Recruits absolutely care about how committed a program is to their coach and how secure that coachs’ job is. You need a sizable buyout and 3 years guaranteed to be comfortable in recruiting.

99% of the fan base had no idea what his buyout was until there was an article in the advocate after the Mississippi State loss. And you think recruits know about it? That’s asinine. Length of the contract, sure. Buyout, no.

It's not just the comfort level of the head coach. It's the negative recruiting that could be used by schools as lowly as Southern Miss and SMU. Bama and the big boys would wipe up with the information that LSU didn't provide a sizable buyout to Eaux.

Saban: "Hey Louisisana recruit, parents, mentor and High school coaches, I will be the coach for the 4 or 5 years you are in college.

La Recruit: "Coach Eaux will also be the coach at LSU and said he will be my coach the whole time".

Saban: "Ha Ha Ha, Ha Ha Ha - Did ya'll know LSU didn't even give Coach Eaux a buyout. He could be gone tomorrow morning and it wouldn't cost the school a dime. That's how much faith they have in him. My buyout is over $20 million. Who do you think will be around to coach you your entire college career and help you make it to the NFL? Think about it recruit and parents, this is a serious business decision you have to make".
