Getting rid of Pelini and Linehan begs one question...

We have paid Bo Pelini $5 million+ not to coach at LSU. Some more buyouts will be paid to Linehan. That is a lot of money for a hire that went wrong...especially when we are $80 million in the red due to the pandemic. Three years ago, we paid Canada $1 million to go away.

We go ahead and hire the next PGC and DC and these hires do not work out and next year again we pay another $3-5 million. How many more mistakes in hiring can we afford?

For the CEO (ace recruiter) head coach with 2 ace coordinators, model to work you need the HC to

[1] Hire good coordinators, who fit well into the program
Here coach has been 1/4. Canada, Linehan and Pelini were the misses and Joe Brady was high (I suspect more by accident than by design, considering that no one know him before our magical season)

[2] The HC should know what system to run, so that continuity is retained.

Coordinator's move frequently every 1-2 years. If you bring in a new coordinator and he keeps installing a new offense / defense each time, it will always be a disaster. You will never have the right personnel to run the system and when you have the right personnel you will have different coordinator. The players will hit the transfer portal in the off season and we will be paying buyouts post season.

Transitioning from a 3-4 to a 4-3 in a year without spring practice and truncated fall practice was not a good decision. Where was the adjustment and improvisation? Forget game time adjustments, what about pre season adjustments and adaptations to fit the skills of the players.

HC are paid to hire coordinators that fit the program and suite the system he wants to run and have the personnel to run
HC and the hired coordinator's are paid to make adjustments and improvise

Sadly, I feel that O neither knows what he wants to run, nor who to hire to keep the program going.

As history repeats itself over and over, we will be paying buyouts after buyouts and throw good money after bad.
