Riley: 12 mil? He needs some amazing defensive coaches and recruiters to be elite, and those cost a lot.

Jimbo: 11 mil or more to lure him away? Plus his staff that has a lot of buyouts to get them to come. Given he has one natty it’s not horrible, but way more for the performances he has had in recent years.

Napier and Aranda: 6 mil? Who knows who would be on their staff, but I think it’s more reasonable.

Others: how much you think the other options would cost.

Will you pay by check or direct deposit?

Pimpin' aint cheap. Get the best coach possible and they will pay for themselves. Today's overpaying could look like a value in the near future.

Because the major boosters want a real coach and are willing to pony up to make it happen.

Plus the contracts are about to go up significantly. 12 million a year won’t be that unique 5 years from now.

If the coach like Riley or Jimbo doesn’t work, why pay them that? So many people bitch on this site, so why bother even hiring them with those contracts.

Love the coaching board because it’s everyone else's money and everything is possible with our boosters.… as we’ve waited years on a new arena.

You seem really agitated

Brody, Shea, and Dellinger are all saying we’re looking to spend big on this hire, do you think they’re making that up?

What are we going to use the extra $6m on? Free Canes for home games?

Why you so worried about other people’s money??? I just don’t get the “we shouldn’t overpay” schtick as if it’s being drafted out of your own bank account.

Most of that talk ($12mm) came from phony insiders.

It’s more likely that LSU gets someone like Tucker or Napier for around $6-$8mm.

Not really. Feldman said as much as well.

LSU was paying Coach O $9m. We're getting an extra $20m from the TV rights renegotiation. I have 0 doubt in my mind we'll offer up $12m+ for one of the S tier names.

You may end up right we get someone outside of that tier (for less), but money isn't going to be an issue.

I bet there were a lot of people in the LSU athletics department who said the same thing when Saban went to Miami. Maybe we could have kept him for $8M or so, but why overpay...right?

Everyone besides me knew back then that Saban would be the GOAT of college football apparently, but why overpay.

Saban deserves that money and Dabo does too, but Riley and Fisher?
