Feel for the Coach. Hired as a coordinator & illness takes him down. Not all would handle the situation well.

He has a lot of knowledge to share as long as he can. His strength & courage could be quite a motivational factor for the team.

Godspeed Coach - thanks for your contribution to the Tigers.


Well said

He had one year left on his contract for $450,000.

They amended his contract to be for 3 years to go and made the salary $150,000/year which would be the same amount of money as his current contract.

It appears to me they wanted him to have 3 years of medical insurance coverage which he probably very much needs with all the medicine he's taking for his Parkinson's.


Good analysis.

A nice gesture on LSU's part, IMO.


This, plus Kragthorpe can still make some off-the-field contributions during that time and probably will want to just to stay involved. Sounds like a good deal for all concerned.
