Thanks to the math wizards at USA Today, we now know that for all his millions, Oklahoma football Bob Stoops is underpaid.
Stoops earned, according to USA Today caluclus, $329,091 per regular-season victory last year. Now, before you spit out your lemonade, consider these salary-per-victory figures from 2007:
Gene Chizik, at that noted football power Iowa State: $341,833
Bill Callahan, who darn near destroyed modern-day Nebraska football: $350,250
Tyrone Willingham, not exactly restoring the luster to the Washington Huskies: $367,569
Mario Cristobal, Florida International House of Pancakes: $381,076
Guy Morriss, no longer coach at Baylor: $401,606
Phil Bennett, no longer coach at SMU: $517,857
Greg Robinson, who should no longer be coach at Syracuse: $527,086
Nick Saban, Alabama: $583,867
And, finally, there is the curious case of Minnesota coach Tim Brewster. The Gophers won one single game last season. Their head coach "earns" $1 million. You do the math. Then feel free to let fly with that lemonade.
