So $1.3M with no Miles clause.

My question is, since he has yet to prove himself in SEC, did LSU pay too much? His pay is only going to increase from $1.3M over his 3 yr contract.

I personally think LSU should have started @ $1.0M. I know some of you would say Miami was offering him that much. Ask yourself, what would his choice be between LSU and Miami. We could have easily got him for cheaper price.

That said, in grand scheme of things $300K is nothing if he brings that 2011 spunk back in this team.

Overpaid?
Did you see what Auburn paid Steel?
This actually feels like a steal..

Man, I love the rant. We hire a GREAT DC and now some are bitching because we may have overpaid.

If we went with a lower number and he went elsewhere and it was discovered then people would have bitched about being cheap.

Man this place never fails to deliver...

We're getting 500k from Steele leaving anyway, no way we overpaid.

There were vague rumblings he had a 1.2m offer from another school as well

This thread is a bad idea. Should just delete it.

Based on miles situation with alleva we are very fortunate aranda agreed to even come. I have no problem if we had to overpay him. I think he will more than earn his pay.

Kind of a pointless thread considering you weren't involved in the negotiations and you don't know what it required getting him here. Plus your assumption that any coach would prefer LSU over another school is based on the fan goggles you have on

Overpaid would be what LSU was paying Steele then Auburn decided to pay him. The guy has accomplished absolutely nothing as a DC to be getting paid what he is. At least Aranda has success everywhere he goes. Instead, Steele had arguably the worst defense at LSU in 15 years and you want to call Aranda overpaid? Please.

Speaking of contracts; does (did) Aranda have one in his contract with Whisky? I don't recall it ever being mentioned?
TIA

Downvote #65...

There is literally nothing...and I mean NOTHING...that LSU fans won't find to fricking complain about. Last year it was we went too cheap...now it's we paid too much.

Honestly...most of our fans don't deserve the program we've got, let alone the one they think they're owed.

LSU should pay whatever it takes to get the man they want. Every year there is a surplus in the athletic department. Use the money to win. I don't care what the staff gets paid if they continue to improve and win national championships. It's good for the school.

you pay for quality and if you don't pay you dont get quality
