Remember when Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen got his raise in February of 2015 that brought him into the $4 million club—an "exclusive" society that included every other coach in the SEC West?
The question was asked throughout the college football world: "Which $4 million man will finish last?"
It was Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn in 2015. That performance landed him squarely on the hot seat along with, as Bleacher Report's Brian Pedersen noted earlier in the offseason, LSU's Les Miles and Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin—both of whom didn't meet the expectations that their lofty salaries demanded last season either.
