I agree with you and want to see Nikki gone and them bring in either a well established coach with success or a bright up and comer.

However, to be fair, MSU only hired a new coach b/c TX took theirs; so it's not like they were paying a buyout to fire and hire a new coach. They are likely saving money by paying the new one less. Hell, TX may have even had to pay MSU to get Shaefer.

700K+ for 10 years for what? No NCAA and a losing record in SEC this year and Nikki will leave after this year with an overall SEC losing record and $7M+...Thanks Joe, Thanks Miriam

I'll have to look it up; but I'm pretty sure this isn't accurate on her buyout. From what I remember, when they did her new contract, they actually lessened the buyout, even though they were lengthening the contract. The one smart thing Alleva actually did in that situation.

ETA: Never mind, I just re-read your statement and get what you are saying now. Thought you were referencing her buyout.

For what it is worth though, here is a link to when the extension was discussed back in 2018. If they fired her after this season, I think LSU would only owe her $200k; so that's very doable. LINK
