive.
