I still can't get over giving him an extension and raise. Why? Because we made the Orange Bowl in a COVID year? What was the point? Who was trying to steal the guy? For all the talk about his system making his players NFL ready if it was that damn good why do NFL teams never try to hire him?

Was somebody else not looking at him? I cant remember if that was early enough for the LSU rumors once people knew Orgeron was out the door or not. Several people have claimed Woodward was going to have LSU offer a huge contract too, no reason not to believe multiple sources as it wasnt just our side (texags) that reported it.

Why no NFL teams? Why havent they come after Dabo? Bob Stoops in his prime? Lots of coaches do well in college and it doesnt translate to NFL (see probably the best coach in history that's in our divison right now). So that's not much of a point there.

Perplexing to say the least. Still... I don't mind an extension and a raise because that's what college football has come to in many ways.

What I can't comprehend is why his buyout is astronomical. Saw a post on the main board and Fishers buyout is almost double that of Dabo ($47M) and 2.5X that of Saban ($38M).

If Fisher himself had written the contract and buyout clause it wouldn't have been that bad. JFC.
