re: Landry being interviewed on ESPN right now by McAfee

The first step from the LSU administration when reviewing the option of firing the head coach when a contract is still in place is to approach donors to see if the contract will be paid out by them. If the donors are not going to foot the bill, the coach would not be fired.
From what I have gathered, it didn’t take many calls to have the money guaranteed. And we’re talking guaranteed by a multi billionaire.
I wouldn’t worry much as a tax payer. There are very wealthy people that care a lot about LSU football. All these politicians and lawyers you have seen in media up in arms are either dumb or trying to advance career.

Well when the State has to potentially pay the buyout, frick yea.. Taxpayer money shouldn't be used for college sports.

The way I understand it..."IF" the doners didn't pay buyouts Kelly would not have been fired...Hell, we might have stuck with Orgeron if buyouts came from the state/LSU budget. TAF and doners pay for it all and huge doners may even get a say, behind the scenes, in what happens.

Every state university is going to have the same type of contract.
Taxpayers will never be paying for LSU athletics, and to say otherwise that they might is being disingenuous.
He made a valid point despite his inability to make the argument clearer. It is not disingenuous at all. If the donors wouldn't step up to foot the bill, LSU would be stuck with Kelly OR state dollars would have to pay the buyout. The contract was ridiculous and irresponsible.

Landry isnt really off base here
In theory, yes. But college football is and always will be an arms race where the path of more money and more generous contract terms is king. If you want the best, you have to offer something better than the other 50 schools that want him.
Good luck convincing an established coach to be a guinea pig in a new pay-for-performance contract structure when every other school is offering the old terms. This is how you end up with a severely underqualified coach.

LSU is very unlikely to get a big name coach after all of this.
It has nothing to do with Landry and everything to do with the contract they are floating out there.
A performance-based contract isn't going to entice a coach who can get another program to guarantee them $100 million. No agent is going to advise their client to walk away from guaranteed money.
It is what it is. LSU will get an up-and-comer, and hopefully it works out. They may set a new trend in coaching compensation.

What a time to be alive

And having such a long and guaranteed contract that can back you into a corner like this is irresponsible and bad business.

Kiffin makes more now staying where he is. He could get a contract from OM tomorrow north of 12 mill per year, with a large buyout
And not have to meet any kind of incentives whatsoever
So why would he leave that for a much worse deal?
You people don't think

Landry is making it clear he's using LSU sports to try and advance his political agenda.

I mean yes, but it has everything to do with Landry: He's the one mentioning a contract of that sort

I can see something like that
No agent is going to let their client sign a contract like that when another school is offering nine figures in guaranteed compensation.
I much prefer your idea, and that is how it should be, but that is not the reality we are currently in.

"We gon make a deal where the coach can be fired every year with no buyout AND if he doesn't get 10 wins he gets his pay docked!" That's Landry's idea of how we're going to attract a coach
Posted on 10/30/25 at 11:44 am to Fun Bunch
The reality is, LSU will not be doing some mostly incentive-based deal with the next coach. But the contract won't be a 10-year monster that's 90% guaranteed either.

No shite, unless they want to hire North Texas's coach
