[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4234501, member: 26737"] I don't think that's as big of a factor as you'd think. I'm not saying nobody jumped specifically for a bigger paycheck, but most coaches jumped because it was a step up on the coaching ladder--they were moving to a more prestigious program, and the fact that more prestigious programs pay their coaches more was just gravy on the biscuit. In short, the coaches getting higher pay was, most likely, an effect, not a cause. Look at the high-profile coaching moves--historically, it has almost always been something like Les Miles leaving OSU for LSU, and very rarely would it be a Nick Saban going from Alabama to Podunk State just because Podunk State hit a windfall and can suddenly compete with the big boys on coaching salaries. When they do go from a prestigious program to a smaller school, it's usually either because they screwed the pooch at the big school or there was some intermediate stop (often the NFL) between the schools.
