Now there is talk of buying out this current round of mistakes. This doesn't seem like a sustainable trajectory for the program.

Coach o should foot 100% of this buyout. This is squarely on him.

Buying out more of Coach O's mistakes and dishing out new contacts with new buyouts is fairly unappealing.

It’s only sustainable if you have sustained success—regular playoff appearances. Otherwise the program will be up shits creek.

Alabama underpays their coordinators because the want to coach with Saban. LSU has to grossly overpay coordinators because they have to coach with the shrimp boat captain.

It’s just money and LSU has plenty of it.

Nobody was bitching about money last season

Both his coordinators are Les hires. This after he touted he would bring the best coordinators in college football to LSU. It seems we have major problems. You can argue and blame the pandemic. But a complete collapse?

Bo Pelini should've never gotten such a big contract in the first place. Highly doubt there was a market for Pelini to make him such a highly paid FBS coordinator. Pelini himself wanted to resurrect his career, we didn't need to overpay for that shite.

That what pisses me off. Fine-you think he's your man, get him. But then to overpay him makes this an unsustainable endeavor.

In the process we lost 5-star Marcel Brooks, 4-star Ika and a few other players. The Bo P. hire has been a complete disaster.

How much for all this?

CEO is on the clock now. Lsu, the fan base, the players, etc. should never accept another coordinator buyout under Ed. after Pelini et al.

Is this coming out of your bank account? Why do you care? The entire economics of college football are out of whack to begin with. Someone higher up the chain than you determined that paying buyouts on top of new contracts is financially more responsible than to keep shitty coaches and not pay buyouts and pay for new coaches. If they put buyouts into the contracts, they have a plan for dealing with them.

We’re LSU. Money is never a factor. You’re over here trying to argue that firing Canada which led to us winning a national championship was a mistake?

People are never happy. When mistakes are made O has shown a willingness to correct it. Last year’s $4.1 million for the playoff games more than made up for $1.7 million for Canada. Last year brought in plenty of money to make up for these mistakes.
