Coaches that currently make more money then Les Miles

3.85

 

@islstl In the spirit of useless trivia about college football...IF you can refrain from google...

Who was the first coach in college football to break the 1 million per year barrier?

 

That's likely to remain as it is for 2014 with the raises Cam and Chavis are scheduled to receive.

 

FWIW, Spurrier just got a 700K raise this week pushing him to 4.3.

I mention that because UofSC isn't as financially liquid as a lot of schools. The last reporting cycle I looked at had them a little under 370K in the black.

 

I thought it was Nick Saban when LSU hired him in 1999/2000.

 

And that's the result of a google search I suspect...

 

I'd have to look up the exact date but I do recall Bowden broke that barrier in the mid-90's.
