re: LSU’s 5-5 season cost nearly $22 million in coaching salaries

That’s completely fine, because LSU has proven that the coach doesn’t really matter. LSU is going to win championships. Been to four and won three over a 16 year span with three different coaching staffs, and all having a completely different makeup of players. Something no one else can say.

I’ll bet money that LSU wins another championship before diet Texas does.
