With their operating budget 137k is nothing. Especially if it prevents them from bringing it the wrong guy.

You'd think that. Then Tennessee came along and said "Hold my beer."

The same firm LSU used to hire the interim shrimp boat captain. We were just smart enough not to saddle ourselves with a 12 million buyout.


The same shrimp boat captain that whiped the floor with your shitty team twice in a row?

Or are you talking about a different one?

So - LSU has a guy on staff making about $1M yearly that picked a guy on staff. Seems to be working so far .......

How is that Oxford AD Bjork still employed?

Turns out, Bjork did hire a sitting Power 5 head coach. He happened to be sitting in a chair in the Ole Miss head coaches’ office.

So, you're saying they could have hired a high class prostitute and ended up with the same recommendation?

Ole Miss spent $137,000 with Turnkey Search firm on this one.
So, like, the equivalent of what LSU pays Les Miles over the course of 23 days to NOT coach the team? Yeah, I don't think that's too much.

Congratulations! He beat, as you put it, our shitty program two years in a row! Huzzah!

Also, $12 million dollar buyout.

What the hell are you even trying to prove? Our coach has a high buyout, so what?

Your whole football program blows... you can’t say shite to anyone in the SEC right now except Tennessee fans

You're the one that jumped into the conversation in an attempt to justify your AD hiring a search firm only to offer the interim coach the job with a $12 million dollar buyout and the only rebuttal is he beat Ole Miss two years in a row but continually say how shitty Ole Miss program is.

Are you thumping your chest that O beat us two years in a row to justify LSU hiring him and giving a buyout you can't afford?
