re: The Orgeron Extension Talk: Why?

1.) He's got 3 years left on his deal. a 2 year extension is the right thing to do.

2.) Considering what we looked like last Spring, he (and his staff) coached us up to a 10-3 season. He's done a nice job of roster management and motivating our team.

3.) When Les was here, he was Top 5-Top 10 highest paid HC. Granted, Les had some real skins on the wall, but.... it's LSU. We've paid our HC well since Saban was here.

4.) At $3.5 mill, there were 35 other sitting HC's that made more than he did last year.
