I swear people like you live on a different fricking dimension than everyone else
How was that not a bad contract for LSU? It literally makes no sense.

Is it possible that Alleva knowing his days were numbered concocted a backdoor deal with O. To give him a stupid contract and O kick some money back to Alleva.

Everyone but you, Aleva, and CEO.
And CEO is Aleva's bitch so he will do anything he says

You have to ask yourself...what leverage did O have for ANY kind of buyout. Who were we competing against? If we told O we would give him a 4 year $2M salary with a .39 cent buyout....would he have declined?

It just amazes me people think firing CEO is an option at the end of year 1
I believe it's the only option.

I'm pretty sure they would understand that we made a huge mistake.

“ sees that his decision on HC is a potential train wreck”
I don’t doubt that and the really scary part, for me, is that he didn’t see the potential for that when he made the hire.
Who among us LSU fans couldn’t have made the hire that Joe made? Really...is there anyone among us who if we had been given the LSU AD gig last Dec. who couldn’t have hired Coach O for the same salary and buyout??? What’s that say bout the job Joe did?

The salary was pretty reasonable for the position (not necessarily the candidate, but it is what it is).
It is the buyout that is laughably bad for LSU.
Realistically, the contract should have been ~$4 million/year for 3 years, with the first year guaranteed, and a 25% buyout for the unexpired portion. O would have been in no position to say no.
So, we'd have paid him $4 million for this year and to fire him at the end of the season would have been about $2 million.
The buyout that is rumored (confirmed?) to be in place is clearly not to protect O or to enticed him to sign at a lower salary. It is to protect Alleva. As Alleva is an agent of LSU, not Orgeron, he should be fired for this clause alone - regardless if O never loses another game.

Yes. and the mouth breathing blind loyalists hate Chris Landry's guts so it tells me even more it's true.

The real question is this: Does Alleva make O address him as "Vice Chancellor"?
Posted on 10/12/17 at 2:36 pm to jonboy
I repeatedly hear the argument: "what will other potential coaches think of LSU if it fires Orgeron after only one year?"
Under other circumstances, this is a fair point.
But what do other coaches already think of us because we HIRED Orgeron?
That issue may be more damaging,in the long run.
In short, we fired him because of a lucid interval...

I was at the facilities on Sunday and saw all the coaches and Alleva was no where around.

I can tell u for a fact. No coaches leaked anything. It's a made up story to get hits. That didn't happen.

Lol.
Uh no. The Advocate already confirmed the meeting with all coaches well before Landry came out with anything.
It's funny to me that people are debating whether it is rumor or whatnot. IT IS CONFIRMED lol.

No shite they had a meeting. What they said went on is 100% false.

It's funny u think I'm saying no meeting took place.
Posted on 10/12/17 at 5:30 pm to Smalls
I wonder if Alleva knows the difference between and Eagle, Shade, or 3-Technique?

Ok Derek, what was it about then?

Aranda told him to watch out for the buck sweep, O ran and got his rut spray.

There's no sense in trying to divert the public's attention. The facts are out there for all to see, no putting the genie back in the bottle on this one.
And FWIW, you know as well as I Chris Landry didn't make up one word.
