The 0-24 streak will be promptly followed by the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012. Why worry about the $18.75 million buyout?
Very true. We'd have to play Tennessee next season, so Dooley will find a way to out-Miles Miles and LSU will win that one at least.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, Les and his staff earned it this year.
No, they didn't.
His Defensive, special teams and running back coach earned something this year. The rest didn't.

at a #8 finish, they earned it by any reasonable standard. If you want to carve out the OC, fine, but everyone else earned it.

a near $25M "buyout" is pretty ominous
Not if it doesn't roll over.
What is important is where the buyout is 3 years from now.

1) according to BelowPar, the buyout in 3 years is still $15 million. It doesn't even start dropping until after year 3.
2) I believe it's been mentioned, but the state limits the lengths of contracts to I believe 7 years, so he can't get it extended/rolled over if it is already at 7 years to begin with.

Big new arse contract?? it's nearly the same, no roll is a big help to lsu, the new revisions aren't that crazy at all...seems very fair to both sides to me
friggin' A it's reasonable. i don't see where some of these guys are coming from. top talent costs money. we are looking damn good for the next 3 yrs at least and i have no reason to doubt that les miles will not be worth it. and, by the way, thanks for your contributions belowpar. you are definately one of the posters on here i read and learn from.

If BP is correct about that, I'd be a little bit disappointed.
This is almost a homerun contract for LSU. If the buyout decreased immediately, then LSU would have effectively solved the problem of the buyout because Miles isn't going anywhere for 3 years minimum.
If it takes 2 years for the buyout to decrease then that means he needs to make it 5 years for LSU to really benefit. That's not as good, but it's better than sitting in a perpetual rollover contract with no end in sight.
Supposedly, the details of the changes are going to be made public tomorrow.

They could come out and say Les decided he has enough money and is coaching for free, and these guys will find a way to bash him for it. I just skip over those responses.

Why don't we declare a moratorium on what you "heard" and what "sources say"?
Odds are if the information has either of those words it's bullshite.

So basically, he could go 0-12 for the next two years in a row and he's still going to be owed $18.75 Million? That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard, but this is LSU we're talking about.

I think we'll find out "contract details" today at 10:30.

Not an attack on this post, but what is meant by "if he slips"? Like, slips like UF this year? Slips like Bama this year? Or epic slips like TX this year?

My point...EVERY program has "down" years. At what point is a "down" year understandable to the fan base in general here?
-
I'm one of those weirdos that understood that the removal of the cancer in spring 2008 was gonna leave LSU in a tough position for a couple of years. I also think it would have been wise to have more than a couple of freshman and a Harvard transfer ready if needed. But Urban Meyer had no doubt that Tebow was gone after last season, and he had nobody qualified to replace him. And before you say Cam, Cam was a cancer that Meyer should've removed himself. Instead, he waited until he saw the success Cam was having at AU to start leaking about his cheating at UF.
Mack Brown had 5 years to replace McCoy, but didn't have anyone ready.
-
IMO, LSU 2008 was no worse than UF or TX this season...and MUCH better than TX, in fact. Everyone has a down year or two. Miles has recovered with an 11-2 season, in the best conference, in a LOADED division. 5 of the 6 in the top 15, IIRC. The guy's good...no matter how weird/quirky he is. NOBODY is without flaw.
Excellent post!
