USF is still paying Holtz $500K/yr

The fact that $3mil barely cracks the top 25 is scary!

WHAT ABOUT TULANE AND MCNEESE!!!????!!!

I only copied in the teams that handed us losses this season. For Tulane, follow the link in the original post. McNeese will not be included because they are not (yet) an FBS school.

Looks like Hud is 15th (rough count) in G5. Progressively, looks like the next step up is AAC.

Haha has to be comment of the day!!! Wow!

Interesting comment. How much does a college football coach make per hour? Let's assume a college coach works 12 hours a day for 300 days out of the year. If he is paid $1 million per year that is $277.78 dollars per hour. That's not including the other perks of the job.

Hud has the salary that is Highest among the Sunbelt, CUSA & MAC, (Higher than Army's coach which is independent), and the 4th best in Mt West. not including other bonuses. just base Salary. Hud is at 1 mil...i would say he is doing pretty well at #71 overall, considering what he accomplished and how much the program has turned around...

thats interesting...as well as if he would get paid bi-weekly (base pay only) his checks would be $38,461.54 (before taxes). Facts are FUN! (and slightly depressing when compared with what i make as a nurse )

Yea, but those bennies are awesome, he gets all the leftover blowpops and snickers bars from the players' goodie bags.
