Texas' Brown getting hefty pay raise - Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas -- Longhorns coach Mack Brown is getting a raise that would put him among the highest paid coaches in college football, school officials said.
Brown, who won the national championship with a 41-38 Rose Bowl victory over Southern California earlier this month, will receive an annual salary of at least $2.5 million, Texas men's Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said.
Brown, 54, earned $2.159 million last season and is due for another $100,000 as part of a 10-year agreement that was announced at the end of the 2005 season.
"We've always wanted to keep him in the top five in the country, where he belongs," Dodds said.
USC coach Pete Carroll is believed to receive $3 million annually, while Notre Dame's Charlie Weis is paid as much as $4 million. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, meanwhile, earned $2.4 million this past season.
Freakin' took UT long enough!
I thought this deal or a bigger one would've been done 1wk after winning the Nat'l Championship.
Wow, $4mil/yr for Weis. I'd say Gentleman Charlie has apprx 2yrs to get to the big game before they start calling for his head.
Rodney Dangerfield's clone?
He should donate his 2005 salary to VY.
VY, the 2 time Rose Bowl MVP of the Nat'l Champion TEXAS Longhorns?
Yeah, prob so huh?
His left nut too.
