I can see that viewpoint. However that is what the market bears today. I believe Coach Marlin is right in the middle of the pack of what SBC coaches earn and he is slightly above the middle of the pack in accomplishments. Someone with more knowledge or time than I could look up the salaries of the league's coaches. If they did, I believe my presumption would prove to be correct.
Kinda like giving an extension and raise fur a 13-15 season because that's the way it was written in the contract then allowing the coach " to kick that can down the road" in essence giving himself and extra year. Farmer's workings in all of this isn't lost on me. It's easy to look back now and say that about HUD, if farner lets him walk at that time he would have been crucified.
I believe Marlin received his extension and raise for winning the division his first year. The extension and raise was built into his contract. However, Marlin allowed the university to wait a year or two before executing the new contract due to a lack of funds. If I'm not mistaken, the additional money went to Hud's new deal. Not many people would be ok with delayed compensation that was guaranteed in their contract.
