There are 128 head coaches of FBS teams. There are 3,000 CEOs in the Russell 3,000. Scarcity? Supply and demand? Apples and rutabagas?

P.J. Fleck, a hot name to replace Helfrich, makes $820K at Western Michigan, which is unbeaten. The coach at UNLV, which is frequently beaten, makes $510K. Hawaii's coach? $400K, but check out that view! All three are FBS jobs no one covets.

Is it fair that Chris Petersen makes $3.6 million at Washington and Beau Baldwin makes $212K at Eastern Washington? Both beat WSU, after all, and Baldwin already owns one national title to Petersen's none. Outrageous.

There's a reason that 36 FBS coaches are paid $3 million or more per year. Not everyone can do what they do (see: Helfrich, Mark). Ask any of your Russell 3,000 if they'd trade places on Saturdays with any of those 36 coaches with their paychecks hanging on the outcome.
