Not nearly as over paid as Jimbo

They were paid the same amount.

O is still getting paid millions not to work.

O got 17.5 million for the life of his contract. Jimbo makes more than that in 2 years and is guaranteed through 2034

"LSU athletic director Scott Woodward signed Orgeron to a six-year, $42 million extension in January 2020. The contract included a $6 million base salary and a $5 million life insurance policy split over the first two years of the deal. Woodward, who did not hire Orgeron, was named LSU's athletic director in April 2019.Oct 17, 2021"

"No. 6 Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher have agreed on a new contract extension that will keep the national championship-winning coach in College Station through the 2031 season. The new, more lucrative deal will pay Fisher nearly $95 million over the next 10 years -- about 25% more than he was making. He'll start by earning $9 million during the 2022 calendar year, then $9.15 million in 2023. Beyond that, he'll earn $100,000 raises every year for the life of the contract -- which is fully guaranteed, according to The Athletic's Sam Khan.

The deal pushes Fisher past LSU coach Ed Orgeron to the second-highest paid coach in college football. Only Nick Saban earns more.

"The investment Texas A&M University is making in our program, coaching staff and facilities speaks to the vision of our leadership and their commitment to long-term success," Fisher said in a statement. "It is an honor to be the head football coach at Texas A&M and although I am proud of the strides we've made, we ain't done yet!"

The new deal replaces the previous 10-year, $75 million contract that the school gave to Fisher upon hiring him in 2018. Now in his fourth year, Fisher is is 26-10 overall with a 17-8 record in the SEC, but that includes a 9-1 showing in 2020 that put the Aggies on the brink of a College Football Playoff berth. A&M finished fifth in the final CFP rankings, one spot behind Notre Dame, and defeated North Carolina in the Orange Bowl.
