not really. More accurate to say the refs beat LSU in that game.


It sucked, but they won. And had a higher rated recruiting class. I know it's splitting hairs.

But they haven't bested LSU on or off until he was hired.

It was worth it to them.

It’s uncanny that a random fan from Ohio can post in the exact same manner, cherry picking factoids and not putting things in contract just like Ree

But Thats one way to look at it I guess, of course he’s also been to the CFB playoffs, the Fiesta Bowl and Rose Bowl and won 2 conference titles and won 10 games the last 3 years. That’s 2 more 10 win seasons than Coach O

I know you have at least 3 other alters, Derek. But I'll get a little extra satisfaction once this one finally gets guillotined.

Any idea what Saban's buyout at LSU was in 2004 or Bama now? Les had no buyout except for Michigan.

Research more or post less.

Buyouts are contingent on a AD's ability to negotiate them. Ask A&M fans what they think of the no-buyout for Jimbo to to walk away Scott free.

This so much! They basically gave his wife a blank check to furnish their new house they hadn't even bought yet. There was no way Saban was staying here with they firepower the Dolphins were throwing at us. Plus the landscape of College Football was vastly different in those days. The contracts coaches have now were not being offered then. We would have payed him as much as needed, and he still would have left.

Come on dude.....with all the facts you bring up about our previous assistant athletic director and a situation that happened 15 years ago, these are things you should know.

You aren't some casual "Ohio State/Joe Burrow fan"....so quit trying to stir shite up.....Alter's gonna alter

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


If you want the big dogs to eat and win you championships, you gotta make major moves, man, and I'm sure he conceded much to attain that no buyout clause. Negotiation 101, Jimbo's a top coach no problem with it.

Most probably don’t care, in any event he wouldn’t be their coach if there was a big buy out

they are contingent on the market power of the coach. If you want a big name or need someone to turn your program around then a good AD will do what it takes to get him.

Keep squirming Derek. Keep reaching. You are NOT representative of people that actually love the school and invest in it. Go back to sniffing Os arse.

Don't you have a JUGS thread to start?

It's been a while since I've seen you blame the passing game problems on anyone but Burrow. Dust off another scapegoat and let's hear it.

WOW considering how much you attempted and failed on my point about Earring Williams, this is likely the most sensical point you've made ever, and I approve, to attain the big dogs and eat the prime meat, you gotta Call Your Shot and, at the time they approved this contract, they Called their Shot and assured that Jimbo will receive top recruiting classes in the nation going forward and achieved accordingly.

Under Saban, Michigan State averaged under 7 wins a season - 6.8 to be exact. Saban had next to no market value when LSU hired him.

Saban won the SEC twice while he was here, once versus Tennessee in 2001 and again in 2003 against Georgia, won a national title here and had the players to make a run for another. That's how it ended up.



I couldn't care less about Jimbo's zero buyout.



Woodward is the new AD here. Deal with it.

How it ended up? Correct.

But, when it started, Saban was a barely mediocre HC. A sharp AD would have tied him up with an HC's hefty buyout. Saban would have signed it without a peep.

It would have cost LSU the ink for printing the clause - maybe a tenth of a penny.

So why did you ask like it ended up being something less than successful?

When it started? That was 16 years ago. In any event, this isn't about Saban.

So am I understanding this correctly? You aren't a fan of the Woodward hire. Yes or no?


I'd like to remind you that while you praise Orgeron, for being "one of us," (even though you pretend to be an Ohio State fan)

Scott Woodward is a Baton Rouge native, an LSU alum, has a camp in Grand Isle, LA, an apartment in the French Quarter in New Orleans.... so keep that in mind.

Here's an example from this week:


quote:

BARNES SAYS BUYOUT LIKELY KEPT HIM FROM TAKING UCLA JOB
An agreement couldn’t be worked out. Tennessee announced on April 8 that Barnes was staying in Knoxville.

“When you get down to a situation like that, it has to make sense from a financial standpoint,” Barnes said at a news conference Tuesday. “It does have to. The bottom line is we just really couldn’t work it out with the buyout.”

When asked what would have happened if the Bruins had covered his buyout, Barnes said: “I think I would have been the coach at UCLA.”
