And again, you’re missing my main point, that you don’t make the hire assuming the worst happens. That’s really never how hires have been made or will be in the future.


You don’t say we can get a better coach, but if he fails we’ll be stuck with him, so let’s hire a worse coach that we can get rid of easier if he sucks.



Yeah that's his angle. I don't think this idea of penny-pinching is compatible with the type of success we expect at LSU. Success takes some calculated risks, he wants little risk and high reward.

Nobody is asking for penny pinching. It's flexibility.

Jimbo is no flexibility for a decade potentially.

If we're paying for a team that makes the playoffs every other year (or so), we're taking a high risk with a coach that hasn't made one since 2014, correct? Why do we project Jimbo is going to be anything other than what he has been the past 5 years?
