I think coaching salaries will gradually go down after the next round of broadcast rights negotiations. The floundering of ESPN shows that we're at the high water mark of how much money networks can pay for TV rights.

This is kinda how I see it too. I get the feeling we're going to plateau or drop back at some point.

I know it's all self funded through the athletic department revenue, but surly there has to be some upper limit right? I can't help but feel like these insane contracts aren't great for the sport in general

Depends a bit on the school/conference. The odds of the MAC ever having a coach making over $1m base pay are basically zero. On top of that, schools seem to be a lot more trigger-happy to fire coaches these days so overall pay to a coach may not be as huge in the long run either. Bama's obviously it's own pretty unique case.

I imagine Fleck was close last year after bonuses and all that. But Saban's the curve-breaker since any coach wanting Saban money would be told to produce Saban results. But then again, Harbaugh's the exception to that rule, so who knows.

Yeah he was over 1mil with bonuses but I really doubt you see it as a base pay, and he was a pretty unique case.

I don't think Memphis is going to be able to hang on to him much longer but good for him.

Yeah Memphis has more money than I thought, but I'd be shocked if he was still there after the 2018 season.
