Ever wonder where your favorite coach ranks in salary 1-100?

With Rich Rodriguez signing his new contract at Michigan last Friday, I thought I would show you where he ranks nationally. Check out if your coach makes too much money vs his performance or is it time for a raise.

You can be the judge with the list of the top 100 coaches salaries. I have a color scale to show you how I feel; if they are over paid, right on the money, or need a raise.

RED is Over Paid
Green is spot on
Orange is time for a new contract
