That ' s silly . You should know it doesn ' t work like that . FSU is one of only 7 schools that pays $ 5 M or more . There isn ' t perpetual upscaling that brings offers like 8 . 2 M . Only 1 team in the entire country pays over 6 . 9 M Michigan . So , am I for Jimbo getting a 2 million dollar raise ? No . That isn ' t necessary because of Florida ' s unique tax incentives . But Jimbo or another FSU head coach making $ 6 M is something I ' d back and that ' d bring us from # 5 to more like # 2 once taxes are accounted for . # 2 for just another 750 K and no one takes him , ever , period . I could live with that . We offer ridiculously high bonus incentives . Just scale some of that down and carry it to the salary . It ' s stupid anyway . A lot of those bonuses are a given . Only keep the highest tier such as WINNING an ACC championship game , going to a NY 6 bowl , going to a CFP bowl .
