Ed Orgeron betrayed LSU

How?

By willfully not doing his best at the job. He knew the requirements of the job yet chose to fall short. It’s not like Curly Hallman (or Billy Napier or even Tom Herman), who honestly tried his best, but was just overmatched for the job.

That is betrayal.

This is brilliant. Thank you for edifying us all.

I regret that I have but one upvote to give.

He can do whatever he wants for whomever else he wants. LSU will prevail no matter what he decides to do.

Ed Orgeron betrayed LSU and deserves to receive nothing in material compensation from us for the rest of his natural life.

I will repeat my sentiment from earlier. Ed Orgeron betrayed our university by giving less than his best and then laughed about his buyout on a televised interview. He should never work here again under any capacity.

The end.

Why wouldn’t he? Dude loves LSU and fumbled the greatest opportunity of his life. A motivated Ed O would me be a recruiting menace

I seriously can’t believe any of us think this. Ed O DOES NOT LOVE LSU.. He purposefully and intentionally put himself, his ego, his laziness and his desires ahead of LSU. And then laughed about it. He has no business on an LSU sideline.

2 huge points on Kiffin

1) He has publicly stated (on McAfee’s show) that money is not his motivator. Said that Sexton HATES it when he says it, but he is not concerned about the money.

2) He knows that Kiffin at LSU has an easier route to the playoffs than does Kiffin at Ole Miss, in part because LSU and Ole Miss play each other every year. He likely assumes that the coach that LSU will hire will be a quality coach ahead a quality program, while the coach that Ole Miss would hire, should he leave, will be of lessor quality and will lead a lessor program. Therefore, if he is on the LSU side, the Ole Miss side is weaker, than if he remains on the Ole Miss said against a strong LSU.

Correct.

My proposal:

$8 million per year for 5 years, 75% guaranteed (so $30 million guaranteed)
But load it with incentives:
* $1 Million qualify for SEC CG
* $1 Million win the SEC CG
* $2 Million qualify for the playoffs
* $1 Million for each playoff round won (or $1 million additional for earning first round bye). 12/8/4/2 - possible to earn $4 million here
* $3 Million win the national championship

So in a NC year, coach would earn up to $19 million

Additionally, any year in which he wins at least 10 games, contract is automatically guaranteed for the next 5 years
Additionally, any year in which he wins the SEC, the base pay goes up $1 Million; should he win the natty, base pay goes up $2 million

That’s the point. You aren’t being cheap. If he is who he says he is, then he makes on level with or far more than his peers. If he does not deliver, he bears more of the responsibility.

Agreed. This proposal would see the potential coach earn more than any of his peers should he meet our goals and his, and provide opportunity for long term security due to continued success.

Had we had Kelly under these terms, we would have been in year 2 of his current renewed 5 year contract and would have only owed him $18 for the remaining 3 years

well I’m really smart and good at typing so it didn’t take much effort.
