This will be unpopular because folks don’t consider all the possibilities, but six year guaranteed contracts should not be handed out. I can understand Bama doing it for Saban, and maybe Clemson for Dabo. But only because they have proven to have staying power. If Orgeron puts up three straight 3 loss seasons, with losses to Bama every year, this board will be clamoring for him to be fired, and LSU would have a $20 million payout on their hands.

~$7m a year. Earned it, but does his assistant salary pool grow too?

Any other coach would have gotten at least $8M, prob more, for delivering what he just delivered.

Obviously he deserved a good raise.

But I have to be a little contrarian here. Orgeron was hired to have a head coach making a smaller salary so that the coordinators could be paid top notch. And that obviously worked well. Will we still do that?
