No reason to melt. There is reason for people to think Landry should stfu. This is some straight Louisiana BS. Politicians need to stay out of football/sports. They already frick up too much other stuff.

A good coach will want the job, and we can move on from the past 6 years.

It’s a great idea except for the fact that no one will agree to the terms.

Why would anyone do that when you’re going to have programs like UF, PSU, Arkansas, etc that are going to be offering a high base with guaranteed money.

This is how you get stuck with someone like skip holtz.

The only way it works is if the upside is considerably more than the alternative base salary. E.g. if someone else is offering $10m base and you’re offering $5m base, maybe you’re offering $15m total for a CFP appearance and $20m total for a championship.

Not saying those are the numbers but just illustrating the point. It would have to be a deal where, if the coach is successful, you actually end up paying a lot more. Otherwise the coach would be a fool to pass up his market value.

His public babbling is making it look like we have a shite show on our hands, when in reality, it's totally natural.

Maybe the top coaches LSU will want aren’t pussies like the clowns melting about the Governor wanting a good coach without a ridiculous contract. And if he is, LSU doesn’t need him anyway. Landry says get a committee- find a good coach- pay him and reward success. If a coach wants a fat contract and guaranteed years, he can gonlet Floridia or Penn State pay him &away we keep looking.


You should be embarrassed for typing something so retarded.

Aren’t you team “hire Kelvin Sheppard!” ?


no, i would prefer lane or lanning

but I do find it laughable when people say....cant risk the hire, must hire a guy with P4 experience that was a winner at that level....... well we just fired the guy who had the most wins of anyone in coaching, that came from a true blue blood and had made the playoffs/BCS championship a couple times....how the hell did that work out? the other candidate was Riley....yea how is that working out? no better than BK. Billy Napier was another.... Jimbo fisher yea failed big time

Im not even saying you must go with shep either. but look at this

#1, #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, #12, #13, #15 all have coaches that where assistants before being hired
#2, #7 #14 all hired coaches from now P4 schools

Elko, DeBoer, Cristobal are the only 3 in the top 15 right now that came from another P4 school.

so yall can stop with the experience matters BS because all the ones that are at the top of the game right now didnt have it. Half the time when they do have it and win...yall bring up Curley and say they are only winning because of 1 great player. its not 1990 anymore
