There are 176 ASSISTANT college football coaches who are paid more then Rolo.  How embarassing!!
The highest paid assistant is John Chavis at Texas A&M at $1,558,000!!  There are 12 assistant coaches who make more than $1,000,000.  If UH wants to be a big dog, they're gonna have to pay like the big dogs.  Otherwise, it will continue to be minor leagues around here.
In 2004, June Jones negotiated a contract of $800,00 per year.  He was the top paid public employee in the state at the time.  We're talking 13 years ago.  What kind of institution goes backwards on the salary scale and expects to attract top notch people?  
Former Warrior alum Ken Niumatalolo makes $1.6 million per year at the Naval Academy to take the title as the highest paid federal employee.  Can't even afford to go after former alumni to come coach.
