Does anyone else think it's funny how much theyre paying their staff with no championships under their belt? and nothing to show yet?

Meyer and his staff have won 2 SEC Titles, 2 National Championships, Great recruiting classes year-in and year-out, but yet get paid less over-all as a staff?

I'm sure the Gators' coaches will get raises. It's crazy how much they're getting paid.

It does show a commitment that they want to return to the BCS Championship picture. If I were a tennesee fan (which I can't be, because I have all my teeth), I'd be really happy.

Also, one person that's not mentioned on the Gator salary is Mickey Mariotti, the strength and conditioning coach...

I know Monte Kiffin is worth the 1.2 million but I can't believe Charlie strong makes so little. I would be out of here in a heart beat. Thats ridiculous. Your head coach gets paid 3.2 million meanwhile you get paid 300K? Awful. I find the irony in their pay scale but if they are going to make it happen they have to stay competitive. UT has a lot of wealthy alumni. In fact I only know 3 people that have graduated from there and they are all millionaires with their own big businesses in the southeast.
