I would go for it if the AD would stop the insanity of giving money to LSU's general fund. It is simply the legislature underfunding the school and then extorting additional tax money from athletic donors. Stop that practice and you have the majority of the salary of the head coach paid. You also do not have to squeeze the donors for more $$$ if you have that additional money in the budget.

The bulk of that money sent to the academic side is to pay for the scholarships that all the players (in all sports) get. Yes, in several years past, there has been a transfer above & beyond, but the AD is not fully funding the academic side of the school any more than the parent of little Johnny Freshman is by paying his tuition.
But remember that without the school, there are no sports. So while you can see it as extortion on the part of the legislature, it's effective extortion because if the school closes, LSU sports disappear.
