Did Alleva put the buyout in to protect O?

I think everyone (including Joe) knows that Alleva's job security is directly tied to O's. The only explanation I can find to this astronomical buyout is a that Allevais trying to protect O and give him as much time as possible.

There's no other way in hell that he is dumb enough to negotiate at 12 million dollar buyout to a coach with a losing record, begging for the job. I just can't bring myself to believe that he's that inept.

There's no way in hell that we pay 22 million for coaches not to be here, but is there a chance of Joe getting fired if we lose 5+ ?

Good Question. Also the LSU Bos Deep State boys are also to blame for this. How do you allow such a huge buyout like this...

It's a fair point, but if it's obvious Orgeron is not the answer after next season, Alleva will be fired first anyway

We should go ahead and crowdfund the buyout and get rid of Alleva and O.

Do we know, for sure, that there is a buyout? Maybe some poster just wrote it. Has some reputable source written, or said, this? I agree with your post; it simply defies belief.

Virtually every coach has a buyout. Why should O be a complete and utter fool like you are?

I heard from someone really connected in the Athletic's Department that Coach O actually negotiated the higher buyout/lower salary finances so that he had time to implement his system. I have no reason to doubt the guy hasn't steered me wrong yet.
