Is Miles really overpaid given the new salary ranges?

If bug-eyed bernie mack gets $5 million a year then no

Miles isn't overpaid.

And to answer the OP: no, he's not overpaid. He's right about where he ought to be.

Nope. He's underpaid. People can try to shite on Les as much as they want but that won't change the fact that he's accumulated the best ten year record in the sec. And most of it was with Jefferson and Lee at qb. He won a championship with Flynn on a bum ankle and had lazy arse Jamarkus who was benched for
tight end Marcus Randall by lord saban before that. Mett was a fantastic recovery after losing our most promising qb prospect in 2010 (Zach Lee) who was leading 7on7s all summer. Les just gets it done without a Red Elephant club and without the he head of officiating in his back pocket and he deserves a bit more credit than he gets. Saban is really really good, but he ain't that good. Les gets after him on the field every single damn year. Some of these wannabe critics need to go pull for a&m and see how they feel when they get beat 59-0.

I think most of the high paid college coaches are overpaid- Where does it stop?

I love sports as much as the next guy but we are allowing the entertainment sector to define our culture. We accept thugs, cheating and who knows what else----

Years ago we played football, built character in players.

Now many players are characters of interest

Yes. In the last few years salaries have skyrocketed. But LSU's standing in the SEC has fallen.

If you are honest with yourself LSU is in the middle the pack in the secw. We are paying our coaches a lot more than that.

LSU spares no expense for football.

We're talking 7 or 8 mil a year being the ceiling. Given this fact, would you really say Miles is overpaid? I think he's about where he should be.

Well. Look around the country at coaching salaries, then count the number of active head coaches who have won a national championship. There are 3 in the SEC; Spurrier, Saban, and Miles. Spurrier hasn't won anything in almost 2 decades.

The top paid coaches in the SEC are Saban, Sumlin, then Freeze and Miles tied at 3rd. Based purely off of on-field achievement in a relevant time frame Miles should be no worse than tied for second highest paid coach in the conference.

Maybe he shouldn't be paid more than he is, but Sumlin and Freeze should be paid less.

Nope, he's perfect at what he does. Needs more $.

Heck NO , No Raise To the Chicken Finger eater.
