Just pointing out we might have overpaid for a lot of sizzle and very little steak.
Posted on 11/11/26 at 1:48 pm to RDB1017
I’d choose Kiffin over most of those names & most of them were unavailable

Sometimes you hire based on perceived potential. Early returns aren't too good. We'll see what happens down the road

Looking at that list the only coaches I’d take over Lane are Kirby and Cignetti, so yea I’d say he’s about right.

How about adding a little context to your list numb nuts
Kind of important

Your list only makes me appreciate LSU got Kiffin.
Only coach I would take over him is Smart.

Besides Kirby and Cig, is there anyone on the list you would want?

What is eye opening about this? This isn’t new information. It’s pretty widely known who the top 10 highest are.
I don’t understand so many people pocket watching others when not a single cent came from those watching.

LSU has shown we will pay top $ for coaches. It is impossible to say if we overpaid or not...it's been 90 games and he hasn't even been our coach for a calendar year yet.

One thing I would note is just like with player contracts in professional sports, the market updates and resets each off season. Between raises and new coaching hires, I wouldn’t imagine Kiffin is still the 3rd highest paid in the next two years.
