Can you actually get more selfish than Beth Torina?

What’s blown my mind is the betrayal Torina has for the fans and the school that has set her family up for generational wealth.

Has any great coach ever been compromised mulling over firing “extended family” to what’s best for their employer?

She is paid in the top 1% and that comes with results and separating your personal relationship with the staff around you.

It’s like the bud light ceo refusing to fire the chief marketing officer because she’s a great time at happy hour and enjoyable company. I’m just astonished someone can make nearly $500,000 a year and be so indifferent to the best interest of the community that has set yourself up for life

It’s not about politics. It’s a textbook example of the ceo of an organization acknowledging and addressing failures of an employee.


Leftwich and Dobson should have been given papers four years ago, but Beth Torina feels she’s above doing what’s right for her employer and stakeholders and doing what’s best for her experience.

Let’s stay on track and just understand it’s a clear example of the head person putting personal bias aside and doing what’s right for the organization.

She’s what, 45? If she coached at LSU for 20 more years any financial advisor that isn’t a complete fricking moron will see to it she will make millions investing.


Eta: is leaving behind multiple millions of dollars not generational wealth? I guess I forgot Louisiana is one giant Dubai with its affluence. I guess I have to explain that if she does her job any prudent financial advisor is going to see to it she’s worth multiple millions of dollars when she retires and I think that’s safe to say that’s exceptional wealth

I think she is overly loyal to a fault. Beth is a lovely person and clearly a good family person (not a bad thing) but in the case of coaching I think that over loyalty really is hitting her hard now. They needed some changes to inject fresh life into the program but hasn’t made that change.

TN recently blew up their coaching circle a couple years ago bringing in different assistants and now have looked their best in quite a long time under the weekly’s (who were running a stale program before the changes were made)

The term could be seen as hyperbole but are we going to pretend that she could easily coach 20-25 years? Do you not understand how much wealth would compound over time lmao

She makes $450,000 a year. Where exactly do you think that ranks on the pay scale?

Nick Saban is 72. Are we acting like coaches don’t practice their profession past 60?

I don't know, 99% is a lot. Where does the top of the 99% start, in your opinion?

He’s Nick Saban. We’re talking about Beth Torino.

Coaches like her don’t get 30 year careers.

The median household income in America is around 71k and you’re questioning if Beth Torina makes more than the overwhelming majority of the country

All great coaches can coach until they decide to retire. Kim mulkey can coach until she decides it’s time. You don’t have to be an elite football coach to be a head coach of 30+ years.

Didn’t Yvette coach for 30 years? what a ridiculous take

The melt from posters on TD that think they’re reasonable is amazing.

Not at LSU.

And she wasn’t make 500k at USL.

You’re making an enormous assumption that Beth Torino’s salary is going to continue at this same rate for 20 more years when her career has peaked, declined and plateaued

It’s not a melt. It’s softball and I am procrastinating.

I just think it’s funny we have a coach that would rather service her own personal interest rather doing what’s best for her employer. It’s like les miles keeping cam Cameron as OV for a decade because he was in his wedding.

It’s just hilarious she gets away with not doing the right thing. Pretty simple. If Paul maineri kept David grewe for over a decade we’d have burned Alex box down
