some would be crying that LSU is cheap.

Also, the athletic department at LSU is demonstrating that it is willing to pay top dollar for top assistants. That may seem “too expensive” for a lot of fans, but it means something to these assistants. They know if they want to get paid, LSU is willing to pay. So it’s also an investment in our future coaching prospects. Again, it may seem silly to fans, but it’s anything but silly to these coaches that want more cash.
