He is getting paid for the job he is doing but would still bet if Notre Dame calls he will be there.
Florida coach Urban Meyer has two national championships in the last three years and the same number of raises.
Meyer signed a six-year contract Monday worth $4 million annually, up from $3.25 million, after leading the Gators to the national title in January. The new deal makes Meyer the highest-paid coach in the Southeastern Conference—at least for now.
Alabama’s Nick Saban, scheduled to make $3.9 million this season, is reportedly negotiating a contract extension. And LSU’s Les Miles has a clause in his contract that guarantees him $1,000 more than any coach in the league if he leads the Tigers to a national championship.
“Coach Meyer has certainly proven to be one of the top college football coaches in the country and should be compensated as such,” athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement. “We are proud he is our coach and we appreciate all that he has done for the Gators.”

Have to agree UNCSucks....as much as I hate the Gators, Urban has done one heck of a job down there and is one hell of a recruiter. He deserves the cash.
