This won't be a popular opinion because so much hope to rectify things is in Woodward but he's a big part of the reason we're between a rock and a hard place.

He basically reinforced Alleva's bad hire by giving O a contract and buyout way above O's real football value.

Question: has there ever been a coach more overpaid in the history of CFB? Name one.

Cause that's on Woodward.

That’s market for a national championship. He didn’t really have a choice.

Regardless, none of this about money. LSU would pay if they had to, but they will negotiate him way down.

This is such an old and tired take. There is no scenario where the national championship winning coach doesn’t get a raise to be among the top in college football. Yes, even if no one else is coming to get him. That is reality.

He won a NC and Woodward gave him a buyout worth less than 50% his total contract.

Compared To O’s prior buy out which, this is about 4 million more, after a NC

Had to extend O. O wasn’t going to take a worse buyout.

Jesus some of y’all are dumb as shite. It doesn’t matter who was the AD at the time; every AD in the country is giving a coach an extension and raise under those circumstances.

If he didn’t get the raise after winning a national championship LSU would never get a legit coach again. It’s something that will happen to all coaches who win the ship
Simpletons do not have the bandwidth to comprehend this fact....

Gene Chizik got a raise and extension at Auburn following their title.

There’s no way any coach that wins a natty, at any program, doesn’t get an increase in pay.

Ridiculous take

It’s nice to see some posters talking sense in this thread. Some of our fanbase would take this program back to the Hallman days given the chance. Joe Dean-level cheap all over this board.

I’m very optimistic. Everyday we’re closer to firing Orgeron. This buyout narrative is dumb.

Pretty ironic.

Looks like the underpaid HC's is making some headway there.

Bull… That type of raise and extension was reckless, uncalled for, and completely unnecessary. No other school would have had any interest in O. Stupid move.
