Maybe, just maybe, Alleva knew what he was doing? No way we could have won a bidding war with Texas, right?

If you don't win you at least force them to pay a higher price. Bowing out at the notion is such a pussy move.

Alleva was never going to spend the money. We have an administration that is weak and not concerned with doing what it takes to make LSU a contender year in and year out.

There was never going to be a bidding war. Especially over an unproven coach. Alleva didn't want the financial burden. He made the safe choice.

In 3-4 years we'll know more about Orgeron's coaching abilities without any financial repercussions if he doesn't pan out. We'll also know more about PJ Fleck, Jeff Brohm, Matt Rhule, Phil Montgomery, Mike Norvell, Chad Morris, Willie Taggart.. AND we'll have a roster loaded with talent to boot. Maybe they thought about this, too.

If Herman was using us for leverage over Texas, why give him that leverage? Herman just signed a deal for $5 mil when he was hoping for $6 or $7 mil. Hell, Alleva just cost Herman about $2 mil per year. How's that for a "frick off" message?


, is that what LSU has become?

A school that screws the hired coach out of money by not negotiating more?

Yea, that'll show that coach for signing somewhere else

Well the gay admins at Texas saw Tom Herman kissing all of his football players at Houston and viewed it as an expression of gay pride. Hence, once they saw Herman kissing all those football players, no way they would have lost a bidding war for Tom Herman.

Yes, yes, it may have been his "dream job," etc.

But god, they fire a coach and hire the hottest young coach in America, an offensive genius, in less than 24 hours. I'm blown away by that.

Compare that to our shitshow.
