ND wouldn't pay him more than the highest paid prof. But his Reebok, TV, Radio Show, Washington Speakers Bureau, etc pushed him to the top.
I and others have pointed this out many times on this forum. Knute, you have been around long enough to have seen these discussions.
Notre Dame has a long standing policy that coaches' salaries are to be in line with the compensation structure of the faculty. In other words, the coaches will paid in the range of the highest paid professors. So, his stated salary is much lower than that of other big programs, but is a fraction of his compensation. The official salary is augmented by lucrative media and apparel contracts.
I've seen reports of his total compensation being in the $4.5 to $5 million range. And that was before the head coaching position became endowed. That endowment, I'm guessing, probably adds another 500k to 1mil.
That listing of 1.6mil is laughable and is about what his coordinators are being paid. Remember when Mike Elko was offered 1.75 million but left for 2 mil from TAM.

What a bargain! And yet they still blow.

In the first place, his “salary” in the last ND disclosure statement was $2.1 million. And as a private school, none of his outside income or bonuses are disclosed. I have no doubt he makes a lot less than the public school coaches at the top of that list but he isn’t hurting for money.
ND.... stellar at collecting money.....tight as a bull's ass when it's time to pay.

WOW!
Kinda dumbfounded on the amount of scratch some of these guys are making.

that FSU's program is a dumpster fire, top to bottom.
First one is a pipe dream. And the other is a coach that went 4-8 with top 20 talent and has a penchant for exotic, overly finesse gameplans that allow inferior opponents to beat, or nearly beat, his far more talented team.

restraints that ND places on a coach and he'd be just fine. In fact, the talent would, at times, overcome his poor decision making and/or coaching. He might not win a NC, but he'd do a whole lot better than their current coach.
