[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 169313, member: 601"] While that sounds nice in a vacuum, it's just not true here. We have the third or fourth longest bowl streak in the country. Currently we have the best coach we've had in 50 years (who is, by the way, very well paid compared to other coaches). And, within the last 10 or so years, we've had the best WR in the history of the sport, a host of great running backs, 4 trips to our conference championship, and a number of huge home games. Yet, even though our school is also in a city of 6 mil +, we can't sell out our relatively tiny football stadium. Simply put, we just don't have a lot of money to go around. And we choose to pay our head coach and defensive coordinator more, comparative to their respective markets, than we do assistants. That was the complaint - that we don't pay our assistants more. My point is that we can't pay them much more while staying solvent, especially recently where we've been paying for 2 coaches in both basketball and football. It's much more important to have a great head coach than great assistant coaches - that's why they are paid so much more. And it's not like we are paying our assistants peanuts, they are getting high 100k low 200k and are around #3-400 in terms of assistants (counting coordinators). Not to mention that most of our guys are specialists for our offense and there are only a few jobs they could go to - thus showing a lower demand and corresponding lower salary. [/QUOTE]
