That is right. Four million dollars to coach a university football team. For one year--in 2006. We will know about his 2008 compensation sometime in 2010, and we will find out it is even more than five mil. This beats the data in my earlier post on the ridiculous compensation for university sports coaches.
Adam Rose, in the LA Times blog, provides the breakdown of Carroll's earnings. And that of the other highest paid USC employees. Nope, the university president is not the highest paid employee, but Carroll is. An Assistant Football Coach earned almost as much as what the Dean of the medical school there earned. One works with hundreds of people to save lives and improve the quality of our health. What exactly does the other one do? Pathetic!
Full disclosure: I earned my graduate degrees from USC :-)
