What are you talking about? That's what allowed us to pay more $ for better coordinators? Dear god

You are worth what the market deems you are worth. O did LSU no favors by accepting 3.5 mil...in fact, if Alleva had said $2.5 mil, what was O going to do, not take it? What school was he about to then go to where he was going to make anything approaching that number? And please stop with this insane theory that O took less so LSU could pay their coordinators more. LSU was going to pay their coordinators WHAT THE MARKET DICTATED! Aranda was going to get his money regardless if we paid O $3.5 mil, Herman $5 mil, Les $5.5 mil, or Jimbo $6 mil. And couldn't you just as easily (or probably more easily) make the argument that you have to pay coordinators top $$ b/c the coach you hired is not particularly adept at either side of the ball? You wouldn't have NEEDED a $1mil offensive coordinator if you hired the likes of Jimbo or Herman.
