What is truely your point?
These coaches deserve the money they get for many reasons, but the only reason that matters is that UNL was willing to pay that amount. Do you really blame them for taking it? The other reason that is that if you do a job that few others can, the pay is more. If you do a job that the masses could do you will make less. Not many people are capable of actually coaching in D1... that is why the pay for them is where it is at. Don't like what he is getting paid... how about looking at the Notre Dame situation. Their coach gets paid 2-3 times as much. It's all relative!
What is it that you do? Are you perferct at work evryday? Can you motivate every employee that works for you? Especially young men in their late teens early twenty's. Have you ever been fired immediately for making a mistake or were you given another chance to get it right.
IMO thinking of what he makes is dumb. The other poster is correct... fire him and you will pay the next guy more. Do you know if the new coach would make it?
