    You just can't kiss enough of his ass can you?

    Often those numbers are inflated off their actual base salaries by bonuses, etc. That said, a successful sports program increases applications, especially among out of state students who pay higher tuition rates, and that competition raises academic standards. The schools don't have to settle for a hayseed admit to fill a desk if they can lure in a smarter person from out of state. The benefits are not quite as linear as you seem to make it sound. Like Nick Saban's base salary is only like $300K but he got lots of bonus money and contingencies that could make his contract worth $11M, but that doesn't mean he is guaranteed to get $11M.

    No. I have not seen that report. But if you do the researchfor yourself, you will see that the Alabama football team has a higher graduation rate than the national average for all college students.

    And a major portion of his salary is endorsement deals.

    Apparently you can't since you're the one that mentioned him in the post to which I responded.

    I mentioned in in response to accusations and claims by another poster.

    Coach Saban has done some pretty amazing things for my school. I have no problem detailing them. You want to call that kissing ass? You are simply misguided (at best). There isn't a better college football coach out there. I like having him at the Univ of Alabama.

    Yet you mentioned it just as I did to your post.

    You like sucking his dick and kissing his ass. I bet he likes you doing it, too.

    They certainly dodged a bullet when Rich Rodriguez turned them down for the job

    Recognizing the excellence someone brings, and the huge efforts they put forth to achieve the level of the absolute best, is not kissing ass or sucking dick.

    But your obsession with both is duly noted.

    I agree. We had a string of coaches come and fail. Glad we ended that.

    Rodriguez's acumen as a coach was blown out of proportion. He largely inherited a strong team Don Nehlen had built up in his final couple years, and used that success to get some better players once he took over, but largely blew too many games they should have walked away with.

    A lot of coaches have gotten credit for what they did with the previous coach's team. I think a new coach needs at least 4 years to show what he will do over the long haul.

    But lasting 4 years these days is tough.

    Maybe one day, when you're all grown up, you will figure out you don't have to suck the dick of every man you admire. I'm sorry you have been so mistreated by those you looked up yo.
