This year's $8M roster is going to cost you $9.5M next season, and prob $12M in 3 years.

Exactly. And for equal or lesser talent. In other words, it will take more money to get equal/worse talent to convince the kids to sacrifice their college career playing under this coach.

Do you fire him now? Do we just sit tight for now and not make a change?

You mean, now before the season ends or after we lose in the SEC tournament?

Surely you aren’t contemplating if we wait another year… that would be a horribly expensive mistake

We were at Torchy's across the street from the PMAC before the South Carolina game on Saturday and they did not have the men's basketball game on. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

$8,252,000

Paid out over 39 months is roughly $200,000 per month IF he doesn't get another job. His new job will reduce this significantly.

Moscona and others in the media are throwing around this big number. It sounds like a massive, one-time check that LSU would have to cut at the beginning of March.

First off, it is not a lump sum payment. The contracts specifically say LSU pays this out in equal monthly installments over the rest of the years left on the deal. For McMahon, LSU is basically just paying a monthly bill for the next few years, not taking an 8 million dollar hit to the bank account all at once.

Even more important is the offset rule. The coaches have a legal duty to find new jobs. The second McMahon or any of the assistants get hired somewhere else, LSU gets to subtract that new salary from what they owe. If McMahon goes and gets a mid-major job for 500k a year, that is 500k LSU instantly wipes off the books.

Two of the assistants have a contract that ends this year.

That 10 million figure is the absolute max ceiling if every single one of those coaches stayed unemployed until 2029, which basically never happens in college sports. It is still expensive, but it is a manageable monthly expense that gets cheaper every time one of them gets a new gig. It is not the massive haul that some are making it out to be.

I just don't get why they lose so much money and the Men's team with 2,000 fans make money?

All about the TV contract. The same reason baseball doesn't make as much money as men's basketball.

in year four, with increased NIL resources

And the NIL resources had to be increased to compensate for his coaching incompetence. In other words, it takes far more money to get a guy here and sacrifice his development.

Tick tock

Not enough boosters with deep pockets are demanding a change. They simply don't exist here.

They existed with the previous coach. The well dried up when we hired a loser.

The money that could have bought him out was wasted on a more expensive version of the same bullshite. Thanks Scott

If the donors don't approach the AD with checks and a plan, nothing will happen.

They found money to give MM for NIL since he wouldn’t raise money on his own. They should shake the same trees to end this bullshite a year or two later than it should have ended.
