Damn some of you are dumb. You act like contract renegotations never happen in sports. They happen all the frickin time, so the "5 years remaining on his contract" are 100% irrelevant.
Yeah they happen when:
A. A contract is about to expire. We all know this wasn't the case.
B. the person has the option to leave and uses it as leverage.
If not A then obviously B.
I've never heard of a sports contract being renegotiated FIVE years out for no fricking reason.
Listen to yourself.

Fallacious argument. Those aren't the only possibilities.

PurpleandGold86 is the reason PR works. Somebody in Les' office was smart and told him to go do an interview where you deny that you used Arkansas as leverage to get a raise. Then praise LSU and talk about how wonderful it is. Maybe even mention your family and how great of an environment BR is.
Works on about 66% of people 95% of the time.

The first part is correct. However, it doesn't always mean the coach/player is using anything as leverage. Sometimes the school/team decides they want to give a coach/player a raise when they have the option to leave. Does not mean the coach/player used it as leverage.
You kept saying Miles threatened to leave. Where/when did he threaten to leave??
Maybe LSU gave him the raise overnight like they did because Arkansas offered him, but where was this "threatening to leave" BS published?
