When I read that article previously, I thought Chaney had the only 3-year contract.  I was wrong.  It's Sunseri  :frown:

Whatever you think about Wilcox leaving, there is no justification for Sunseri to have the highest salary with the longest tenure.  None at all.   Talk about an EPIC FAIL....

A related question...why two coaches for the DBs?  This might be common in the NFL, but seems almost unheard of in college.  I am mostly going by how it's been at Tennessee and a few other schools, so I truly don't know, but it seems unusual.  It also seems like a good way to have the db's be uncoordinated, but WDIK.   

Coach ..................... Position ......................................... 2012 salary ....... Contract end date
