It's A&M, they had to throw S Class money at an Acura. That's an A&M issue, not a Woodward/LSU issue.

LSU should get Jimmie Sexton as AD - the guy that sat across from Woodward in the Jimbo negotiation.

Agreed, I want the guy who gave a DL Coach who was the worst coach in Ole Miss history a $12 million buyout.

Buckeye Jeaux is an obvious Ree alter. Imagine if we had a backup that we loved transfer out. Would we then start researching that schools athletic director and sifting through rival fans pages?

Ree is Derek
Buckeye Jeaux is Ree

Don’t worry Derek as long as O wins your safe. But there’s no one to protect you anymore. Woodward ain’t gonna put up with shite.

You’re a moron. He’s making $7.5mil a year for ten years guaranteed. A buyout isn’t necesssry as 99% of schools aren’t outbidding that deal.

Moreover, he’s a NC winning HC that was firmly set in at FSU. He wasn’t going to leave for any bargain offer elsewhere.

Well he knew no one would pay more for Jimbo so the buyout wasn't needed

Did you just ask how did Saban end up?

He’s the greatest college football coach of all time.

How’s Joe feeling? Pretty dejected I bet? Really, no one gives a shite!

We’re enjoying ourselves so you may want to take a break for a few days.

It’s fricking Texas A&M, if you don’t throw some ridiculous buyout like that at a coach who the frick are you going to get?!?

Kevin Sumlin is who you get.

If true, is this the worst contract ever negotiated by an AD?


It’s true but consider that FSU is a destination job and if you want to lure a coach from a destination school like FSU then you have to make them a sweet deal. The other thing to consider is the fact that no one is going to pay him more. What’d he get, like $833K per win last year?

Woodward convinced chris Peterson to come to Washington when he rejected better programs. May be the guy has good negotiation skills with what he has. With A&M he has unlimited money

If you can’t see past your own personal bias to realize this is something GREAT for LSU, then I really have no words for you.

He wasn't when he got the LSU HC job. With a hefty buyout in his first LSU contract, Saban might still be at LSU.

That's what HC buyouts are designed to do. Keep them from splitting if they have a great season or two.
