I don't have a problem with the metric, but shouldn't the three-year outlay also include buy-outs?

Assuming that is correct, and the actual numbers are correct, there are a few interesting bits. 

Shaw made less in the most recent year (not 2018) than the average the two previous. 
$4.3 million versus avg of $4.9 million. 
incentives? 

Particularly given that the Stanford numbers are reportedly two years older than everyone else's, it appears Shaw is the highest paid coach in the conference. 

Leach got a big raise for 2018
2018 = $3.5 million. Previous 2 year avg = $1.63 million. 

Kelly is making a little less than Mora was. 
$3.3 million versus $3.5 million.

Riich Rodriguez was making a lot more than Sumlin
Sumlin $2.0 million. Rodriguez two previous years avg $4.45 million
