I love having Coach O back in any capacity, but I think he will help in recruiting and the D-line play. Great motivator also.

$100,000 is basically free?

100k is decent money, but I'm from SW Miss.

In the college football world in 2026, yes. Not saying it’s right, but that’s how things are. LSU probably didn’t even blink at agreeing to dish that out.

And if Lane doesn’t work out, we’ll have the greatest interim coach of all time in the waiting

Exactly if you think some small school wouldn’t pony up way more than that for coach O you’re mistaken

Not saying I disagree, but no school has tried to hire him since he was fired.

I’m love this, especially if there are a bunch of incentives for D-line performance, recruiting, and if we win.

$100K to work a job that you actually love. Absolutely! The late Frank Davis once told how blessed he was. He said do something that you love, become the best at doing it, and get someone to pay you well to do it.

That's pocket money for him. O as we know coached for a long time. He had alot of money before the buyout. He good!

I don't know. He's been a complete screw off for the last six years. I wouldn't hire him for a competitive salary. I think what Lane Kiffin is doing is the right thing. Give him a token salary and make him prove he's serious about coaching again.

Coach O is worth much more than $100,000 just hanging around. The man is a legend and got LSU a ring in 2019.

He got alot of money from the many years he was a coach before his 17m. O isn't hurting for money. He is most likely getting money from elsewhere. When you think about it, he has nil appeal. Im also not sure if he was on the payroll that was apart of the buyout through this year already and such from 2022?

Is his 17 mil paid off? Or is this subtracted from that?
