Could Ed Orgeron Ever Be on the Hot Seat?
If LSU truly did want to part ways with Orgeron after his first season under his new contract, the school would have to pay a ridiculous buyout. According to contract details broken down by
The Advocate, his buyout is 70 percent of the remaining money owed on the contract. So that would be $27 million this year, $21 million next year and $16.8 million the following year.
