REMINDER--Coach O is the ultimate team player.

Orgeron ranks 30th among highest paid coaches in the nation.
20% Less than Willie Taggart
35% Less than Dan Mullen
40% Less than Tom Herman/Gus Malzahn/Kirby Smart
45% Less than Jimbo Fisher/Jim Harbaugh
55% Less than Nick Saban/Dabo Swinney
Humble, team first. Proof is in the pudding.

Well he wasn't exactly going to get a 6-7 million a year contract with his track record 
I am extremely supportive and happy with O and team, but this analogy is stretching reality. There are a few names in there making more than they should have gotten at hire, that's for sure.

Willie Taggart really deserves that extra 20%. He’s got the Noles rolling right now.

You must have another definition for

I mean... that was his market value back then. Has nothing to do with humble or team player. That was what his resume was worth.
Finish this season off and bump it up.

not sure if serious. One point win in OT to UL Monroe
Last 4 games : blown out by Clemson, loss to Wake Forest.
Taggart is garbage

Lol literally just received a raise less than a year ago and was bitching about not getting one two days after being embarrassed by Bama yet again. Plus when hired he had a terrible resume and was never going to get the kind of contract those coaches you listed were. He’s done a good job this season and we should be praising him on his accomplishments but your post is simply sunshine pumping and man crushing just to do it.

Tell LSU’s ultimate team player his special teams coach needs an arse chewing.

For those saying he didn't deserve more, you may be correct, and you may not. Can you justify what Herman "deserved" or Taggart or most of the list? Nope. Saban and Dabo? Okay. The rest of that list? Nah, not really.
Also, remember that at the time he was hired, part of his pitch was literally that he would take less and expected LSU to use the savings on the HC position to beef up the analysts on staff and pay more for coordinators and assistants. So the OP saying he's a team player and using his salary as an example is correct. He put elevating the entire staff ahead of his own personal salary. That's a team player.

Jesus Christ your infatuation with this special teams group is borderline psycho.

I feel like I am overpaid at my job, and I would always ask for more. However, there's a certain amount of value that comes with enjoying what you're doing and where you're doing it. O seems to be enjoying himself. He doesn't cross me as a person that views himself as anything other than a kid from South Louisiana that's making a shite ton of money. He knows that his success will reward him. I don't see him walking into Woodward's office saying "so and so is offering me more, and I will leave if you don't give it to me". But in the famous words of Clinton, whatever you think, you might be wrong.

Everyone is about to get paid on this staff,
Win the natty and they’ll make a boatload.

Taggert is a bum you’re 100% right about him. Herman inherited a 5 win team and has already doubled that win total and played for a conference championship in year two so his has been justified so far.

0 shows how much of a "team player" he is when things go south and he cannot throw people under the bus fast enough. See post-Troy. See the way he handled Canada throughout that season.
Everything you cite was his survival tactics just to get a job his resume said he didn't deserve.

You're insinuating he was offered more but turned it down.
That's 100% not true.
Come back to me in 2 months. Regardless of if he wins a natty or the SEC, if he finishes 11-1 or better, I bet your team player gets a bump.

I can imagine he will get a very nice bump after this season. Hell it may be announced Monday after the Bama game if he wins that one
Posted on 10/30/19 at 8:34 am to Jambalaya Sauce
Anyone know if he has the Saban clause in his contract saying if he wins a NC he becomes the highest paid coach in America? No one mentioned the $9 mil a year for Harbaugh. Now that's overpaid.

If we are going to be perfectly honest, none of these coaches “DESERVE” the money they are making. They’re football coaches. They don’t cure cancer, save lives or really add any true value to our lives so they should be damn happy they’re being paid the millions they get. Not to mention, their contracts are guaranteed so it’s like winning the lottery for coaching...
Saying that, the market demand is there so they should cash in on what they can, while they can but be thankful. So excuse me for not seeing your point for Coach O being a “team player” when he still gets paid millions to be a football coach. He took a pay cut so he could get his 2nd chance. Let’s see how big of a “team player” he is if he makes it to the playoffs and it’s time to renegotiate that contract.

IMO, he's got to earn his lavish salary just like the rest of em. I think he's doing that now.
Thankfully, we have an AD with a competency level greater than a potato now, so CEO contracts should be handled with bother parties in mind.
