The biggest surprise to me is that we pay him that much when no one else would even consider stealing him away for that much.

Don't make that suggestion on here. There are plenty that are certain other schools would have been lining up to throw a dump-truck full of money at O. Schools where he would have better resources and opportunity to win big than LSU. Even at $2 million or so less O would be smart enough to know LSU is the BEST opportunity he could ever imagine.

I wonder how Tom Herman feels right now knowing he turned down the LSU job that the shrimp boat captain eventually got and made millions more at LSU than he did at UT.

Where is he going to go? He is at an upper echelon program. It’s not like he is at UL or FAU. There isn’t a person on here who would not have paid the coach (any coach) $6MM to have the season we had in 2019. But, he now has to prove his worth and survive all the mess going on

Everyone knows no major football school would come for O. Therefore there's no need to give him huge raises or extensions when he's zero threat to leave. We already got tied down with the massive buyout for Miles - we don't need to do that for O. (Yes, I realize the buyout was paid by private money, but at some point those private donors will stop paying for our AD's stupidity).
And yes, the NC was spectacular and O gets credit for that. But I'm afraid that was less about O's masterful coaching and more about being a perfect storm of Burrow and Brady, both of whom are gone.

Remember, he was somewhere around $4 mil or so before then, which was still relatively low for a non-interim coach in the SEC. He was a definite bargain at the time (just for holding that job), and anything lower would have been perceived as damn near a rip-off.
You could talk about resume and track record etc, but being the HC at LSU is expected to have a payout. It's supposed to be a 'destination job'.
