He has near-total authority over personnel: backroom staff, players and coaches. Add to that the marketing tasks a college coach is involved with (booster lunches, etc.), and the higher pay of college coaches makes perfect sense to me.
He has near total authority over personnel IF he's effectively the Admissions Office...
