Yes. Let's see: just rounding numbers here so cut me some slack. Before Mullen stadium sits 45,000 and we only averaged about 40,000. Now sold out 65,000 are the norm. At avg. ticket price of $100 that's about 1.5 mill per game or with 7 home game....yes I know 6 this year 10.5 mill increase a season. Double that for hotdogs Coke etc and let's just say Dan bring in a cool 20 mill more each year and makes what 1.5 mill more than croom? Yeah Mullen is a bargain.

Don't forget parking, and additional BDC memberships and donations.

Dan, like Saban and many other head coaches, brings in much more to the University than they pay him. The advancement of our football program has been nothing short of astounding since Dan took over.

Mullen HAS TO WIN the Egg Bowl this year. Right now he is 1-2 against a High School Girls Basketball Coach. If he falls to 1-3 against Ole Miss with the best QB that MSU has ever had plus the best group of WRs that MSU has ever had, then I will be in the "Mullen doesn't deserve $4 million" camp. If he wins, he deserves his current money, if he loses he might need a pay cut in my opinion.

Not disagreeing, but basic accounting insists that you take out the cost of stadium renovations and construction (the part that is still outstanding and wasn't direct donors). Of course you also need to add in the merch sales which skyrocketed last year and probably accounted to over $5 million extra on their own...

Better Question: Is John Hevesy worth $315,000?

You do the math: It was in the spring of 2011 that John Hevesy was working his recruiting territory in north Louisiana and came across and made contact with a PSA and called Coach Mullen and told him that we really need to check this guy out. He made the first contact with, established and maintained the early relationship with a young man named Dakota Prescott. So you tell me if that is worth the money?

He's worth whatever a middle of the pack SEC West coach is worth because that's where we are right now. Since by definition the very worst coach in the West, whoever that may be (not Mullen), is making at least $4 million, he is worth at least that much.

Another point you probably knew but your desire for gratification via trolling overlooked, Mullen is the lowest paid coach in the SEC West. So I think we are definitely getting our money's worth there.

I will still think he is the lowest paid in the west

You aren't very good at this trolling thing
