Peter Burns Has An Idea For Future LSU Coach Contracts

That is the way it should be. Use it as a model and other schools will do the same.

THAT is what I'm talking about...not that exact scale. But it is nonsense that you get paid for a bad year the same amount that you get compensated for a good year. And the better year you have, the more money you get paid. His $20 million is probably too much for a national title but certainly a huge bump in the base salary is in order. I will say that I like that just because you win 1 national title, you don't automatically become the highest paid coach the next year also. If I remember right, Orgeron briefly became the highest paid coach simply for 1 amazing year.

I like it. Incentive based and doesn’t allow Scott to bankrupt the program again. Why is a Sports TV personality coming up with this framework and not our Athletic Director? I’ll wait.

Just give me college ball the way it used to be

You spend me right round

Been saying this for years...with just a $1M payday per win....nothing for losses....a bit simpler i know but I don't claim to be an agent...or on Board of Supervisors

Jimmy Sexton is rolling over laughing when he hears about this.

What an absurd statement. Go take an economics class, Peter. Then explain to us why the next coach would take that offer while being a solid candidate.

Will *someone* take that deal? Sure…if you dip low enough into the talent pool.

But the elite coaches will just keep on looking. And they’ll keep beating LSU.

This should be used for NIL

Make them earn it so they stay hungry!!! Every contract should be like this including pro athletes who seem to all of a sudden injured once they sign $$$ contracts!!!

Peter Burns is an lsu tiger for those who dont know....

It should be LSU that changes things since we are largely responsible for the skyrocketing coaching costs going back to Saban. And not just head coaches, we have inflated the assistant coaches salaries dramatically.
