You totally missed "wears 27 for the Phillies, 2+7=9".

You are not wrong, but look at it another way. What does it cost you if you don't get the big name coach? You could lose fan interest, revenue, prestige. It won't happen fast, but over time you could fall behind in revenue as other schools spend to increase it. It only takes one coach to ruin a program sometimes. ADs are terrified of this risk and being remembered for that.

No, they are not obsessed, but if they are high profile they can make similar kind of money at other programs and without the drama at LSU.

I could see that easily happening.

You have to believe they are going to make some unconventional demands, not just in terms of money, to protect themselves from meddling politicians, incompetent ADs, future litigation with school, and the definition of “cause”. The next coach’s contract could be far worse than Kelly’s if LSU doesn’t hire an up and comer.

It’s A&M and it’s not even close. That might start changing this year.

They never interview coaches on campus. Usually at a neutral location.

That’s not true at all. I’m surrounded by conservatives like myself, and they are all pissed at him. I didn’t think it was possible for Landry to piss of the MAGA crowd, especially after they totally ignored his ties to liberal trial lawyers, but he definitely did with his moves this past week. He did the one thing that could make people forget partisan politics in this state.

Interesting thought. This hasn't been talked about at all this week!

One of the dumbest takes of the year. Only a desperate person would take this deal. Reminds me of a relative of mine who kept saying everything was too expensive and then referred to pricing from 10 years ago. You don't understand the market and should be VERY suspicious of anyone that agrees to these terms.
