Better question: Why the hell would this guy leave LSU to come to Auburn? Is money the only factor?

The ice under The Hat and The Visor is equally thin.

Maybe he's tired of pre-game meals consisting primarily of corndogs?

You begin to question if it was a Van Gorder type move; especially since LSU returns almost every player.

Good question. A quick check of K's Googled Chromes shows Steele is currently making a cool $1 million with $125K in incentives. On the surface, I'd say there's no reason to throw Muschamp money at this guy. Seems it would be a good hire but to up a $1 million a year salary significantly?

But then, this is Jay Jacobs and Auburn.

I'd be hard pressed to leave a defense that had Arden Key. That kid is seriously good. LSU two-deep has at least ten freshmen and sophomores, nine juniors.

Am I excited over Kevin Steele leaving that to come to AU? Not so much. LSU people say he didn't mesh with Orgeron and given the choice of keeping one or the other, Miles sided with yaw yaw yaw.

I'd give him $500,000 per game, with a bonus for every quarter the opponent scores less than 21, and a discount double check for every win. No buyout whatsoever except the one we have to pay him if he fails (eleventy three million if he's fired) or what we pay him if he takes another job (forty sixtillion if he is hired as DC by another school, sexteen kabullion if he takes a head coaching job at a rival).

Work it out, Jay.

Lester isn't as stupid as he appears. Would like to have O coaching our D.

In the end, their D this year was 'good'. Not Bama or even UGA, but it was good. Top 30. And thats with 70% underclassmen. Apparently, at LSU that gets you a noose. At Auburn doing that, he would be King of the Town. Perspective.

Only if Auburn's offense is worth a shit. Not sure top 30 would win shit with our offense looking like this year...

I have to think like what GF or someone else said a while back....that the O being like this is more an anamoly than the norm. If White plays the whole year, Top 30 would have won a lot of games. Its better than being 90th I guess.

Looks like all fingers point to Steele. Did not see this coming at all. I'm wondering all long Gus knew this and perhaps all the other names were just a smoke screen. Just looks like Gus knew for a while and was waiting of LSU to finish up their game.
