Upgrade Alex Box rather than a ridiculous contract for a coach. Jay deserves a raise but upgrading the stadium will put more fans in it.

A million more dollars a year into the future isn’t going to fund major Box renovations.

Because you want to lock him in before he gets huge offers from other schools. And he will.

I get the feeling that he ain't going nowhere unless he's told to leave.

You are probably right, but money talks. He left Arizona.

What's the point of a lifetime contract? Even the best coaches can get stale and lose it if they stay at a job for too long

And said that the only place he would have left for is LSU (what else is he going to say). But, there isn't a better job out there and I can't imagine LSU not paying up to keep him.

Make the money outrageous, but don't make it a lifetime. Those never work.


JJ making about $2 mil…

Schloss making $5 mil… hope that is an outlier and not the new bar.

I know what you mean, and LSU will make him the highest paid coach. I would never say never though. I want him to stay.

He's not going anywhere....he was on Mascona yesterday, said as much. Mascona asked him why he said LSU was his dream job - he related the story of why - he had a good friend I think in the media business or some such and he used to tell Jay that college baseball was an automatic channel changer.

Jay said he answered, well...it's not here (LSU). And both were right in the context of the conversation.

Jay ain't going anywhere.

I agree but I have a feeling in todays arms race with Coaches and NIL, that facilities will be put on back burner.

Do you realize that in most contracts it states if a coach wins a national title he will be given an X amount raise? In previous years it used to be making them the highest paid coach, but since coaching contracts began getting so out of control, I believe that was changed to top 5 in the SEC, or country, or whatever. I don't know exactly what it is, I just know it's typical for that type of language to be in the contract.


Wrong.

I’d bet that his agent sent an email on Sunday asking for a “quick call” with LSU on Monday.
