Capitalism is alive and well in the SEC, leading to high dollar contracts and luxurious homes.

The East has several new faces, but the game is still the same. Those brave enough to take SEC coaching jobs will be rewarded with the lifestyle that comes along with it.

Here’s a look at the homes of SEC East coaches.

Jim McElwain, Florida

As is evident by the mountainous sunset in the background, this coaching crib isn’t in the great state of Florida, but instead in Colorado. If he does have a permanent residence in Gainesville, mum’s been the word. If Coach Mac can swing this kind of lifestyle in the Mountain West, it should be interesting to see his new SEC crib.

This comparatively modest house is still back in Tuscaloosa, as Smart’s new place in Athens remains to be seen. Smart will make $3.75 million this year. If this is the kind of setup that an SEC coordinator can afford, it makes sense that Kirby was in no rush to leave Alabama.

Mark Stoops, Kentucky

This Sopranos-esque manor in Lexington is perfect for the no-nonsense Stoops, who will make $3.5 million this year. With his hefty contract, he can entertain recruits at an elite level.

Will Muschamp, South Carolina

Muschamp, who will make $3 million this year, looks to be enjoying Colombia nicely, with one of the nicest houses on the list. This island home is perfect for relaxing, game planning, and plotting to overthrow the Justice League.

Butch Jones, Tennessee

If Jones’ house is any indication, he’ll have Tennessee built in to a national power in no time. At $4.13 million, he’s the second-highest paid coach in the East. Featuring the most unique driveways on the list, Jones will find it hard to hide from the angry mobs if he fails.

Both Odom and Mason have found a way to hide their homes from spectators. In an age where the media, as well as the ever present Google search are getting smarter by the day, this is a feat onto itself.
