You implied I was lying. That repost was proof that I was not lying, while at the same time, it exposed you as a liar.
It also goes to show how spectacularly wrong you have been on issues inre women's basketball at LSU, AD finances, and Caldwell, in general.

she was STILL worth the $700k/year that she was paid. At the time that was the market and that's what we needed to pay. The fact that it appears it isn't working out, is irrelevant..

Nope...................there's nothing that I've said about coach Caldwell and the WBB program that has been "spectacularly" wrong. In fact, since I actually follow the program I'm pretty sure I know much more about it, the "AD finances" and coach Caldwell than you appear to know. You're just some guy who peeks into the threads about WBB every once in a while, and tries to give his uninformed opinion about it.
Again, if you're not gonna post the link to the ENTIRE thread, then you're just randomly pulling quotes outta the air. Please come back on this thread when you actually understand what it is you're talking about.
However, I do still stand by the fact that the coach was worth the contract that was given to her. It appears that you seem to want to be a revisionist and say she wasn't, based upon the fact that she hasn't taken the team to the final four. Well, it don't work that way Sherlock. The MARKET determines what coaches are worth. If LSU had to do it all over again, and she (or any other coach for that matter) had the exact same resume she had at UCLA, she would STILL be worth what we offered at the time.
It sucks that it hasn't worked out. But that's the chance you take when you hire ANY coach. So now, LSU has a decision to make. Either keep her and allow her a year to try and turn it around OR................buy out her contract and go back on the market for a new coach. But keep in mind, if you're desire is to have an elite basketball program, you're STILL gonna have to pay close to $1 million. If you want to have a program that is a perennial top 25 program, but regularly gets eliminated in the sweet sixteen or earlier, you CAN indeed get a coach for less than that..............considerably less.
