People wanted other coaches

Nobody wanted Orgeron, so the buyout is questionable.

Buyouts exist for every coach. It's not like Orgeron got some ridiculous buyout. $8.5M after year 1 is very low considering the market. There's really nothing questionable about it. You dont sign coaches without buyouts these days, and his isn't even his salary guaranteed or close to it.

If Orgeron were to not work out after year 2 or year 3, his buyout is basically peanuts. He was never getting fired after 1 year unless the program completely tanked and missed a bowl game.

shows what you know.

as you SHOULD KNOW, coaching searches are all about timing and selecting the "right" coach is a crap shoot. coach O is still in the running for a good hire but some people (even those with no knowledge, such as yourself) keep dissing on him. plenty of LSU fans do but outsiders with no info is over the top

No coach at a major program signs a contract without a full guaranteed buyout anymore. And O's contract is pretty small comparative to his peers

Majority wanted other coaches. Personally , I wanted to see O get the chance. I stick by that, after all how are Herman and Jimbo doing? They were going to cost a hell of a lot more than O. A coaches success isn't guaranteed .
