Don't confuse base salaries with total compensation. Montana coaches make close to a half million IF they produce.
No MT coach has ever come close to making a half million dollars. I doubt that any has gotten very close to $300,000.
I said IF they produce. Maybe Ash got paid more more than Montana Coaches. Last year Ash earned $298,538 of a possible $446,038. NOT COUNTING what he earned from camps and outside incentives or car etc.
"For his guidance and leadership of the MSU program, Ash receives a base salary of $174,538 with incremental raises possible each year. He gets guaranteed appearance bonuses totaling $30,000 each for the Cat Chat and Bobcat Pregame radio shows and for the Bobcat Sports Report television show. Each year he participates in fundraising activities, social activities, booster functions (social and golf), public speaking engagements and ticket sales campaigns, the university pays him $21,500, bringing his baseline annual salary to $256,038.
Ash also receives a courtesy automobile and can explore endorsement opportunities to supplement his income. He also receives an undisclosed amount of money from football camps hosted by MSU. He gives all the profits from the camps in their entirety to his assistant coaches. Ash may also supplement his coaches salaries through money raised by the MSU Quarterback Club or the Coaches Excellence account."

He was short 462.00 of the 300,000 you said no Montana coach was even close too and the figure didn't include money from other sources.... Is Montana paying its coaches that much less than State.
