SEC Coaches and Basing Pay on Incentives, Not Salary

War Machine Dawg suggested that someone write an article about football coaches getting paid based on incentives, and not a yearly salary. The idea was interesting, so I came up with a system where coaches would mostly receive pay based on how their teams performed.

I looked up the incentives for the contracts of each SEC head coach using this website. A lot of coaches get incentives for simply not getting fired or leaving. If you take out those incentives, incentives are usually about 25% of their total contract.

I made up an incentive based system where coaches would all receive 1 million a year, but would get Saban like pay for getting all of the possible incentives.
