Wow. Butch jones has the same buyout as Les miles.
Is there a worse ad in America than hart? Honest question
Quarterback will be a real weakness for LSU in 2016
If the Jimbo Fisher rumor is true, the SEC hasn't changed at all. Fisher has been underachieving--aside from the national championship season--in an underwhelming ACC when he had vastly superior talent than the rest of the conference, including Clemson. I'm just not sure why LSU's decision makers think Fisher is an upgrade worth this level of turmoil and amount of cash when the performance of the two is nearly identical and Les has coached in a much, much harder conference.
There is no comparison between the two situations. Fulmer's, whether you believe it was right or wrong, was at least justifiable from a recent win-loss perspective.
I would love nothing more than for LSU to go through a 6-10 year period of irrelevance like USC, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, Nebraska, etc etc for this. Those people are idiots if they think they can just land one elite coach after another, when other programs with more tradition than theirs can't.
I never believed Kiffin was going to work out long term..it just felt like a square peg deal the whole time to me. Never saw the USC thing happening like that though. There were other directions that would have been more beneficial to go. The right hire could have and would have kept the class together better.
