Also, re: Orgeron, there's the matter of his buyout, which is 70% of what's left on his contract. Currently $21 million. That's not something LSU can easily swallow right now.
But his personal douchery is going to factor into his situation. There is a certain amount of that they'll put up with when you're winning. When you constantly embarrass yourself and the university, the leash is much shorter when you have nothing on the field to help your case.
We joke about shadowy men in smoke-filled rooms secretly pulling all the levers of a program. At LSU this is real, and the AD is more or less run by them. Some of them are going to have been burning up Woodward's phone Saturday night. Some of them don't care about Orgeron's personal life, but others will. It doesn't sit well with some of them what's happened in his marriage after 2019, and it doesn't sit well with any of them that he's constantly on Instagram with Bimbo Of The Week, particularly while his team flounders. There's the matter of his verbal sparring with a UCLA fan in the Sissy Blue incident, and all the way back to his ridiculous lie about Texas' locker room not having AC in the 2019 game. These are just off the top of my head.
They notice this stuff and it's going to matter. A guy like Miles got more rope because whatever his problems were, people liked him and as far as anyone knew he represented the school well.
The alternate way forward is maybe something like the fishing camp story is true and they'll use that or something like it to fire him for cause. And if they can't, well....you know Louisiana politicians....if they don't have a legal way out of the contract, they'll make one.
My guess is if they really want him gone, they'll figure out a way to do it without coughing up 21 mil.
