He has the 6th highest buyout in the Sec, and that is with him being a first year coach....

I am sorry the media sold you a lie you bought hook, line, and sinker

And? The buyout was entirely one sided. There was no way any other program was going to come lure Ed away from LSU. If no other program besides Ole Freaking Miss had offered him anything beyond position coach and recruiting coordinator in his 30+ years in coaching, it wasn't going to happen now.

That buyout was bad and Alleva got played. You all acknowledged as much after MSU & Troy. The internet is forever bro. We can find thread after thread of LSU fans complaining about the size of Ed's buyout.

What's the lie? Your coach - a career position coach who had shown no ability to lead a team of LSU's caliber to the levels LSU aspires to reach - was given a massive buyout as a knee jerk reaction by your AD to getting turned down by options 1 & 2.

He basically begged for the job (not a criticism) and had no leverage from his previous coaching record or his market demand. He signed a 3 year contract in part because LSU recognized he wasn't a sure thing, big time hire. There was no reason to give a $12 million buyout with that contract.
