Well, $1.6 million/year works out to about $300,000 per Spartan win under John L. The long knives are out!
John Niyo's Top 5: Win or else :
After 40 years at Penn State, Joe Paterno doesn't have to worry about job security. But here are five coaches who do:
Rich Brooks, Kentucky: A 9-25 record in his first three seasons -- and 4-20 in the Southeastern Conference -- earned Brooks a contract extension. But that was mostly to help with recruiting, and it won't mean a thing if the losing continues.
Dennis Franchione, Texas A&M: Cut-and-run wizard usually doesn't stay in one place for more than four or five years. He might not in College Station, either, unless ex-Western Michigan coach Gary Darnell can fix the defense this season.
Larry Coker, Miami (Fla.): A growing list of off-the-field problems wouldn't matter at Miami if not for three losses in each of the last two seasons. Coker, who's 53-9 with a national title to his credit, purged half his coaching staff last winter, so now it's on him.
John L. Smith, Michigan State: The Spartans' offense has been fun to watch -- and this fall it should be no different -- but another bowl game would help appease the restless fans in East Lansing. Beating Michigan wouldn't hurt, either."
