Members JerryNumbers Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 I read an article yesterday about the pay the NCAA's head football coaches receive, I'm posting them below, the article can be found here. 1: Nick Saban Alabama (SEC) $5,395,852 2: Mack Brown Texas (Big 12) $5,392,500 3: Bret Bielema Arkansas (SEC) $5,158,863 4: Butch Jones Tennessee (SEC) $4,860,000 5: Bob Stoops Oklahoma (Big 12) $4,741,667 6: Urban Meyer Ohio State (Big Ten) $4,608,000 7: Les Miles LSU (SEC) $4,300,000 8: Brady Hoke Michigan (Big Ten) $4,154,000 9: Kirk Ferentz Iowa (Big Ten) $3,985,000 10: Charlie Strong Louisville (AAC) $3,700,000 What got me to thinking about becoming a football coach was these salary's, plus a few years back a local coach stopped coaching to be a full time pastor. Three years later he left the pastors job, going back to coaching, so I going to give you a quote from him. He stated, "The only difference in coaching & being a pastor is the age of the people, in coaching your dealing with younger people, & when your a pastor your usually dealing with older people." Surely this coach/pastor would never mislead anyone, besides I'm only 66 going on 67 years of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryNumbers Posted November 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Here in an article on a SBC web site about football. Is It Time to End Our Love-Affair with Football? Amazing how most of them defend football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ASongOfDegrees Posted November 9, 2013 Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 The pastor's rewards will come in a different way and at a different time. And it won't be taxed either. By the way, one reason those coaches make huge bucks is because they bring in a lot of money to the school because they produce outstanding football teams. Like John said, it is big business.
