WINNING AT ALL COSTS. USA Today took a look at which college football programs spent the most money per win this season and the stats are pretty hilarious. Ellis Johnson paced the pack with zero wins despite his $790k salary, but the names get a whole lot more familiar after that.
As expected, Fat Charlie is the 2nd least economical coach in the land with a $2.5 million salary that generated exactly one victory while the recently unemployed Gene Chizik cost Auburn roughly $1.7 million per victory, which doesn't even take into account the $180k the school had to shell out for Cam Newton.
Holding down the 4th slot for expensive wins, perennial B1G coach of the year Kirk Ferentz sent Iowa a bill of $958k for each of the team's four wins this season.Behind the recently canned Jeff Tedford and Joker Phillips, Illinois coach and Tressel tree-branch Tim Beckman's two wins were the 7th most expensive in the land at $800k apiece.
In case you're wondering, Urban's 12 wins were quite thrifty as the school shelled out just $354k per victory.
The cheapest, you ask? How about Darrell Hazell's 11 wins coming in Odd Lots-style at $27k each.
