Because by saying that he is LSU's coach and will be LSU's coach, he is keeping all of the attention on LSU and not diverting any of it to Michigan. That's the idea!

I really wish that they would post the age of each poster on this rant. What do we have to show for the last few years? Well, a Peach Bowl win and a Sugar Bowl win. Maybe some of you don't remember when we were used to playing in the Independence Bowl. Exactly, how spoiled are LSU fans now???

The TP on Nola.com is citing to Skip to say the deal is done.

Go figure Herby broke the story the day of the SEC championship game, do you think his timing was perfect or what???? Now that story is being challenged by local stories. This is crazy.

That actually is correct. But I believe that the post above regarding the five year limitation may have been referring to a limit that Louisiana law places on certain appropriations made by the legislature. However, the contract of a football coach would not fall within these limitations. The state does not appopriate the money that pays the coaching salaries. There is no limitation on the years for a coaching contract that I can find, granted my Westlaw research was limited to about 10 minutes.

Didn't say that you were wrong, I was agreeing with you. There is no law in Louisiana that prohibits contracts of more that 5 years. In fact, any such law would be unconstitutional as it would probably violate the commerce clause. I just hit post reply on your post because it was the last one on the thread. Sorry for the confusion.

I realize saying that you have a source is like saying you have two legs around here. However, for what it is worth, the latest that I've heard on the TAF stuff is that Skip and one other big time booster are definite no's to Saban. However, a few others are definite yes's to Saban. They have been calling around to different people in a attempt to feel out how the different levels of contributors would feel about it. Clearly, I am not saying that Saban is coming back or anything of the sort. Furthermore, I am not making any assumptions about whether he would come back, what his contract would be, or so forth. I have heard nothing about that. Only that the boosters are being felt out right now about their opinion on the matter.

I completely agree, there is no reason to go there now, I just find it funny that someone actually went through the trouble of tracking a private jet to determine if anyone was going from B.R. to Columbia. How far will we go to be the first to know??? Fact is, everyone is going to find out eventually.

All planes are owned by an LLC or Corporation now. Usually the registered agent for service is the attorney for the company. He's probably the registered agent for hundreds of companies. Find out what firm he works for and you may find out who his clients are. However, if it is a charter, which is sounds like it is, that won't be of any help.

The email doesn't say that the money is for any type of buyout. Simply donating to the athletic program tends to have pull at pretty much any school. Just saying, they never talk about money for a buyout.
