A bit of context for non-American readers: The U.S. president makes $400,000 a year. Anyone who's up for a quick math problem might figure how many times the president's salary the LSU coach makes.

More context: Here where the Tide rolls, you hear more complaints about, say, bonehead plays called by an offensive coordinator than about the $9.75 million salary of head coach Nick Saban (who at least WINS).
