Advocate Article

quote:

The contract reappears on the agenda for Friday’s board meeting, with no apparent changes to its original form. Fargas is scheduled to receive no raise from her current $700,000 annual compensation package, but LSU is proposing an increase in her maximum postseason bonus package from $500,000 to $600,000 per year.

LSU may terminate Fargas without cause by paying $200,000 per year remaining on her contract, with the final year prorated if necessary, for a maximum of $600,000.

Fargas and athletic director Joe Alleva have already signed the contract that is part of the board’s agenda.


Time to go on record. I understand the whole "stability" concept of extensions, but there no value to a stable ship at the bottom of the ocean. The buyout clearly isn't terrible, but any buyout is more than she has earned. The Caldwell/Fargas era needs to come to an end ASAP. I'm hoping the board is just waiting to name a competent AD to hire her replacement.

Honestly don't mind it from the recruiting perspective. Pretty hard to get better at recruiting if the contract isn't stable. Know that's a pretty unpopular opinion but I feel like this is more of a boost to help with that aspect of WBB.

Does WBB even have a roster anymore?

well said, but she should have been gone years ago (maybe after she did not discipline a male coach for harassing college age girls at a bar and getting arrested), but the buyout, now that we kept her is not too high...maybe we can even get her out without a lawsuit..which would be nice...

Have you seen how Nikki Fargas recruits? That is not a reason to keep her.

there is no reason to keep her. Just the idea of an extension for her is audacious to me.

This action speaks volumes about Joe Alleva.

If this were the WNBA she'd probably be great. Her game plan isn't bad, as evidenced by her multiple trips to the sweet 16. But her recruiting absolutely sucks. You can't run a good game plan without the players to do it.

The only thing I can see is that last year we actually had the best SEC record since she’s been here

She's a good gameday coach, but dear God she is a shitty, and I mean shitty, recruiter.

They are basically allowing her to throw a hail Mary. Will cost LSU peanuts to get rid of her anytime.

Let's be honest. If she was a white male, she would be already gone. Our society lacks accountability and people find reasons to be victims. You can bet she would claim racial discrimination.
