5. Charlie Weis, Kansas: $2.5 Million

Weis is the 31st-highest paid coach in college football, yet his team has a Sagarin Rating of 106 out of 252 FBS and FCS teams. The Jayhawks are poor at nearly every facet of the game, yet their head coach still seems to be doing just fine financially.

4. Will Muschamp, Florida: $2.7 Million

Considering Muschamp is the 22nd highest paid coach in college football, it’s perfectly acceptable to expect more in return than a 4-4 record and an increasing chance the Gators will suffer a losing season for the first time since 1979. Want proof? Take a look at who’s just ahead of Muschamp at 20 and 21 – Missouri’s Gary Pinkel ($2.8 million) and Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher ($2.75 million). These guys have only one loss between them and both their teams are in the Top 10. Now that’s a good return on investment.

3. Gary Patterson, TCU: $3.1 Million

Patterson led the Horned Frogs into the season with a Top 20 ranking; however, it all went south from there. TCU is now 3-6 and only has one conference win over lowly Kansas. Their other two wins came against 3-4 SMU and FCS foe Southeastern Louisiana. Not really what you expect in return for giving your head coach the 16th-highest salary in college football.

2. Butch Jones, Tennessee: $4.9 Million

Perhaps it’s a little unfair to pick on a first-year guy coming into a tough situation, but c’mon. Ultimately, it’s really hard to justify having a losing record (4-5) when you’re the fourth-highest paid head coach in college football. But at least Jones isn’t making matters worse like the next guy.

1. Bret Bielema, Arkansas: $5.2 Million

Again: Perhaps it’s a little unfair to pick on a first-year guy coming into a tough situation, but c’mon. Ultimately, it’s really hard to justify having a losing record (3-6) when you’re the third-highest paid head coach in college football. To make matters worse, Bielema’s been a belligerent buffoon on Twitter, in the media and practically in any other platform in which he’s shared his thoughts.
