Agree. Les doesn't get paid to put on an offensive show, he gets paid to win. It's the Crow who gets paid to put on a show offensively.
UM sources are now saying the $5.2 to Harbaugh included assistant salaries as well. At least that is what they are hearing.
Correct. So you can figure no more than 2.5 million for the head coach. And that figure will not change much.
Yes the highest compemsated coach in the big ten is Iowa's coach at what Les Miles currently makes. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.8 million. I've met some very knowledgeable fans in my short time in Baton Rouge.. But at the WVU game I couldn't for the life of me have a intelligent conversation about football with the fans that were seated nearby.
There are fans that want to run Joe Paterno out of town every year. Just like In Baton Rouge.. there are a lot of haters among every fan base.
so what was your point about the LSU fanbase again? thats right, it goes on everywhere. so the point is moot by your admission.
In general the LSU fan base is passionate as any fan base in the country. Every fan base has those people that just ruin it for everyone else. But coming to this board and reading the posts here, thankfully has made me realize that not everyone is as retarded as the fans I happened to interact with on game day.
Maybe more money for coaching staff but I don't want to pay Les more. Tennessee... poor handling of qbs once Perilloux kicked us square in the nuts, hanging on to the OC responsible for a bottom of the barrel offense for three years running.
