I don't expect many newly hired head coaches to take he honeypot bait next time.

Now knowing LSU got a 30% discount on their contract with BK by honeypotting him there is no way a competent head coach is going to repeat that again. I know pussy is undefeated but damn keep your dick in your pants when millions are on the line.

With that said what are some other tactics besides honeypotting to potentially earn future contract discounts (from the University's perspective)?

I wonder if LSU set a trap for him knowing it would help them reduce the buyout and he'd be dumb enough to fall for it

Did he for sure cut a deal on his buyout?

Is this confirmed?

Honestly I bet they did. I can't imagine anyone willingly wanting to get with that guy

Why would a coach go to a school that has PI's and sets honeypots for them to reduce buyouts. It's why Auburn has to hire retreads or G5 wonders.

FWIW, I really don't think it was an intentional honeypot. It just turned out that way and LSU apparently leveraged it.

Another conspiracy theorist that probably watches News Narion all day long. The fact that you would think LSU would intentionally sabotage themselves in advance to save on a contract negotiation for a firing that hadn't happened yet is beyond next level, apocalyptic bullshite.

Morals code? What is that these days. Yesterday the reduced pay was for insubordination…
