As we all look under our respective couch cushions, or try to catch the Tooth Fairy to extort an extra dime or dollar, it might be time to consider that the best move is to become a college football coach.
This week the University of Texas approved the contract for coach Todd Orlando at $1.09 million. He’s the defensive coordinator.
By comparison, in 1994, TCU thought giving head football coach Pat Sullivan a raise was a good idea, and increased his annual compensation package to $300,000 per year. That was money well spent.
Then, in 1997, it decided it no longer wanted Sullivan as its coach; it gave Dennis Franchione a seven-year contract worth a total of $2.
