Would this 100k not be directly reduced from his payout funds from LSU? My assumption was that the reason the contract is so small is because it would impact the buyout amounts he was already receiving from LSU. So he is working for "free" while getting a car and continuing to get massive buyout payments from LSU. If he planned to jump back into another HC role, he'd probably need to begin refamiliarizing himself after a 6 year Destin hiatus also.

As long as Coach O does what Lane is thinking; staying focused on what he's hired to do, not being any sort of side show, he will do awesome. Coach mean DL guys, motivate, recruite......... that's his wheel house. I like the move Lane made here.

Is his 17 mil paid off? Or is this subtracted from that?
The final check was sent to him in December.
The man has good timing.

$100,000 is basically free?
Especially compared to several million a year.

He's been getting a 1099 from LSU for over a decade, and that will continue. Lol

Exactly if you think some small school wouldn’t pony up way more than that for coach O you’re mistaken
Coach O went on a tour doing podcasts, interviews, etc to get his foot in the door anywhere as a head coach. Nobody called.
He's now on a prove it year with LSU.

It’s literally 1% of his previous salary. Would you do that?
