2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

[Yup!]

He also had Joe Brady as his OC. He and Burrow were a lethal combo for opponents to face.

And Justin Jefferson that championship team was loaded… I honestly don’t think it was fair Orgeron was fired when two of his best players are out this year. That may have been the reason for the down year.

I know nothing about contracts but how did Orgeron's work? He signed a six year contract in January 2020. He was making an annual salary of around $9 million. Why is he only getting a $16.9 million buyout if he wasn't fired for cause? He is getting a lot of money but I would have expected it to be more. I realize that he failed to report sexual allegations on his watch. Is that the reason why?

 

[HCCForever]

Thanks for the info Huskymedic. As Orgeron said, " I'll have enough money to buy me a hamburger".

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Printing money…

Holy crap. Makes whoever is contemplating hiring him think long & hard. Dude making serious bank on that buyout.

I'd say UConn makes a push for him, but some definite yellow/red flags...

Bot to mention, I'm not sure I could handle listening to his "Cookie Monster meets Oscar the Grouch" voice...

If he can get us on the right track I'll take that all day long.. "Go Huskies"

I would not touch him with a 10' Pole. Guy i think went 0-11, at Ole Miss. He's a rah rah type that won it all with 1st overall pick in the NFL draft and a loaded roster. He can recruit but LSU has bagmen to help with that. He is NOT the type of guy we need. Thankfully he'd never come here.

 

[DoctorWho85]

I wonder if Chizik would come here.

 

[DoctorWho85]

He's going P5. He'd be crazy not to

He's in the P5 already. Cincy got the golden ticket.

 

[noeynox]

I wonder if Chizik would come here.

Would you want him? I wouldn't.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[DoctorWho85]

Would you want him? I wouldn't.

We could always go after Houston Nutt.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Until LSU offers him even more money.

 

[Ajs120102]

wouldn’t be shocked to see Moorhead taken off the board here.

 

[huskymedic]

Moorhead mention (no surprise):

 

[Uconnalliance]

Any truth to Tony Reno rumor??

Any truth to Tony Reno rumor??

What rumor?

 

[Hoophound]

I sure hope not. That would be wildly underwhelming.

[ShakyTheMohel]

That would be like getting Ollie after UConn canned him....you really want that?

I just want to hear him say ahbeetz!

Does anyone else find this totally ironic to be reading this on a UCONN fan board. We are only a sniff away from Kevin Ollie winning the 2014 NC and we are an organization which fired a guy.

I think both Orgeron and Ollie have the same symptoms. Fully capable to perform part of the requirements of Blue Blood HC in a major NCAA sport; but, not capable to be the Program guy in all components. And LSU will pay the price. I continue to find perplexing the buyout of Ollie - an unpopular opinion whereby other board members yell loudly about violations etc (which, in my historic view, are not hugely extraordinary among hoop programs - hey they paid Kelvin Sampson). The pushback that OIlie was offered a fair resolution makes me a little more sanguine.

Kevin Ollie - my friends - is one story of the last 50 years that is notable. Win a NC. There's no other story like his. And I laugh at posts suggesting it was Shabazz Napier who coached. ok ok ... Orgeron had Joe Burrow.

If Kevin merely sucked, he would’ve gotten his buyout. But because Kevin sucked, cheated, lied about it to Benedict, lied about it to the NCAA, got a three-year show cause penalty which would have prevented him from coaching through the end of his contract, he didn’t get a buyout. Most people find it pretty easy to make a distinction between the two circumstances. To be completely honest, it’s hard to see why some struggle with it.

 

[CL82]

And he’s probably willing to pay Coaches big money as well.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

And he's taking Cincy with him. Big12!

Sure, until the OhioSU or ND coaching opportunities open.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Unlikely without bags to buy another Cam Newton and crew. So, NFW.

That didn't work with their DC search last year. They were turned down in spades.
