Not even close, but thanks for playing. You know who the highest paid government employee is in quite a few American states? I’ll give you a hint: they usually work in universities, but they aren’t academics. They’re the coaches of state university football teams. In Florida, the coach of the Florida State Seminoles makes just over $2 million per year. In Iowa, Kirk Ferentz at the University of Iowa earned just over $3.1 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, and Patrick (Dan) McCarney earned just over $1 million at Iowa State in the same period. In Arkansas (pdf), Houston Nutt made just over $1 million last year at the University of Arkansas, while the school’s basketball coach Stanley Heath pulled down just over $750,000. And in Alabama, Nick Saban recently signed a deal that will pay him an average of $4 million a year over the next eight years to coach the Crimson Tide. I’m betting that puts him above any other employee of the state of Alabama. [...]
