re: Feldman: Coach O rewarded with new contract of 6 yrs, $42M

6-year contract extension valued at more than $42 million in total

I know he needed an extension, and he definitely deserved one, but damn that's a lot of money for a long time. I'd be nervous about giving any coach that amount. And does that amount take away from his ability to hire top notch coordinators and analysts.

My concern is if this year was just made special by Burrow and the talent around him. Do we go back to being the 3 or 4 loss team from O's first couple of years here? That's a lot of money for 3 losses a year. That said, he has accumulated some nice talent. He just has to continue to develop it and win and the contract will be worth it if that can be done.

That list is not updated, Dabo makes 9 million a year and is ranked number one.

Everyone praising this needs to stop and look at the kind of ridiculous people you are aligning with.

That’s usually a pretty good sign you might need to take a step back and reevaluate your position.

Contrarian logic 101. You just showed us your hand. If this is your mindset, then you are a contrarian plain and simple.

So we were busy extending O instead of addressing our assistant needs. Nice. One team one heartbeat

Do you not think our AD is capable of more than one task over the course of his day?

I'd be willing to bet that the money LSU is making from the sale of LSU related products, starting at mid-season & on going, helps to reduce the cost of this contract more than a little. And as noted, the new TV money each school will receive is a nice, new pile of money. With ticket prices going up, too, this is chump change. Saban's success has brought in, literally, 100's of millions of dollars to bama per stats released by the university.

No doubt that CEO earned a substantial raise not just for the results this year but also for the positive results the last few years. CEO absolutely deserves to be one of the highest paid coaches.

The problem is not LSU paying the market rate . . . it’s that the market rate has doubled in the last 10 years. I can appreciate the pressure cooker those guys work in, but $7MM - $8MM per year is a stupid market rate for the work actually performed.

It won’t happen, but there should be a cap for all coaches at $5MM/year and then build in some result oriented bonuses. The shite is getting out of control.

He will earn it this season. 7 mil a year is too much. We will find out if he’s worth it this coming season

What should O's contract look like in your opinion?

I know right!! Lol at Jimbo who never won anything without a generational Heisman QB making that kind of money!!

Oh wait....


why do you continue to compare contracts not directly after national championship seasons?

Historical perspective has no place in contract negotiations!!

Recency bias only pleas and thank you!!

Puts him almost $2 million below Dabo and Saban, $500k below Harbaugh and Fisher (LOL) and above Smart, Malzhan, and Herman.

Sounds about right to me. Could even argue we got a discount.

My concern is more the length of it than amount per year.
