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

CEO had some heavy hitters on his side

I think he's that stupid.

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.

If that was the case, why did he hire him to begin with. If he has so little trust in him.
Posted on 9/18/17 at 11:11 pm to Solo Cam
If he did he is a dumbass
No one wanted him, hell the only one who would want him is a high school team

No doubt
I think Alleva tried to do the right thing in 2015 and got humiliated
He went for it with Fisher and Herman and got used
So he took the path of least resistance

Virtually every coach has a buyout. Why should O be a complete and utter fool like you are?
Posted on 9/18/17 at 11:13 pm to supatigah
I'd almost feel bad for him if he hadn't got used by Miles the same way for an absurd contract extension.
Oh and for the Duke debacle. He can eat shite for that.

Why he decided to act like a jilted lover instead of making a dispassionate decision is beyond me.

12mm? No way can anyone defend that? A million or 2 at best.

Sexton probably threw out some astronomical number and years and he knew he lost when Herman said he wanted to hear from Texas. He then figured he could save face- hire O before Texas hired Herman and try and make the good ole boys happy.

Just so goddamn embarrassing that this clown is our AD.
If he had a backbone AT ALL then we land Jimbo or Herman at the end of '15.

Also that's exactly what his buyout was at Ole Miss. 75% of his salary.
High buyouts are used to protect the school from other schools stealing prized coaches. Justin Fuente had a 7 million dollar buyout at VT (which is why we didn't even go after him). No one in their right mind is going to come take Ed and no one in hell is gonna pay to take him.

You all need to quit with the buyout bullshite if you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I think when Sexton asked for $10mm for Jimbo FKA blinked
Strike one
They slow played Herman and allowed Texas to leap frog them, which is what Herman really wanted
Strike two
Alleva lost the initiative and Fat Goebbels rallied the good old boys and the players and forced Alleva's hand on "our guy"
Alleva was looking at a whole new start with his third and fourth choices so he bailed and gave the powers that be what they wanted and hired CEO
Strike three
CEO knew he had Alleva by the nuts at that point and negotiated the contract guarantee in exchange for less HC salary to put the OC/D.C. high salary narrative in play
