Which is $2.5 million more than anybody would pay you.



But there was zero reason to offer Ed Orgeron 2.5 million when he had zero other options. What was he gonna do? Decline the offer and go back to being a position coach?
You dont pay 60,000$ for a Honda accord just because you buy it at a Mercedes dealership. Which is exactly what we did with Ed Orgeron.
I hope he has the most successful tenure in lsu history but there was zero reason to pay him 2.5 million and there was zero reason to give him a buyout.

Its $3.5M dude, not $2.5M, so I guess you are more upset. +/- $3M was what he was worth as the LSU coach and his 6-2 record and Ensminger opening up the offense, Aranda's tough defense and O's ties to La. got him the head gig and for a coach at LSU in 2017 $3.5M is what the market called for, and they used the extra money from Les's salary to get both coordinators.
