re: Bo Pelini next LSU DC - 3yr/2.3 Mil

and if we backtrack a bit and end up firing some coaches down the road, these contracts make for some VERY LARGE buyouts.

Look, O get complete credit for this year. He brought in Brady and Burrow and it worked spectacularly. Aranda was already here, so I give O some credit for keeping him here, but Aranda wasn't O's hire.

Now we need to see where we go from here. With Brady, Burrow, Aranda gone, and a ton of starters too, we'll see what happens. If O keeps this train rolling, then I can see a salary boost. But the O raise was extreme. Very extreme. And Pelini for $2M?? My god.

If we drift back to 9-3, now we've got MASSIVE coaching contracts on the books.
