I think it was more a comment on coaching salaries in general than an attack on Saban and Fisher.

Re: Ohio St. AD Calls Saban And Jimbo Salaries " Ridiculous"
..Exactly..People can moan n groan all they want, but, from the return the University receives from football generated money & the 5 NC's sitting in The Bryant Museum..I calculate the money we've paid Coach Saban is the best investment in college football history..

So you are saying Sheldon Cooper should make more than Jim Parsons

It seems to me that he's trying to get in Urban Meyer's head. I don't know who OSU thinks can do a better job for less but sometimes AD's can let their bean counter side take over.

Be careful what you wish for. If your fan base has the misfortune of stumbling though a decade like 1997-2006 was for us, you can be reminded that just because "We are Alabama" or "We are Ohio St" doesn't mean anything without a good coach.
Well, I think he's calling them ridiculous as comparisons wrt negotiating a new contract with UM. Virtually everyone agrees that A&M went 'full A&M', and Saban shouldn't be considered not because of the amount, but because of the circumstances surrounding him - as B1G said above, what CNS has accomplished is such an outlier that his pay shouldn't even be considered as a comparison.
Re: Ohio St. AD Calls Saban And Jimbo Salaries " Ridiculous"
IOW, it's less of an attack as the headline makes it seem - it's actually a well thought out position wrt negotiating a new salary. He's essentially saying "we're not stupid enough to write a contract like A&M and UM has not accomplished enough to get paid like Saban, so let's not get silly here."
I didn't read his quotes that way - I think UM will get a pay raise. After dwelling on his quotes for a bit, I think he was specifically calling those salaries ridiculous as comparisons when discussing Meyer's new salary because of different reasons (I described above).

Re: Ohio St. AD Calls Saban And Jimbo Salaries " Ridiculous"
Nick Saban at $8-10M a year is the biggest bargain the University ever struck. And even that doesn't count the financial benefit to the community.
And you didn't count student enrollment and all the benefits that go along with that. If tOSU AD doesn't understand that (and I think he does), I don't know what to say.

Architects should make more money than everyone. If it weren't for architects, nobody would have any buildings to do their jobs. This includes college football coaches, doctors, teachers, lawyers, athletes, etc.

I've worked on enough different boats to think Naval architects should keel hauled

Does it matter that it's Bama or OSU, certainly; but the coach usually matters more.
Luke Fickell says hello. Bama can't talk either: Mike Shula would say hello, and Mi...:smile:. Bama had sanctions, but Ray Perkins, Bill Curry - OK, but not enough.

He's an idiot. I could do a cost analysis of coach Saban to prove he is worth north of 20 million a year to UA.

Edit- Yes, that is sarcasm even without the blue font.
Come on, guys, without farmers everyone would starve. Yet, our society shows again and again that we value entertainment over true value to society. Yeah society! The Kardashians rule!But you are nothing without pencils and paper

Sorry, this isn't true for most OSU alumni. We want our football team to be great, but we demand that our university remain great - the two are not tied together in any way. The school is far more important than the sport. I would rather our football program be shut down entirely than have OSU stained as a university the way that PSU, UNC and Baylor have been.

Face it, if the Buckeye's keep winning and Ohio St. wants to keep Myer, they'll pay and pay what he wants - $$,$$$,$$$.00...
Re: Ohio St. AD Calls Saban And Jimbo Salaries " Ridiculous"
Come on now, give old Herm a chance before disparaging him! Arizona St. has been sort of a wasteland of the Pac 12 for years, if in 3yrs. he hasn't done something with them then anyone has the right to question his value to the Univ. Also he's back home 'So To Speak', his roots are in the very fertile football state of Calif. Personally I hope he does great at ASU...
