Would Aranda come to LSU for 6m or less?

I like Aranda but we shouldn't be bargain hunting for a coach. If there's a better available coach that costs more money then get him over Aranda.
Aranda is in my top tier2 level of coaches.

Easily.
It's not even a question.
Aranda loved lsu.

I think 4m range is the final offer for Aranda or Napier. Tucker probably demands in the neighborhood of 5-6.
I'm not even going to comment on Riley because it's just too unrealistic. He's not making a lateral move, and Oklahoma would match anything we could possibly offer.

If that's the offer frick it let's do it. Aranda would be a great hire especially after shelling out 30 million.

Why would any fan who is not contributing to the salary care about how much LSU spends? There is no salary cap. If the money is there, spend it to get the best coach possible.
Watch....when the new coach is announced, there will be TONS of fans whining about how much the salary is.

They aren't going to budget hunt for a coach and they shouldn't.

Is there any proof Aranda can recruit and sustain an entire program?

Because it's a reasonable assumption that if the HC is paid exorbitant amounts of money that will leave a smaller pool of money to pay quality assistants.

You just said why! I don't understand why this concept is so hard to grasp. For some stupid reason we only used booster money for that buyout and the Les Miles buyout--that money is not unlimited. We do not have the boosters that Bama and aTm and Georgia have. It's mostly old oil money--not tech / big business money.
I've said this a million times, it affects the team if the boosters get tired of shelling out 10 million dollars/yr every time we have a head coach and risking another 30 million buyout. It's not unlike saying "Myles Brennan's arm isn't your arm so why do you care"

It’s not your money
Posted on 10/28/21 at 5:24 pm to My Name Is Not Rick
So we should run and grab Aranda if he's cheap because his buyout will be lower. Lol

It's the boosters' money. That is not unlimited. We are not aTm.

See LSU from 2016-2019 in terms of keeping a program together. We went to dog shite in terms of organization and focus when he left. I honestly believe that if Aranda would have left with Les 2019 never happens and I would have likely been out sooner than this.
In terms of recruiting his 247 top recruits list looks good to me.

That's not backed by any recent history. LSU could have easily just told Ed to make his 2020 fires work or he's fired. Instead they paid a fortune for the buyouts and gave him a mulligan and are going to pay another fortune in buy outs. LSU in general has consistently had the highest paid assistants in the country. Bo Pelini was the 4th highest paid coordinator in the country. I may have qualms about all this cash being thrown at football rather than academic stuff, but so long as guys like Bernhard are around LSU will not have problems paying for football stuff.
Plus, the money is already there for the buyouts and a fat salary. If Woodward budgeted for a Riley and we end up with an Aranda or a Napier, I don't see why we should pay them less than 50% of what Riley would have gotten. If you want to throw more of their salary into incentives because they're less of a sure thing be my guest, but refusing to pay them outright is just a dick move that sows distrust.

That odd not how this works. You pay what someone is worth and what they will accept. They wouldn’t come otherwise and it doesn’t cause “distrust”, they just wouldn’t sign the contract and come here.

So your recommendation is to offer almost triple his current salary and have him tell you no, I don't want the job or he accepts the job solely for the money?

Who gives a shite about Myles Brennans throwing arm? What benefits to society does it bring? He’s a fricking entertainer. He should be taking adavtage of his scholarship opportunity instead of worrying about his arm. The only reason his arm or any of these players skills are worth anything is because we tune in to watch. Exactly like Kim Kardashisn. It’s play money. Pay the most to give you the coach who will bring the most entertainment (wins).

But I thought since the new tv agreement, money was going to be endless to SEC schools. Thought someone said close to $300 million between the schools so I guess its not just the boosters money, its going to be the money coming from that agreement.
