This is what LSU balked at. Saban doesn't even have a 10 year deal.

It was almost Jimbo was asking for something totally unreasonable to make LSU go away. He knew LSU wouldn't concede to that so that it would make LSU look like it walked away.

It's like when someone is trying to sell you something, but they are asking for something so asinine that you don't even take them seriously anymore.
