Jimmy Sexton sets the market and this is what it takes now to land a top college football coach:

According to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the new head coach and Athletic Director Bill Moos, Scott Frost will receive $5 million annually for seven years, with the contract expiring on Dec. 31, 2024.

Jimbo Fisher has hit the jackpot. He has left Florida State University to become the next football coach at Texas A&M, and signed the richest contract in college football history, a 10-year deal worth a reported $75 million, fully guaranteed.

Athletic director Scott Stricklin had already stated after the introductory news conference Monday that Dan Mullen would make $6 million per year with a flat $12 million buyout that would be reduced once the money owed to the coach dipped below that threshold, while Mullen would owe the school $2 million if he left for another job.

To hire a top football coach in 2017, the going rate is between $5 and 7.5 million per year.

Agents for Mike Norvell, Kevin Sumlin and others will start the bidding there.
