He put in large buy out to protect Joe.
But it doesn't protect Joe. If it went south he was never hiring the next coach.

That's not the point.
Joe was gambling that LSU would never fire him for the Orgeron hire without firing Orgeron too. In giving O that insane buyout, he was just hedging his bets.

It makes Amoeba more vulnerable, not less.
Give O a zero buyout and he can say "we didn't get the guys on our A list and he went 5-2 as interim, so it was fair to give him a chance". Not a great defense but minimal harm done.
Give O a $12 million guarantee and he looks like a complete idiot. And now when someone needs to be sacrificed to the pitchfork-wielding mob, it's a lot cheaper for it to be Amoeba than Zero.
