Coaching complacency

It's human nature to become complacent when no one is holding you accountable, especially if you have a guaranteed contract. Win or lose, Les will still get his 4.3-4.5 million, and his assistants will get their salaries as well. In essence, the university is held hostage by Les' contract and buyout. To make matters worse, he can up and leave whenever he wants, leaving LSU high and dry.

We all know Les is not going anywhere for awhile. Don't know if this legal or not, but why not see if it is possible for the LSU Board of Supervisors to restructure the FB coaches' salaries on an incentive basis. Whatever their base salaries are, they get one twelfth of their salaries for a win, and nothing for a loss. Keep the present post season incentives in place. This is certainly a way to make sure the coaches are doing their best in recruiting, player development, and game planning. If you don't have confidence in your coaching abilities, don't take the job or resign from your present job. Besides any saved monies could be used for potential buyouts.

Sounds far fetched and next to possible to implement, but most corporate executive and all pro athlete contracts are production based. Perform or you won't last long. Just tired of LSU paying tons of money for coaches who may not be performing to the best of their abilities. We'll certainly never get the truth from Les, Alleva, or the media.
