I concede your point. But what I was really referring to was coaching ability. Seems like super-wealthy failed coaches are very common these days.

Alabama reveals salary for intern Butch Jones
https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/alabama-reveals-salary-intern-butch-jones/
Now we know what Alabama pays its interns. According to Blake Toppmeyer of USA TODAY, Jones will be paid $35,000 by the Crimson Tide. This information comes following a records request from USA TODAY.
The money Tennessee owes Jones for firing him, over $8 million, will still need to be paid by the school. His buyout at Tennessee will be mitigated from his earnings at Alabama. Tennessee has until early 2021 to pay Jones the full amount it owes him.
Wow, paywise, talk about going from the penthouse to the outhouse!
You don’t understand..every dollar he makes from Alabama is a dollar less that UT has to pay him, so be having such a small salary, he (and Bama) are actually screwing UT more.
Now McElShytstain didn’t have that offset clause...we pay him REGARDLESS of how much he makes elsewhere. Just brilliant by our crack contracts staff and the best AD in history.
They probably assume he won't be there after 2 years. I can't imagine he won't be looking for a head coaching position, or at least a move up as DC. So they get him cheap for the portion of the contract they pay, but have language that it goes up for the back half. Basically UF subsidizes their DC hire and allows them to get off cheap.Randy Shannon really stuck it to us w/ this. He's getting $240K as the DC for UCF....for 2 years. Then his salary jumps to $1 million. And how the hell is UCF paying $1 million for their DC? They only paid Frost around $1.7 million.
