re: We passed on Herman for $6M. How is $3.5M for Orgeron not Overpaying?

LSU is pioneering a change in CFB. Give a motivator/delegator the HC job for significantly less than others and hire the top offensive and defensive minds for top money and be able to retain them. LSU'S success moving forward will change everything about CFB coaching
I hope you are right about that. However, LSU was already employing this strategy while overpaying for Miles. We've had great DCs but were horribly overpaying Cameron. Unless a team "hits" on both its OC and DC the best you can expect is an 8 or 9 win season. If a team does hit, in my opinion, it's still a long shot that it will win a championship. I think for that, you need an elite HC that instills a culture of excellence like Saban, Harbaugh and Meyer.
Can anyone credibly argue that O is an elite HC? Is it reasonable to assume that he will grow into that role?
Since it is not reasonable to assume O is that kind of guy, the best he can be considered is a sort of caretaker who will keep the program from sliding until we hire an elite coach 3 or 4 years from now.
Does anyone dispute this?

Herman wasn't coming here. We weren't going to be used as leverage for Herman to get the best deal out of TX.
There are reports that Herman told LSU he'd accept a $6M deal.
If true, all Alleva needed to do was agree to those terms but not a dollar more and tell Herman to sign his contract by tonight.
Anything after that, fine - go for O. But I get the sense Alleva just threw his hands up and said no.

What has Herman accomplished to deserve 2M?

Then they should try to get a wet dream OC and plan on replacing O with either him or Aranda, if Aranda stays.
