We hired the next nick saban, we role out like 2-3 nat'l titles in a row, every big U calling, coach loves LSU but just wants offers matched. Can we pony up a 10 mil plus deal as well as 1% of tiger vision?

LSU does not have Texas $$$. No one does. The SEC schools with the most money are Alabama, Florida and LSU with A&M coming up pretty fast.

But the revenue earned with winning on a saban level pays itself

Ceilings can always be negotiated.

Just curious because I cant remember. What were the terms of sabans original salary in 99? Wasn't it under 1m per year?

$1.6 million a year. 3rd highest in CFB. Hadn't won jack at that point.

ETA: Emmert did his homework, turned out great for LSU. Sometimes you pay on potential.

No matter what the ceiling is, fans will say he's overpaid if he makes a mistake

I wouldn't say that, but... it's very entertaining for sure.

Yall are crazy, If we started winning like Alabama, the money will come. We have a lot of celebrity fans, a lot. Also, fans are licking their chops at us coming back to pre 2008 levels. If you build it, they will come and spend a lot of money.

I'm talking the consistency of Bama dude. We went, got blowed out, and have lost 3 games each the next two years. Also, Miles got a raise for that year anyway.

If we can go 2014-2018 with 4-5 playoff appearances, 2-3 National Championships, plus first round talent galore, I think the money starts rolling in on the bandwagon (rich posers) end. Miles will be given 6 mill (for winning) and places will be looking to offer him 7 or 8 mill. I don't see him leaving if they offer more though.

If Saban is gone, we become a one loss reg season team again, who could probably have 2 undefeated seasons in that span. Louisiana is loaded with talent for the foreseeable future, and we are right on the cusp of a dynasty.
