During that era he was the second-best offensive mind I've ever seen (barely behind Sark), but there's a reason he wasn't considered for the head coaching position at Alabama.

I just want him to focus on LSU : /

If you listen to it in context, I don't think he said Bama made Saban retire. I think he said that there are times where people think it ended on the coach's terms when it didn't. Don't think he meant to say that's for sure the case with Saban.

have my issues with Lane and how he left and I hope and pray his sobriety continues the rest of his life. But the last few months he has made some questionable comments publicly and is hanging around with LSU tennis players which makes me wonder if he’s dipping his toes a little bit.

Surely there isn’t more than one school that is dumb enough to hire a single coach they fired, let alone 2 in a matter of weeks.

It’s Just Different down there I guess

Virginia Tech fired their head coach and then he became their defensive coordinator.

So the team is paying a HC salary for DC work and you thought it was a good example to make LSU look better?
Not sure lumping your favorite school in a category with Virginia Tech is ever a good thing. It’s Virginia Tech

No. He was fired and then rehired.

I don't think it reflects on LSU either way. I was just answering your question.

For cause? Then, yes, he is.

I don't know what you're even trying to argue.
Pry was indisputably fired as their head coach, they paid a buyout. He was later rehired as their defensive coordinator.

In other words, they are paying a HC salary for DC work as was stated before. The struggle is real

If you're counting the buyout as part of his salary.

His buyout had mitigation in it, which his DC salary offset. They’re literally paying him more than DC money over multiple years to do DC work. The struggle is very, very real.

I'll take your word for it. How does that change anything?

I would think a stronger argument is that they are paying him nothing for his DC services.
The buyout was amount was due to him no matter what. If he didn't take any job at all, they would still be paying him the same amount. Now, he is coaching for him which that salary is offsetting part of the buyout. Either way, they are paying him the same.
