Most overpaid coach in college football.

Looks like Grobe has been there since 2001 and has 5 losing seasons.

Jim Grobe at wake forest makes 2. something million a year...he went 3-9 last year.

Wake is 4-3 in the ACC this year, I think Kirk will lead us to a 3-5 conference record. They've been to same amount of BCS bowls in the last nine years as well. Not to mention Wake is a very, small private school and we're a large public school. Got to go with Ferentz as being more over paid here.

They might be small, but even so thats a lot of money for 5 losing seasons. Im also pretty sure they have been to 1 BCS bowl game.

lol well I can be a mean drunk but most of the time i'm pretty docile and happy. I've been sober for quite some time so nope, not me.

Here is the link to coaches salaries from last year. I went through it and can't make the argument for anyone to be higher up on the list than KF and Gill.

As have we in the last nine years.

If Ron Zook gets more than $12 per game, then it's the Zooker and it's not even close.

I'd say if based solely on Wins/Losses - the yes, KF would certainly be on the list.

Are you counting the two Orange Bowl appearances as the same BCS bowl because they have the same name?

lol, I did some initial number crunching and 2011-9=2002.

But I guess you could be counting on this year as not going to a BCS bowl...in that case, is that why you used the number 9? Because it fits your arguement?

Ferentz is literally stealing from the UI. A monkey could do better with the resources thrown at this program.

Alright ape, apply for the job when KF is gone.

You think four top 10 seasons in the last decade have anything to do with that?

Nah, that's crazy talk.

 

[droidhawk]

So I guess you feel we're headed in the right direction and/or Kirk will right the ship starting next week at Purdue? Next year? What say you?

The funny thing is, 5 schools that are ahead of us are all in our conference, do the math.

 

[Doublewide]

Ferentz is probably number 2. Here are some others

Joker Phillips - Kentucky - 1.7 million
Ralph Friedgen - Maryland - 2 million
June Jones - SMU - 2.2 million
Mack Brown - 5.1 million

Um Ralph doesn't coach at Maryland anymore.

Ha...my bad. These are last years so they might be a little stale.
