Spurrier, Alabama's Nick Saban, Florida's Will Muschamp, LSU's Les Miles, Mississippi's Houston Nutt, Mississippi State's Dan Mullen and Tennessee's Derek Dooley signed the proposal. This isnt a bad idea; but what happens when the next coach says "OBC only pays $300? Ill pay you $500"?. He does make some interesting points though.
