re: REMINDER--Coach O is the ultimate team player.

Also, remember that at the time he was hired, part of his pitch was literally that he would take less and expected LSU to use the savings on the HC position to beef up the analysts on staff and pay more for coordinators and assistants. So the OP saying he's a team player and using his salary as an example is correct. He put elevating the entire staff ahead of his own personal salary. That's a team player.

this has absolutely zero to do with him being a team player. Zero.

0 shows how much of a "team player" he is when things go south and he cannot throw people under the bus fast enough. See post-Troy. See the way he handled Canada throughout that season.

Everything you cite was his survival tactics just to get a job his resume said he didn't deserve.
