2017 Coaching Carousel

[Saint Greg]

Just had lunch with an LSU guy and he fully expects Orgeron to be gone. He said they beat 4 teams that fired their coach. I sort of thought they would all be excited about the turn around.

12 million dollar buyout. He's not going anywhere.

12 million dollar buyout. He's not going anywhere.

They paid/are paying $9M to get rid of Miles

Orgeron drops to $8.5M in 2018.

Yeah they aren't going to buy Miles out for 9 mil...Sign O to a new contract and then buy him out for 12mil a year later. I'm not making predictions on what they're going to do a year or more from now. They aren't firing him this year.

[KSDAWG]

Yeah, They are gonna pay two coachs 9 million a piece to sit at home. Ogeron ain't going anywhere.

A&M just upped the financial game. LSU will be pressured to move quickly if Orgeron lays an egg next year. Personally, I think he's likely gone after the 2019 season.

Just for laughs I'll just drop this here. From a November 7 column in the Orlando Sentinel:

FSU Coach Jimbo Fisher is NOT going to Texas A&M:

Jimbo just got $75 million for ten years. Those Aggies know how to throw money around. Does Saban get that much?

Saban signed an extension through 2024 worth $65 million. He gets 11 mil this year, then its back down to a meager 7.2 mil.

Saban averages more per year, but Jimbo's deal is the largest overall deal in NCAA history. Nobody gives a ten year contract. Saban's last deal was 8 years, $65 million. Both make a fortune, that's for sure.

Nobody said they were going to get rid of him this year. Next year was the predicition...

I love to see a P5 in turmoil. Even more enjoyable is an SEC P5 in turmoil.

I believe lsu will be in a similar situation this time next year.

I think I know, but how come none of the "big money" schools want Gary Patterson?

Beats me, but Patterson just may not be interested in making a move. He makes around $5M a year, is a living legend at TCU, and has carte blanche to run that program however he wants. I'd be happy with that, tbh.

You did not answer my question...Why do the big money schools NOT look to him.

You said, "he may not be interested".

His name has never come up. It would be a name of interest if...

"That's just karma."

I can't blame them for wanting to get away from his goofy contract, but it's their fault for signing him to it.
