News Junkie
By David Ubben

USA Today has released its annual report on coaching salaries, and here's how the Big 12 stacks up per year, from top to bottom.

Note: Some coaches' contracts have bonuses built in for reaching bowls, BCS bowls, winning their division or conference titles. Those are not included in these numbers, but the maximum bonuses are listed in the USA Today report.

Mack Brown, Texas: $5,161,500

Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: $4,375,000

Gary Pinkel, Missouri: $2,550,000

Turner Gill, Kansas: $2,101,200

Bo Pelini, Nebraska: $2,100,000

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State: $1,925,000

Bill Snyder, Kansas State: $1,875,000

Mike Sherman, Texas A&M: $1,801,000

Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech: $1,509,000

Dan Hawkins, Colorado: $1,391,903

Paul Rhoads, Iowa State: $1,051,145

Art Briles, Baylor: $878,315

And who doesn't like value buys, right? Certainly, some schools got more bang for their buck this season. Let's re-rank those coaches by how much they were paid per win this season.

Art Briles, Baylor: $125,473.57

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State: $192,500

Mike Sherman, Texas A&M: $200,111.11

Bo Pelini, Nebraska: $210,000

Paul Rhoads, Iowa State: $210,229

Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech: $215,571.43

Gary Pinkel, Missouri: $255,000

Bill Snyder, Kansas State: $267,857.14

Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: $397,727.27

Dan Hawkins, Colorado: $463,967.67

Turner Gill, Kansas: $700,400

Mack Brown, Texas: $1,032,300

Looks somewhat reflective of the Coach of the Year race, no?

Ummm, wasn't that already done???

I'd still argue that even though the Stoops cost per win is high, he's still a (relative) value with 7 Big XII championships. Sometimes you pay for the best i.e. Stoops. Sometimes you just pay too much (Mack Brown, Dan Hawkins etc...).
 
For the record, here are the Pac 10 salaries

(Lane Kiffin, USC, $4,000,000)
Chip Kelly, Oregon, $2,400,000
Jeff Tedford, California, $2,305,000
Steve Sarkisian, Washington, $1,850,004
Dennis Erickson, Arizona State, $1,503,000
Mike Stoops, Arizona, $1,385,838
Rick Neuheisel, UCLA, $1,276,000
(Jim Harbaugh, Stanford, $1,250,000)
Kyle Whittingham, Utah, $1,200,000
Mike Riley, Oregon State, $1,110,000
Paul Wulff, Washington State, $600,650

USC and Stanford don´t have to release salaries for obvious reasons, but Kiffin is on a reported $4m and Harbaugh $1.25m.

Thanks Jens. Those numbers are far more refreshing.

What are those obvious reasons?
 
that's kind of interesting. you know what would be REALLY cool though? if they had a "pay per win" chart. So I did the math, and here's what you get:

Mack Brown, Texas: $1,032,300
Turner Gill, Kansas: $700,400
Dan Hawkins, Colorado: $463,967.67
Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: $397,727.27

Jesus what a waste of money. What on earth has that guy ever done to deserve anything close to that?
