One committed to a guy coming off an 11-1 season, the other commited to a guy who lost 4 games each of the past two years, 3 by 14+ points last year.

I stayed out of the fray yesterday when the announcement was made. There was SO much emotion on display on both sides.
At the end of the day I think all fans will have to recalibrate what college football looks like.

I couldn't care less how much anyone gets paid at this point. I really don't care how players are getting eligible either. We are all playing by the same set of rules no matter how bad they are. Get it while you can and I don't fault any school for doing what they are allowed to do to win now.

For 12 mil a year I’m sure he will get over it.

Personally, I'm using the same thought process that I took with BK.
I understand a large, initial contract. You have to bring the guy to a new place where there's a lot of work to be done.
I don't understand re-upping a massive, guaranteed contract 2 or 3 years in, without some SUBSTANTIAL skins on the wall.
The dude is getting his money and time, regardless. If he needs more of a commitment than that, let him walk.
That's how Aggie screwed themselves with Jimbo. It's how Michigan State got in that mess with Mel Tucker.
A large buyout is already a problem, why exacerbate the issue?

One was committed to a guy who has made his conference championship game and the CFP playoffs twice in four years as a power four coach.
One was committed to a guy who has actually made zero playoff appearances in 11 years as a power four coach and got kept out of the playoffs by losing at home as a double digit favorite to a Kentucky team who only won a single SEC game that season - against him.
That is another way to look at it.
Another way to look at it is that Arkansas is paying $6.5 million/year for Ryan Silverfield. Maybe he will work out, probably not. If he does work out, someone will be paying him $10+ million/year in a few years. Maybe Arkansas, maybe someone else.
With the insane amount of money being tossed around, paying an extra $6 million for a coach that can get to conference championships and playoff appearances is a no brainer.
It is crazy what coaches are getting paid. But it is reality.

See you in 4 years when he gets fired for not living up to y’all’s expectations

Cignetti is a good coach but spending $15-20 million absolutely contributed to their run last year.
thinking the Hoosiers’ record over the last two seasons is primarily due to the amount of money they paid their players is the real reason so many “bluebloods” are struggling with the new realities of CFB

That's an intellectually dishonest point.
Kiffin earned a playoff appearance, he just didn't coach the game due to a technicality.
Also, there wasn't a playoff in 5 of his 11 years at the P4 level, for him to appear in.

Why is the first response an LSU fans making this about Lane unless you think Lane is doing what I described?
Because simpletons like you need things explained slowly, clearly, and in terms you’ll understand?
Just my guess.

It's a loser's mentality. Coaches compete to win championships. That is why they go to the bigger schools. It's a better chance to win more thus making it an easier route to have the success that they are looking for.

Lane was not mentioned at all. The only other coach that was described by me other than DeBoer was one who runs from a challenge.
Lane does not fit this category. He will he expected to win playoff games regularly now.
He could have gone 9-3 at ole miss for 10 years straight and get a statue.
I already stated this and somehow yall thought this was about Lane.

The entire argument that they're making here is going completely over your head.

Exactly which is why Lane and DeBoer went to better schools because they arent losers.
Its harder at Bama and LSU. Stress is crazy.
Its not easier. Yall are crazy if you think so.
He could go back to Washington and win 10 games immediately. Theres no stress or expectations. Theres not a fanbase eating your eyes out or spoiled diva t stars who think they need to make 3 mil a year.
Indiana won a natty 3 and 4 stars

Easier to win a championship at Washington or Bama?
Easier to win a championship at Ole Miss or LSU?
Ole Miss has never even been to the SEC championship game. But, sure, it's harder to win at LSU.

But, that isn't his objective.This point has nothing to do with anything at all. Absolutely NOTHING.

All of the teams with the top rosters dipped out of the playoffs early.
Miami and Indiana had the worst 2 P5 rosters in the playoffs.

No way you typed that with a straight face and meant it.

What are they stressing about? If they get fired, they're set for life and don't have to work.
Sure, the expectations are higher but they also have more resources.
The coach at Alabama has an exponentially better career situation than someone at a G5 and still quite a bit better than someone at a mid tier P4.
