Kansas paid Weis $2.5m for their one win, while Darrell Hazell brought in a win for every $27k in salary he made from Kent State.

LOL. As a coach, I'd HATE to see a report like this.

To be fair I'd like to see this set of information somehow balanced out against the $$ a school makes from a football program (or how much it loses as most do) and see what a coaches true value is!

If you want to do the leg work you could figure it out for the 2011 season: http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/Fly4Fun;1336923 wrote:To be fair I'd like to see this set of information somehow balanced out against the $$ a school makes from a football program (or how much it loses as most do) and see what a coaches true value is!
2012 data won't be out until after the summer, but the revenues and expenses by team are all in there.

Funny you should mention it as well, here's an article about the 2011 revenues by team: http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/12/04/4460673/texas-football-leads-the-way-among.html

lolWINNING 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.

Darell Hazell ain't cheap anymore: 6 years, $12 million at Purdue. Good for him.

Charlie Weis: A loser in everything besides the "Most Trips To Golden Corral Annually" category.
