Does CEO really have a 12 million buyout?

No. It's more than that. Goes down to $12M after 2017 concludes.

We f*kkt

We have the worst administration ever

Yes.

And yes, Alleva is that stupid.

Better just grin and bear it or if you got the funds, just whip out the old checkbook. Help your fellow Tiger Fans out.

But we need JA away from LSU before the next hire is made. That dumb motherfricker will wind up giving the job to the janitor that cleans the toilets in the football ops building.

That is truly retarded

Why in the hell did we give O that big of a buyout? We weren't in jeopardy of him going somewhere else or anything. His buyout should have been like 1 mil or the remaining current year salary

How the frick does a 3 yr, $3.5m a year contract equate to a $12m buyout? We would pay him more if we fired him than if he actually coached all three years? Am I mistaken about his salary or what am I missing?

Typical for fricked up Louisiana

You all keep calling it a buyout - but it's more like a guaranteed salary. The buyout decreases throughout the 5-year contract. After this year, it's supposedly $12M which is $2M less than 4 years (remaining) x $3.5M/yr. Don't know if they have a mathematical formula or just chose a random number after each season served.

Unless they have cause to fire him, LSU is fricked for the foreseeable future. Honestly, just have him framed for calling up escort services and save everyone the headache of the next 5 years of horrific football.

Even if buyout was smaller alleva kindof handcuffed. If we fire the coach after 1 year after a regime change and a new staff coming in it's a bad road to go down. Who would come then ?? The only way is fire the AD which is almost an automatic HC move anyway or at least a big fail this year and next. We're in this for 2-3 years and gotta hope this staff gets it together. With a lot of pressure on O and the program I don't see Raymond staying. He's a very hot commodity and someone may take a chance and offer him a D.C. Job.
