Nick is the only one worth what he’s getting paid.

I agree, these coaches are way overpaid. However, the "going rate" is an issue for ADs.

What I don't get is coaches like Pruitt. Why pay him so much? Give him a similar salary as Moorehead and let him earn it. Were other schools fighting to get him? Tennessee is a great first job, he should have gladly taken $2.5mil. UT, Arkansas, Miss State, and LSU are getting off cheap - by today's standards.

I dont think that includes the amount Fooley is still paying Duncecap.

Last year for him, I think.
