So how are the ticket holders going to be asked to pay for coaches not to coach?

Increase in fees?

Restrooms that will continue to not work?

Fees for portable toilets in tailgating areas?

Miss entire game while waiting for concessions?

Watch game from concession line in silver-boxed tubed from a generation ago?

The point is that the ticket holders are paying the end price for all these decisions.

Pucker up, ladies and gents. The pig is putting on its lipstick.

Big money boosters (obviously you aren't one) on the hook for the buy out.
However it is a decent melt and you need to be congratulated on it.

You act like this is just isolated to LSU.

Just in the SEC alone A&M, Arkansas and Tennessee all paid/are paying former HC's and likely assistants "not to coach".

Now, it's asinine to hand pick your OC, sign him to a big contract, then want him gone after 3-4 games. But LSU isn't alone in paying guys "not to coach".

Don’t go don’t support but please stop crying. This is still America if you don’t like a product then don’t use that product. You can bitch and yell until your face turns blue but nothing will change unless the bottom line at LSU changes.

There are ways to support your team without spending a dime until things changes. Watch at home don’t buy anymore LSU merch.

If I was a big money booster I’d tell LSU to F off. Hiring a guy for 1.5 million with 3 years guaranteed and then firing him after one year. I love LSU football and want them to be highly competitive but this is pure mismanagement from the top. Management is throwing money away through pure incompetence.
The “Big Money” boosters didn’t get their big money from dealing with contracts like this! I’m sure they won’t waste their money on covering up mistakes made by the clowns that make deals at LSU.

It was a decent melt, but I think he can do better. I give him a B-.

Unfortunately, we're also paying our current head coach not to coach.

This is a horrible theme that keeps getting repeated.

LSU will charge market prices for their tickets and provide a market-level of service. They will do this in down years and up years.

They will get what they can get — always.

If LSU’s expenses suddenly took a sharp decline, would you expect a ticket decrease?

No.

Right - TAF Big Money was NOT jumping up and down for hiring Orgeron. That was TU Alum Ballard BS with Alleva.
Program is being run 2nd rate with Alleva at AD right now.

No BS, and this is a little off topic, just curious. Do you feel like that’s what we receive with parking, traffic, concessions, restrooms etc. I’ve been to all SEC stadiums and don’t feel like we’re in the upper echelon.

It’s amazing how many fans are worried about buyouts and money but when going after fisher and Herman money was no object

son, coaches buyouts are not new. many programs have been paying them for awhile now. I think auburn was paying 2 exHC's and a current one just a couple of years ago.

you are not going to get a top coach w/o buyouts in today's markets. the demand is higher than the supply and top programs do not want to experiment with new guys any more.
