But it could be. I'm not talking about matching. I'm talking about betting the house. Millions are a pittance when talking about elevating a program.

Ill advised? Maybe. But do we just hang around and wait until someone snatches Kirby, then Drink if he continues to succeed? I realize Saban has assistants hired away like clockwork, but he has other high-talent assistants salivating to join his staff. Pretty sure we're not there yet.

At the end of the day, I have no idea if Baker is that good or if Moore is that good, or if Drink is that good, but at some point, you need to take a gamble. Sometimes maybe an outrageous gamble.

Yeah....I don't think going crazy on a coordinator is wise.

LSU might have been able to keep Dave Aranda in 2020 if we paid him $5 million, but why? If everybody in the program knows that we're paying you to prop up the HC, why shouldn't you be the HC?

Maybe Drinkwitz is worth a long term financial commitment, but that's gonna take an AD with balls and an ability to engage the booster base.
