"SPARTY" answered the question correctly. The guy in the picture is Mark Dantonio, the new football coach at Michigan State. Without doing anything, Coach Ma'D has been given the highest salary of any coach in Michigan. So, I'm going to guess he'll succeed. In fact, he already has.

Unfortunately, Old Chip, you have relied on the Saginaw News for your info about his salary.
As you know a coach's compsensation is a package deal with base salary being only one factor - radio/t.v. shows, shoe contracts, annuities, etc. also being in the mix.
The Saginaw/Frankenmuth News showed $1.1 million as a salary which was nearly double what Floyd Carr makes - however, that is Dantonio's total compesation package (minus certain performance-based incentives)whereas the Carr, Kelly figures were indications of the base salary each receives. Actually, Dantonio's total compensation is a half million less than John L. Smith signed for four years ago.
Rule of thumb - disregard most of what you read in the Snooze.
I think you give good advice, and I accept your explanation. You're our resident expert on things about Spartans, and we trust you.
Some day, I'm going to print a retraction. When the Saginaw "Snooze" does.
