Compensation Oversight at The University Of Texas-Austin

While it is understandable to me that the University of Texas, after a horrible football season, would want to replace its offensive and defensive coordinators and their respective staffs, how can they justify enormous salary increases to attract people from Boise State and Mississippi State?  Come on.  Don't give me that argument that you have to pay big bucks to get the best staff.  Going from a small school to a giant powerhouse should be enough to attract good coaches. Offering them over twice (or three times) their former compensation makes no sense.  Who is in charge of compensation?  Who in their right mind could approve such increases in salary at a time when other parts of the University are making cuts?
