How much of an impact is a Head Coaches salary in the mind of a recruit? And I'm talking about the top salary of Nick Saban. But I am thinking about coaches in the Top 25. Does a coaches salary indicate the stability and investment a school is making? The top 63 coaches have compensation of $2 million plus per year. The coach at Navy is $1.75 mill.
Regardless of how quickly many have said Butch Jones is not a long-term solution. Here's his salary and god knows what they pay the top assistants. This is what we are competing against. The list goes on and on and our coach who I really like is listed at $900k.
