Guilbeau article on the high price of O’s buyout.

Prominent businessmen with strong interests and financial ties with LSU have been saying for weeks LSU would be able to finesse that $17 million buyout in Orgeron’s contract to something closer to $10 million because of Orgeron’s off-field issues.
Orgeron’s raise from $4 million a year to an average of $7 million a year through 2025 was enough of a reward for the national title. His buyout could have been a few million. But Woodward let it start at $27 million with it now down to $17 million.
That is even worse than former LSU athletic director Joe Alleva, who was able to fire Miles for $9 million and ended up paying only $4 million when Miles took the Kansas job.
Orgeron has said he doesn’t plan on coaching again. But he may become a spokesman for McDonald’s.
“I think I’m going to have enough money to buy me a hamburger every once in a while,” Orgeron said. “Maybe a double-meat cheeseburger.”
Thanks, Scott Woodward. Great move.
You have created the new Hamburglar.

LSU football is one of the few schools that buyouts don't matter. Pay it and move on. Get a winner and make >$120M/year.

Look, I didn't want Ed to get another cent because he doesn't deserve it. But unless the money is coming out of your pocket, WGAS.

Coach O is getting paid to keep his mouth shut and to keep recruits lined up (that part may not work out so well).

Not sure why Woody gets a pass here. Any school who has solid boosters can overpay for a coach.
Had he been savvy, he would’ve gotten Mulkey here at the same pay rate or slightly more than what she was pulling at Baylor. LSU’s name carries weight - winning tradition, great fans, overall excellent facilities.
Look at the obscene contract Jimbo got and now Aggie is tethered.

McDonald’s spokesman??
Orgeron specifically said Sonic.
Motherfricker can’t even get that right. Worst reporter on the planet.

At a certain point, there is bound to be a financial limit to the various buyouts—because of realities or perception issues. Whether or not LSU is actually footing the bill, that could affect the program.
