Posted this in the other thread

1. Matt Luke, Georgia — $900,000
2. Will Friend, Tennessee — $805,000
3. Bill Bedebaugh, Oklahoma — $750,000
4. Justin Frye, UCLA — $700,000
5. Eric Wolford, South Carolina — $700,000
6. Kyle Flood, Alabama — $650,000
6. Herb Hand, Texas — $650,000
8. Robbie Caldwell, Clemson — $640,000
9. Ed Warinner, Michigan — $625,000
10. Josh Henson, Texas A&M — $605,000

Cregg is about 100k short of that list but is still in line with his salary range among some great OL coaches. A lot of great names on that list and some have higher salary because they have secondary titles like assistant coach. That was salaries last year don't know about 2021. Is Cregg getting the performance for his pay? I don't think so. In line recruiting for a great class doesn't = great class. They have to sign first. He has been dog shite in recruiting for 3 years now and has 2 mediocre to bad offensive lines. You can give him a pass the first year.

If that's the top pay for OL coaches LSU can do better for minimum. Not saying they can poach these guys I'm saying they can find a better coach for the pay they're dishing out.

Aren't you forgetting something? Hey professor coach we beat everyone of those teams we played on your list at least once with Cregg on our staff. Apparently Cregg out coached those "great names" on your list.

Once again professor coach why did O keep Cregg when he has shown us he will fire coaches if they don't perform? He cleaned house this year yet kept Cregg.

I think your posting is dog shite. Cregg hasn't been nearly as bad as you tools make him out to be. Sure he has missed on some big name prospects in the last couple of cycles but so has every other team that didn't sign them. It sucks that we missed on them but he is in the final decision.

Just need to figure how to close better. But looks like we should be strong this year and a good class next year. It is not nearly as bad as the crybabies make it out to be.

So you are saying that Cregg is not in the top half of the SEC, and not in the top 10 nationally in pay, but he is overpaid?

Discussions about what coaches are paid are stupid to begin with.
