Nah it's cause O is a good boss. He doesn't micromanage because his employees don't understand what he is saying. He just points and thumbs up or shakes his head no. Works well and they figure it out themselves. If everyone had that arrangement it would be a better world.

There will come a point in time where Coach O will demand a raise - I mean he has earned hasn’t he? He was just at the house at someone on the LSU Board of Directors Sunday - I imagine he may have said something about it.
He's a Louisiana native that is the headcoach of LSU and is making upwards of $3M a year.
I fully expect he'll make more money than he is currently at some point in the near future, but the dude is already made. At a certain point coaching in your home state for your home team is more valuable than the extra money you could be making elsewhere.
Also, most other teams probably know he is heavily dependent upon his coordinators so who is going to pay him 5 or 6M a year (knowing they'll also have to pay ~2M per coordinator) to lure him away from LSU?

I mean. Florida is paying like 6 million to their head coach for a “not great year”.

That outlook is naive. He’s gonna get a raise.

Dave Aranda would be smarter to wait for a top job to open up. UNLV is a bad job to get.

Pay them far more than they could ever receive as a head coach at a lower tier school.
I think we have seen that with Aranda - it seems clear he wants to be a head coach but no one can match his $2.5 million salary.
Here’s to you LSU.
It is a good strategy, you price out all the Non Power 5 teams from hiring your Coordinators and then force a P5 team to go the Coordinator route and hiring someone who has never been an HC. Lots of unknowns with that hiring strategy.

Something that he was smart enough to figure out. Seems like this should be a coaching model for a whole bunch of coaches who have a good name but has never won at the highest level.

Which is another reason I don't expect him to try and strongarm LSU too hard for a big raise. He's said multiple times that he has learned from his failures at Ole Miss to be more of a CEO type coach and let his assistants do their jobs. He knows that by getting less than other big time coaches (Saban/Meyer/Harbaugh/Jimbo) he is able spend more on getting top coordinators.
I expect he'll ask for a raise and he deserves it. People can argue his success is built upon his coordinators, but it was Orgeron that got them at LSU so he deserves credit for building this staff. If he is smart enough to put that together then he is smart enough to understand how much he can expect LSU to pay him while also shelling out what they are for Aranda (and soon Joe Brady).

Even O understands that the more money he gets, the less money his staff gets. When the day comes that he demands more money, you can expect the program to slowly start declining. Its why most colleges go through a cycle of ups and downs.

Sexton probably hates Ed O’s putting the team ahead of himself. Coach O probably is a man who can get by on 3 instead of 5 million.
Coach O is not a man of lavish means. He has a relatively average house, drives a company SUV and goes home and eats ham sandwiches.
