Tom Herman gave LSU a $6M figure, and Alleva said no.

Again, LSU was not willing to pay. Never was. They wanted to create the illusion that they are serious.

To be fair, if you read the twitter replies in the link even Texas fans are saying $6mil is too much.

Herman will win championships. You pay money and take risks to win championships

Orgeron will not win championships. We will see many and many FL games

Honest question.

If he goes to the playoffs next year, will we be agreeing with Alleva's decision?

$6M is not too much. The opportunity cost of paying $6M for Herman is having to pay $3M to O and $4M to Kiffin and Aranda. With Herman, LSU wouldn't have to pay $2M for an offensive coordinator.

I could see 4 million. Herman hasn't won anything yet and is already demanding 6 million? That's fricking insane. He's only been a head coach for two years. You don't just pay someone that kind of money when you really don't have a full picture of what you're getting. Yes, he was successful at Houston but it's not like you're hiring someone that has already ran a big program and had success. That's a lot of money for a someone that would be going into their third season as a head coach. I don't like the Orgeron hire but Jimbo wanted a 10 year contract and Herman wants more money than he's proved he's worth. There's other coaches we probably should have talked to but they apparently wanted Orgeron so that's what we got.

I'd rather pay Jimbo $7mm than Herman $6mm

He hasn't earned it

LSU isn't saving much money though. LSU is about to pay an offensive coordinator more than 2 million dollars.
