Thanks

I really hate the thought of throwing stupid money at someone

I’d like for them to want to be here and not have some sort of mercenary approach that just because it was so much money that he couldn’t pass it up

I don’t understand letting one recruiting/transfer cycle deter you from getting the guy you want especially in the portal era. If Kirby Smart decided he was tired of Georgia (that’s his alma mater, just using it as an example) and wanted to come to LSU but wouldn’t come until Georgia was done in the CFP, you wouldn’t take him?

If you decide Kiffin, Sumrall or any playoff coach is your guy and you can strike a deal in advance, it’s worth burning a recruiting/transfer portal cycle if you’re getting the guy you really want.

Or you can hire another Kelly, who was so-so in recruiting, and continue to have take talent deficiencies over a 4-year period even though you never really missed a recruiting/transfer cycle with him.

Would he bail right after playoffs? Rumors would be flying all dec and jan while other schools are making hires you would have the school targeting LK not hiring yet.

Let me ask my buddy. Naw he says he will pay him 12 million base and 1 million per SEC win, 2 million for every playoff win, and another 5 for a natty.
