Doesn't McElwain have two NC rings?


As you said, not as a Head Coach... but I beleive he does as a coordinator. And McElwain is going to be paid 3.5M so he he will be $350,000 less than Mulzahn was last year, the year after getting an extension for going to the National Title game..

I would like to add that we would would like to be the BEST in the SEC. We have to pay the BEST salary. That is is the way it works in the rest of the world. The top lawyers make the best money, the top doctors make the best money, etc... Foley is trying to defy the laws of nature. He trying to pull of the Priceline strategy in college football. I could say the same about our facilities. Just make everything the best and we will get the best.

Don't the best doctors and best lawyers prove they are the best before they are paid as the best?

Again, that's the point, hiring the best, not just paying a huge amount for the sake of paying a huge amount (see Chimp).

We hired a guy who couldn't win the Mtn West. Do we really think he, along with a couple of the worst coordinators in the SEC, are going to do better against the best teams and staffs in the SEC?

I can get the 64 GB iPhone 6 for $299, but according to the logic in this thread, I should pay twice that just because I think it's the best available phone?

You liked Muschamp when he was hired. Your opinion on this staff is null and void.

Did law ever say who he wanted to be hired as our HC this year? I only remember him bashing every option that came up.

He went 10-2 with a core of players that went 3-9 the year before he got there and 4-8 in his first season. You saw how badly they performed in the bowl game after he left. I don't think that's coincidence.

Top five coaches as Pay:

Nick Saban 7.16
Mark Dantonio 5.63
Bob Stoops 5.05
Kevin Sumlin 5.00
Charlie Strong 5.00

Other than Saban, did the other four perform as good as they were paid?

Sorry I didn't immediately recognize him as a liar when he promised a multiple, balanced offense. By 2012, however, I did however what a loser he was and would be, when MOST of you thought we had a champion... and I took an incredible amount of shiiiit for it.

You can't get it for that. And a better analogy would be buying an chIphone 4 for $200 (and buying out our old contract for an exhorbitant amount) and thinking we got a bargain because the 5s and 6s just cost too much.

Here's hoping our 3rd tier chIphone 4 will be good enough.

Champions are champions.

Urban took over a terrible team and won the MAC with it, then did it with a mediocre team in the WAC. SOS won the ACC with DUKE.

Saban never won the Big 10 championship.

Miles never won the Big 12 championship.

The hell I can't. I'm about to buy it for that exact amount in about an hour.

Yeah that's the price with a two-year contract. Price it without one. :fear:
