600k for:
Asst Head Coach
Head of Recruiting
DL Coach

He was making around 500k with the Saints I believe...I know Orgeron himself said the first offer was fair and sounded great to him. The agent was pushing for closer to 700k, and it appears, even though I do not know if its true, that Tennessee beat the offer.

I was a little worried after about a week when we had made the offer that he hadn't accepted that this might happen...Again I can't confirm that its true but it sounds like it from the reports I've read.

Honestly I believe O would rather be at LSU but his agent is also the same as Kiffin's so it looks like the agent was p ushing him the other way, but thats just my opinion.

Coaching Changes are never official until they are signed, so I did my best in letting you guys now what was going on with the situation.

We know that we made an honest run for him. This was a typical Jimmy Sexton production, from what I saw. That dude is a cancer. Regardless, if O doesn't want to be here with a highly respectable salary, he shouldn't be here.

If O is out of the question, I'm pretty sure Brick Haley is next in line

I'm getting a little sick of your constant interest in LSU and posting on our board. You list yourself as a Tennessee fan, but are you actually an LSU fan wannabe?

He's an LSU fan. Max in on here all the time. I'm guessing he changed his team symbol to Tenn b/c of the Coach O stuff. Lay off of him. He's a good poster.

Geez, you're a real tough guy posting from your hillbilly, rocky top, hideaway. I'm a real LSU fan, as I was born and raised in New Orleans, and graduated from LSU.

Show up in Montana, and the sheepherders will give a guy like you the treatment, if you know what I mean. Then we'll see who's the bitch.
