But he has the leverage of knowing LSU isn’t gonna fire him. Not for another 2-3 years, LSU ain’t paying that massive buyout anytime soon

Harsin, Kelly, Freeze just get paid to suck and it doesn't matter because they'll be getting paid anyway. DeBoer has a similar contract, but at least he's shown he can win big games. It still a ridiculous buyout if he starts sucking like the above mentioned guys though.


DeBoer has won a lower percentage of his games than Kelly.

I don't understand this Bama belief that DeBoer is currently above Kelly's level of performance.

Kelly needs to fire Brad Davis at the end of the year.

Getting a push with only 3 d-lineman is inexcusable.

The thought process is that he has a massive ego and has never been fired before. He'd probably cite health issues or say he wants to spend time with his family then walk away with a settlement. If you already have $50 mil +, what's another $10-20 mil? Is it worth the public spectacle of being fired? Just depends on the person I guess.

suuuch a desperate cope, lmao

It’s nice to not be the school stuck with a coach past his prime who’s locked in to a massive contract. Way more fun being on this side of it


And… the same AD straddled both schools with the insane contract on the over the hill retread coach.

Personally, I think it might have something to do with DeBoer blowing LSU out at home last year and beating a top five team on the road to snap their 33 game home winning streak last night, but that's just me.

So it's an emotional overreaction?

Good point. Woodward likes to over pay for those used football coaches. Get ready to get Dabo for $12 mill a year 15 year deal.
