re: $11 million gets you 10-3, 10-3, and 8-4. Why are people complaining about O's salary?

Fine but it’s not vaporware. It’s a real thing that LSU will have to pay if it wants to upgrade at some point.

Only in a very low risk scenario. Once hired, O was going to get three years minimum. Absent a collapse, the buyout will never be triggered or it will be very low. The reason the buyout became an issue is that After Troy, it looked like the “very low risk scenario” would play out. To O’s credit, it did not.

People can dicker with whether O should have been hired, but now that he has been, the constant bitching does LSU no good. For recruiting and for future hires, LSU entered into a standard contract. And O will be here through 2019. So get used to it.
