They get paid based on the market. I don’t know where Don James got paid compared to other coaches but it was probably high.YellowSnow said:
And I'm as staunch as capitalist as any man, women, or trans person here. But the amount of TV revenue flowing into big time college athletics makes it possible for shitty to average coaches to make un godly seems of money. I'm not advocating any changes to the system, but it just pathetic to see Pete making 18 times what DJ did coming off an Orange Bowl win over Barry FUCKING Switzer.

I don't miss Pete, I don't thank him, I don't think he was anything special.
He's dead to me.
Coaches nowadays are definitely overpaid, but there is nothing we can do about it. -
Nope. There's nothing we should do about it. Rather, it's just comical to me the difference in DJ's comp vs Pete's. @MikeDamone was right - the fancy boats and expensive coffee makes for shitty coaching.RoadDawg55 said:

I don't consider him dead to me per se, but this effort to turn him into a saint is nauseating. He gave a half assed effort this season and the 8-5 record reflects it.RaceBannon said:Coaches couldn't afford to fag out like Pete

Unfortunately, that's about all I remember about him, and it hasn't even been a week. -

There is no such thing as overpay. These fuckers negotiated and that was the clearing price.RoadDawg55 said:

I think the boats and coffee analysis is way off the mark, and a toilet salesman should know that better than anyone. The most fucking ruthless motherfuckers on the planet LOVE expensive boats, fancy coffee, flying private, fucking models on the French Riviera... all the finest things in life, and they'll do ANYTHING to attain them. Sales and sociopathy just aren't for everyone, not everyone is willing to suck teen boy dick by dancing at a photoshoot to get that 5* kid or fuck grandma out of her pension to get that 7 figure bonus. Not everyone is willing to cut their old buddy's throat in a second when they've shown they aren't the guy for the job.YellowSnow said:

The problem with Pete is he was content with fancy coffee and a boat ride to work, not that he partook of them. Jimmy has shown hints that he won't be happy until he's on top and he'll do what it takes to get there. And hopefully even then he'll want the next best thing.
I'm not sure if Pete was aware that recruiting the parents is a vital skill, he probably just likes the smell of his own farts too much, but he did it about as well as anyone ever has. Praise REAL GOD that he put that tool in Jimmy's toolbox and also that Jimmy likely sees it as exactly that; a tool, nothing more and nothing less.
It warmed my heart that Pete cared about the kids, and he was doing it the right way, but it turns out Pete and I had different ideas of what his job was. He thought it was ethics and morals first, football second; I think it's football first through fortieth, then start worrying about if they're saying their prayers. Turns out I'm right, youth pastors don't get paid $4mm per annum. -
Sounds like I should have gone into coaching

Of corse, the coffee and boat thing is more sarcasm. These things are not mutually exclusive with winning big time games. As you state quite well it’s giving Pete shit for not having the fire in his belly.Emoterman said:

I do favor the invisible hand. That's exactly what I'm saying. That's why I posted what I did. If enough refuse to work for what they are getting, then it will be raised. As long as players line you to play for the current deal, then it won't and shouldn't change.UWhuskytskeet said:
Why do you hate letting the invisible hand decide their stipend?MikeDamone said:
That seems too low. They should quit football. It’s big ripoff. They should just apply, get accepted, and pay for school like millions of other non athletes.UWhuskytskeet said:Players get $300 stipends though.
