Rumor is that Orgeron is making 900K. That's what me made 2 years ago at Ole Miss. So he is getting paid exactly the same as he was being a Head coach in the SEC with a lot less heartache. <font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></font>

650 k. which still makes him one of the highest paid assistants.

The 47-year-old Louisiana native had been intrgued by the chance to coach at LSU, a school he grew up rooting for. However he was ultimately swayed by the chance to work with new UT coach Lane Kiffin and his father, legendary defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin who also has relocated to Knoxville. Orgeron is expected to make $650,000 making him one of the nation's highest paid assistants.

that really is extraordinary -- a charmed life of sorts. That is an unbelievable amount of money to pay an assistant coach. How much was Mullen making.</p>

they also have to pay Monte Kiffin, I am guessing around 1 million a year.

his parachute payments are mitigated by whatever amount he makes in his next job. Like the guy or not, he chose to go to work right away. Given the damn golf cart and whatnot, I wonder if we will be so lucky? And I wonder if it ever matters or if Croom just gets his money no matter what.

Having future earnings net agasint the payout really is a fair thing to do.

The rumor is that he had begun swaying toward LSU because they were going to give him a $100K moving allowance. It is not clear to me who got the better end of the deal in this... the Saints, LSU, UTK, or Orgeron.
