Think there's not pressure on SEC coaches to win. All you have to do is look at the money they are being paid and expectations run high. Here's a look at 2010 compensation for head coaches in the SEC.

*LSU's Les Miles and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen have been given contract extentions with pay raises for 2011 and beyond.

*Florida's Urban Meyer has retired and new coach on board.

*Auburn's Gene Chizik earned a huge portion of his bonus. Maybe the full $1,000,000 max payout.

*Yes my friends, there is pressure to win in the SEC!

Petrino.............its amazing how good the conference is. Not even an argument in football anymore. Not even close.

This is certainly not surprising. Look how much Stoops, Brown, and Tressell are making. Pete Carroll was getting nearly 5 million plus another million in incentives when he was at USC. Even the terrible coaches like Neuheisel at UCLA get big money.

There is no doubt the pressure is on in the SEC! This is where the Big Boys Play!

[Carseller4]

SEC 5 National Champions in a row. No doubt the best conference in college football!
