One thing LSU should learn is, following all the incentives for winning a NC, they should have incentives to maintain and poison pills if performance slides. No more of these Mack Brown types who bring home NC and then subsequently treat the university like a hyper-sized pension for 7 win seasons (or worse) for years to come. That $21mln BS has to stop.

Yall really think its the school paying the buyout? lol It's nothing. If Woodward wants him gone, the boosters will be more than happy to take care of it.

Good luck getting that by Sexton. The coach typically holds all the cards after a NC and outside of O usually has plenty of suitors.

At the end of the day….Coach O will be gone….when? Somebody knows…..somebody ALWAYS knows….but in the meantime…this season is ruined….recruiting is on the downward spiral……much revenue lost….then you still gotta pay coach to leave. If players and recruits read the Rant…..what are they thinking? Orgeron sure won’t tell anyone that he is gone….O will play the game and lie and play the game. 2019 seems like 10 years ago.

Woodward's needless and mindless extension has us in a pickle.

1. It won’t be that much if it’s anything.
2. LSU doesn’t pay it, it’s all privately funded.

Hey Tiger Prophet, do you think LSU is a poorer school than Auburn financially because Auburn had the money to put Malzahn out the door. Do you not think that LSU has the money to do the same.

Fired for cause- named in the title 9 conduct unbecoming- he also tried to hire a saints assistant without asking permission that burned bridges! You can bet your arse he is OUT!

Dude. You have no idea how much money is available to take care of this. He’s gone.

Say it again for the ignorant people it the back. Listen this time:

EVERY COACH WHO WINS A TITLE GETS A RAISE. PERIOD.

This is nothing new, anywhere, ever. A title winning coach is going to get a minimum top 5 salary. Quibble over the details and years if you like, but damn. Pay attention. That extension had nothing to do with O’s ability as a head coach. It was purely an incentive for what he accomplished in 2019.

What you fricking imbeciles can’t seem to understand is that NOT giving O an extension after a title would work against us when hiring a new coach. Do you want the top candidates talking to their agents and hearing about this when it comes time to choose between their favorite destinations?

Top coaches want to know they will be compensated like everyone else if they win it all. They need to know that’s not a problem here, and the proof of that and what we will pay for a staff is plain to see. That’s the big boy football game. You either play it, or move down the ladder.

They will settle for way less. O has given them plenty of reason to fire for cause

Can terminate and not pay one penny to him.

They could, but you need to keep Ed happy to a certain extent to keep it out of court. They’ll pay him to keep quiet but it won’t be 21 mil.

The investigation we did didn’t indicate O knew anything.

We aren’t backing away from that to fire him for cause. The lawsuit naming him is just grasping. The same guys said in the original USA Today article that he thought O knew but couldn’t be sure.
