re: Why are people shocked at the overpay? Did they forget who the AD is?

I am not against the price of the contract. It is what it is. I just meant that no matter who was hired, Woody was paying a big amount. He can’t help himself.

Seriously who gives a shite? College football is big business. Unless you're a big donor why do you care?

They paid what the market was for Baker. Again, if Woody low-balled and got outbid, some would be crying that LSU is cheap. No win situation.

He pays what is required. He was paying what it took to get the guy. We outbid Mizzou. This is modern college football.
Coaches are now at a super premium, coordinators are at a premium. Admittedly, Woodward was part of the group of ADs who had a hand in that.
Go cheap and you are likely to get a bad coordinator or stumble upon a hidden gem then end up in a bidding war to keep him. Either way, you are paying.

Do you want the coaches who are believed to be the best in the business or not? Because if you want the best, yes you absolutely are going to have to pay for them. Some of you foolishly believe we can have it both ways. It's simply not the case.

Are you related to the late Joe Dean, while I loved him as the color analyst for SEC basketball back in the 1970's and 80's when I really followed College BB, he stunk as AD at LSU. Did everything on the cheap, which is why LSU stunk in the 90's.

To get sought after coaches you gotta pay. Woodward isn’t a bargain shopper. Trying to win not just compete
