Well, they just paid the last installment of his $17 million buyout in December, so I'm thinking money may not be a huge issue for him at the moment.

I love the move to bring O back in this role.

O did deliver the title. He is entertaining as can be as well as being good at recruiting and dline

No I’m born and bred right here, if $100,000 is free then wtf are you making- the Car & allowance are also in his free pay.

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


That’s why he has had zero offers

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


We just finished paying out his $17M. He is back because he wants to be around coaching. He doesn't need incentives.

It's you who are 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.


Right. How do people not see this?

17 million 30% taxes wife takes 1/2, ballin all the time, bitches, kids. I bet he has a fraction of that money left.

Not saying he’s broke but he doesn’t seem like the type to be thrifty with his money.

Would this 100k not be directly reduced from his payout funds from LSU?


He is no longer receiving buyout payments 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.


Thats a ridiculous assumption. Number 1, his buyout didn’t include an offset clause.

Number 2, the money is all coming from LSU, so even if there were an offset LSU could pay him anywhere up to the remaining value of the buyout and he would be “working for free.”
