From the best of my research

Les Miles: $9.6 million
Matt Canada: $1.7 million
Johnny Jones: $1.2 million
Cam Cameron: $600,000
Dameyune Craig: $575,000

It's probably more because I can't find numbers on Juluke or Jones' basketball staff. Pretty absurd.

Because they both took other jobs. Juluke at Texas Tech and Johnny at Nevada.

And have hired the d-line coach as HC, and about to hire the tight end coach as OC.

Brilliant.

Crazy to think we wouldn't buy Les out in 2015 due to optics and now here we are. We got Ogeron instead of Jimbo over the fear of optics.

I thought Craig got caught recruiting for another school? Sucks we had to pay buy out.

It's not "their" money they are throwing away...it's "ours".

Like politicians, they don't give a %#^!

But it is our money.

Whether directly or indirectly.

Obviously the majority of it is Miles. That's not all on Alleva, he didn't hire him and he wasn't the only one who wanted him out.

But when you start paying millions to get rid of guys that Alleva hire or guys that Alleva's coaches hired...those are indictments on Alleva. LSU can't continue to piss away money because he's hiring a circus.

IF, one is a TAF contributor....it IS indeed your money ! IF our BOS and athletic dept, admins were publicly elected officials, I don't see how they could avoid malfeasance in office charges !!!
