$10mil Head Coach or $10mil NIL Budget?

[AGLamb]

Saw this posted on reddit and thought it would be a nice off season debate

Would you rather have your program run by one of the top head coaches in the sport, whose salaries usually come in around $10 million these days. Think Saban, Smart, Day, Kelly, Riley but your NIL budget shrinks to just $1 million for the entire roster each year. Or would you rather have $10 million to spend on players, being able to buy one of the best rosters each year, but your head coach only makes about $1 million per year. Think Jason Candle, Mike McIntyre, Jim Mora Jr.

The NIL market is a little bit of a fog of war right now, but the estimation is that 5-8 million a year gets you a pretty solid P5 roster and 10-12 is where the big boys play.
So, does success start at the top or is it all about the Jimmies and the Joes?

TL;DR - would you rather have:

• $10mil to pay your HC a year
• $1mil in annual NIL budget

or

• $10mil in NIL annually
• $1mil salary for the HC

For the sake of argument let's say supporting staff would be paid average salary for the conference, no one would outearn the HC.
