are Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. Jimbo would be close, but Herman was a huge risk at that price. O is the safe move. LSU pays half the money, has more to spend on staff and likely has next to no buyout if a change is made in the near future. Coach O was the safest move.

PS. Sorry about the s on Meyers, so all you spelling freaks can calm down. Agree on Hardbough.

At a bare minimum you need Harbaugh there.

If you have a vision, and you think the coach can take you to the National Championship then he's worth it. Most people with half a brain think Herman is an up and coming superstar. Thus, he is worth the money.

Why do you retards think jimbo, Herman, and Orgeron were the only 3 coaches available in the country?

If you couldn't get the home run hire, fine. Spend half the money and get a second tier guy. We went straight to the 5th tier with Orgeron. Completely unacceptable

I didn't know that you were personally paying the coach.

Herman was worth it.

you pay O 3.5 but have to pay 2 mil to the OC and have to bump Aranda high enough to keep him from heading out.

In the end, you don't save the money.

Chip Kelly is making $6m/yr from SF. Give him $6.5m/yr to come back to college and do it at a place where he can actually get as many elite athletes as he wants, not just the ones that are attracted to the flashy unis and willing to travel across the country.

Why?

LSU has more than enough to pay a coach. I never understood why fans care so much about how much we pay our coach.
