you also ask when we get outbid for a recruit we wanted, I wonder if we could’ve used some of that dead money we are spending because of Woody’s bad contracts to have met the going rate? Woody more than quadrupled House’s salary and no one else would’ve offered House 1/2 what Woody gave him.
Right. There was no reason to pay house 2 mil.
He was an NFL linebacker coach. No one was beating down his door.

Are you under the impression that the money for coaches and the money for recruits comes from the same place?

Regardless of the hire, the position pays the same. It’s where we are.

Who do you think runs this program financially? The AD turned a 6 million dollar profit last year. That won't even pay BK's salary for this year

Since you seem confused I’ll ask again:

Wouldn’t profits be after all salaries are paid, like in the business world?

Stupid fricking old man post.
Yes EVERYTHING is going up. Have you been shopping lately??
So why be shocked at a salary in a billion dollar industry??
These type of posts are pathetic. It's just a reason to complain about the A.D., and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it had something to do with him being a white male.
And yes I'm an old man saying this. (but I'm aware of inflation)

Would you want to be enjoying a game in TS taking a leak in a nice new bathroom while we get beaten to death on the field? There is a chicken vs egg element,
Yep, agreed. The AD's job is to find that balance. I'm not complaining about the contract, because I don't know anything about LSU's financials. 95% of the people on this board don't know enough to have an educated opinion, yet it seems like everyone has one anyway

Yep. And for these people there is no winning. You pay for top notch coordinators and they cry about the money. You don't pay for coordinators and lose games/recruits because of it and they move the goal post to not winning enough. They set themselves up for a win/win situation for having something to bitch about.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt, from his "The Man in the Arena" speech, delivered in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910 to thunderous applause that continued for several minutes. The speech made headlines around the world.

Woody overpays for everything. That’s how he convinces people to come.

At one time, i thought he might be the best AD in the country. I no longer think that.
If you are basing that reasoning on what we pay for coaches, you have no clue how college athletics work. Do you honestly believe the coaching salary budget is determined by Woodward and not the BOS thru the TAF? He doesnt get a gold star for clipping coupons when hiring people.
