LSU changed CFB landscape in 1999 and will do so again

We sought out Saban, doubled his salary and paid him amongst the elite despite him not having elite success at the time. High salaries became the norm and many failed to achieve great success, but the blueprint remains.

Now, we are going to change the landscape by placing a premium on coordinators. We are paying the head coach less and will likely end up with the two highest paid coordinators.
