LSU fired the architect of the greatest team in school history—a local guy who loved LSU—to install a coach who never won anything, then they took a $54MM haircut to fire him so they could be early to court a journeyman coach at Ole Miss who never won anything with another fat guarantee.

Well the architect had pretty much lost himself and thought he was a player instead of the head coach. And they took a $17m haircut to get rid of him. These people couldn’t hit their own arse with radar.

Honestly, this shite and the rumored 90 million to Kiffin, who I now hope turns down LSU, is just sickening. This game is just not worth this much greed. frick college football if it has come to this.

You know what was a good game today? The Harvard -Yale game. Two teams playing good football for the most part just for the love of the game. It was refreshing to watch. No superheroes. Just really good quality content.

Well, good for him. A deal is a deal.

He got his money, but it cost him his reputation and pride, if he even has any. He will be remembered as a failed coach. If you can't win at LSU, you're a failure and CBK is a failure. A rich failure.

Jesus. I can’t believe I accidentally hit the upvote button. This might be one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever read. Was he, or was he not, the head coach of one of the greatest teams of all time? It may have gone downhill quickly, but he still gets credit for what he was able to accomplish. BK can’t even hold Os jockstrap.

Check out his record…he actually won quite a bit at LSU. He just didn’t get us to the playoffs and the fans got impatient. Our impatience cost us $54MM.

Should the board of supervisors maintain their position? They agreed to this deal, so should they not be held accountable?

I would make LSU pay every single penny.
