I think he is lying and would accept that job

It depends on his values. LSU is a much easier job because the advantages LSU baseball has over the competition is greater than any other in sports that I can think of. We can outspend everyone on recruits and facilities, and we have the best recent tradition.

If it’s money he’s after, then LSU is better than most MLB managing positions but not as good as the Yankees. So if it’s fame and money, he should favor the Yankees but not most of MLB. If it’s long term security with an easy chance of dominating, then it’s LSU.
