Gundy immediately became one of the country's highest paid assistants. I've been places where the head coach did not make more money than other people in the conference and was the league's finest coach. I really don't see this as that unusual. It caught some notoriety which is a kind thing. I think this is a way that athletics is headed.
Finances dictate that athletic departments find creative ways to fund sports.
But a head coach sharing his salary was never one of them. What a novel deed, though, by Miles. Four hundred thousand was enough for him. It's refreshing to be reminded that coaching is still about winning not about country club memberships, free cars, a big house and a lucrative radio deal. It's just that it has never been uttered at contract negotiation time before Miles.
