Excuse me sir, but it’s the aggies that come on here and think they can speak for all LSU fans by saying dumb shite. We already moved on and have coach O. You have a very good point in saying it’s timing with Jimbo cause it is. LSU is smart enough to not put 10 years 75mil dollar deals into a coach. Especially if it’s not Saban, Saban is the only coach that is worth that kind of money and maybe Dabo, but that’s it.


And maybe Dabo? This is how you make it obvious don't know what you're talking about. First off, Saban is probably worth $25 million a year to Alabama when it's all said and done. The number of out of state tuition checks going to Alabama from the last decade proves that alone. Given Clemson's profile before Dabo, he's probably worth $30 million.

LSU fans being butthurt over this is so strange. I mean I sort of get it, but it's still strange. A&M paid for a coach that LSU wanted, but LSU couldn't land. You lost to Troy. Orgeron is a terrible coach and is probably only worth $200k a year. A&M pays $2 million more a year than the going rate for one of the 4 active coaches with a natty. Over the 10 years of the contract this will probably regress to the average and will seem like a bargain. At the same time, LSU pays $4.3 million more a year than anyone else would pay for Orgeron. Whoop dee fricking do.

What swamp kittens fail to understand is that their program isn't special. Without Saban's players, they would have a longer natty drought than Ole Miss. A mediocre coach at LSU generates the same results as a mediocre coach anywhere else in the south. If Leach goes to Arkansas, LSU will have the 5th best coach in the SEC West, and the results will match that statistic. Nothing about LSU is special, or magical, or deserved just for existing. You didn't want to pay for a good coach because you can't afford one, and other schools are willing to pay for a good coach because they can afford one.

Once your fan base gets over itself and learns to accept these facts, maybe things will change. Until then, keep up with your loser's mentality, the rest of the division will appreciate it.
