I saw A&M poach Florida States Coach


Giving him the richest contract in college football history isn’t really what poaching a coach looks like.

In your opinion, after Jimbo’s last season, would you have spent $75 million of LSU’s money over a 10 year commitment?

When I read those terms, I was glad Alleva did not throw that much green at Fisher. If we paid Fisher that much, we might not have been able to keep Aranda.

It’s a valid argument to say it was a bad idea to throw that money at Fisher.

It’s also a valid argument to say that, comparatively, it was a far worse idea to make Orgeron the HC.

I remember LSU fans bitching about paying Saban too much.

No. But I wouldn’t base the entire hire off of 1 season. Especially since his starting QB was injured the entire year and they started a true freshman. Those facts may hurt your argument though
.

If the decision was: Go cheap and get Orgeron or spend 4x that and get Jimbo, then I chose Jimbo every fuching time.

Let me as you this:

Would you rather spend 20 million for 5 years of O or 75 for 10 years of Jimbo?

You truly have no concept on how much money the football program makes every year, do you?

That's exactly what it looks like.
