It's only $2.5 million if he leaves for another job.

Okay, let’s use 2.5 million plus at least 7 million salary (current salary is 5.6, so he ain’t leaving a comfortable job in a major conference for less then 7 mil) equals 9.5 million this coming year to get Mel Tucker. The diversity crowd just won’t let up.

@ChrisVannini

Mel Tucker's buyout if he leaves for another job is $6 million before Jan. 15, 2021, but drops to $2.5 million the next year w/ annual $500k drops from there.

Buyout if he's fired is 85% of remaining contract (so ~$23m after year 1) subject to offset, paid monthly.

Rabalais is getting played, or is just throwing shite on the wall for attention.

I don't either but I haven't been convinced it would be a tragedy if it happens.


Riley is the dream for me, but my realistic candidate is Aranda.

I’m going to say this one more time. Mel Tucker is not going to be the head coach at LSU. He isn’t ready for a job of this status.
Then for that matter neither is Aranda

Rabalais can’t write . His columns are all purple prose . The Advocate is woke , so Rabalais plays along .

At the end of the day, of course we and Scotty care about the incoming class, but no way Scotty goes way down his list to save one class versus adding stability for years to come.



It sounds like woodward is really worried about this recruiting class, which he should. Imo he is too worried about it.

My number one fluctuates between Tucker and Aranda.

But man, if Tucker could tap into that big corn-fed pool of Midwest offensive linemen, I’d say sign him up and break the bank.

Again I don’t dislike Tucker but who do you think is a better football coach? Him or Aranda?

Aranda’s defenses >>>> Tuckers and he’s a much better LB coach then Tucker is a DB coach

I don’t give a shite about Tucker working the portal. That’s a stop gap fix and not a sustainable way to recruit especially at LSU so everyone can kindly drop that angle.

Tucker should really only be in the mix it Dave says no. Dave is a football savant. Tucker is just a solid coach.
