I am the last one that wants O extended, but he really can’t walk into a living room and promise a mother that he’s going to take care of her baby if his contract is only 2-3 more years.
That’s BS. If he’s winning then everyone knows he can stay as long as he wants. The only people who worry about that are mediocre or terrible coaches.

You don't really understand how recruiting works. There needs to at least be the illusion of long-term security. Orgeron has three years left, but I believe in December his buyout is only around $3.5 million. That resets to $5 million in January. That's an extremely low number when compared to the coaches he's recruiting against.
They'll probably do something where they add a couple of years and bump the buyout. He's definitely going to be here through next season, so I'm figuring they bump the buyout to around $10 million and it reduces throughout the year by the amount he's been paid, so by the end of next season it's down to around $6 million.
Basically, they're just going to be guaranteeing another year of his salary.
As much as we'd like to be able to not guarantee anything and break an underperforming coach off without financial repercussions, that's simply not possible without seriously jeopardizing the lifeblood of the program, recruiting.

That’s not how recruiting works. Look, I hated the O hire, and still don’t like O being our coach AT ALL. But Saban, Jimbo and Kirby will really come and cherry pick Louisiana talent if O doesn’t have 4 years left on his contract. If it were me, and not Alleva, I’d tell O he can have the 4th year, but his buyout is going bye bye. But I’m not Alleva, and Joe is retarded when it comes to most things, especially coaches contracts.
ETA: If O is going to continue to be mediocre and only win 8-9 games a year(which will probably happen), the least he can do is leave some talent for the next coach.
