Why did our "top 3" include 2 we couldn't afford?

Seriously?
It's no shock Herman would get a $5 mil offer. Kirby Smart makes almost $4 mil per year. Charlie Strong made $5 mil per year at UT. Hell, Dereck Mason made $2.5 mil at Vandy.
So why were our only 2 choices (outside the backup plan) beyond our budget?

Couldn't afford or weren't willing to pay for? Big difference.

The better question is why LSU can't pay O like 200k/year if this is truly his dream job.

Bingo! No "bidding war". I think Alleva didn't want to get played.

We went cheap. Just like its 1990 again. Alleva didn't want to overpay but you have to overpay to get a guy to switch schools or give up his dream job. Alleva went into this thinking he could play hard ball because he had o locked up as his backup plan. When the other parties didnt balk he ran home and made the easy hire. What a joke.

Alleva gets played even in his dreams. He needs to be shown the door.

So what would he have been willing to pay Herman? Less than Dereck Mason? Again, it's not like Herman was going to go for anything less than $4 mil on a good day. Aleva knew that going in.

Herman isn't worth over a million. Jimbo probably had no intention of coming here and used us for a raise.

It's not about "affording" them, it's about them wanting to be here. We have egos to appease. We're not going to come after you, you must sell us on why we should pay you. Only O did that, thankfully the price was cheap. LSU is not a culture of excellence but a culture of egos, and as long as we're willing to sell power for money, that will continue.

That's what I dont get.
Closest we came to losing him was when Nichols came knocking.
We are going to give him a 500 percentage raise!
No leverage at all to do so.
Whomever says head coaches are paid a lot because we have to pay what the market requires is completely and utterly full of shite!

this grand strategy to revolutionize CFB by going cheap on the HC to blow up the coordinator market is going to be glorious to watch unfold

Not quite sure if alleva understands the market price for coaches right now.
He has no intentions of having LSU in the elite tier of college athletics. Football and men's/women's basketball are trending in the completely wrong direction of mediocrity.
