re: LSU paid (will pay) Ed 46 million for 5 years as (non-interim) head coach

Damn. LSU will remain a poor school if they continue make dumb decisions like that. Why pay so much for ED? It's not like he had all these offers from the NFL or some big name program was going to come knocking.

They basically bid against themselves.

I understand he won big and deserved a raise, but the contract could have been more friendly towards the school if they decided to part ways. It's not like he had any real leverage.
