I was surprised that O got such a large buyout, but GDF is right... https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/l...ntract-details-lsu-coach-ed-orgeron-released/ The big incentives make sense, but I agree with GDF that a huge buyout was not called for. The only justification I can think of for the buyout is that it was meant to assure recruits of stability.
Because he was having withdrawals from giving one to Les each year often after choking away the west. Most were in disbelief when they saw the amount Oeaux was due once he's shitcanned.
Yep... I'm with you. I really, really hope that I'm wrong but I still see this ending in disaster for LSU.
I'm with most of having an uneasy feeling. Being in the same boat with @StaceyO, I fear going back to the years between Mac and Saban. As far as the buyout it seems like the tail is wagging the dog. Alleva should have been the admin and impressed on O the importance of succeeding by not giving him that much security. Instead he gave him a mulligan because O knows he will not be fired with that parachute. Alleva got played but most of us are not surprised!!! I swear he and King will ruin us.
He probably insisted on it so he will be free to take a job at the next Blueblood U that needs a coach. Either that or the NBA
