Just like having a large mortgage payment doesn't make you rich, paying your coach a lot doesn't make him good.
I'm fine with keeping Mullen at his current level and terms. No need to give him a raise or extension.

Does this lower our expectations for next year since we're not as high on the pay list? It lowers our national position level by 2 spots, since everybody is obsessed with paying a "top x" salary and not finishing at that level.
Bingo
Our head coach is paid quite well. He is paid at a level above his achievement level thus far. If we have extra money to throw at our coaches, it needs to be an extra 750k to our coordinators and assistants. Oh, perhaps a special teams coach also. Mullen is paid more than fairly. And besides, isn't he already due for two more years of automatic salary increases, results be damned? I think I recall Stricklin announcing a four year contract extension that over the life of the contract was going to push DM near the 3million mark as an average. Maybe someone smarter than me can remember or investigate the details of that contract. Seems as if Dan should be in year 2 of that 4 year agreement.

Can't speak on terms, but I think you're right. Staggered contracts seem to be the most popular now. Brees made $40m last year, but his average over 5 years is $20m/yr.
