Best way to take care of miles

1. USC is looking for a coach. UGA may be soon as well... That's too much competition to search for a coach this offseason
2. This recruiting class is too good to give up on
3. Buyout is too much
So what to do? Give miles an ultimatum. Sec championship or he's gone next year. Get a new OC and give him complete control. This will give us an sec title next year or head start on a new coach

Hire him an OC and QB coach.

I'm sure that ultimatum has already been made and am equally sure that's why Chavis fought so hard to strong-arm his way into a longer contract without the "Miles Clause"
In any event, I think most people are fine with this. Even Miles's most devout supporters realize that five years without making it to Atlanta is too long.

Boosters said they have enough $ to pay the buyout. Try again

We are powerless to give ultimatums to Les Miles. If we try to, he'll just say "No," Then what will you do? Fire him? Oh no, don't throw him in THAT briar patch! 
The way to handle Miles is to give him one more year. Our AD should spend the next year looking for a young coach with Head Coaching experience. It doesn't have to be at a major school, either.
If Miles doesn't win the West next year, bring in the youngster as Head Coach in waiting, and give Miles one more year. That enables a very smooth transition to the new guy and doesn't interrupt Miles' recruiting machine. It also lessens the financial blow to two years of salary, which can probably be negotiated down to half that. Manageable.

What a cute little answer.

I personally think for the good of the program, a change should be made after this season, but I know that won't happen.
So yes ... the pumpers have backed off of their "this is the year!" spiel and are now claiming they knew the team would be "young" this year.
No matter. Next year there are no excuses personnel-wise.
Les either wins the SEC and/or makes a playoff appearance or he's gone.
That is exceedingly fair.
Other alternative ... Les announces now he is retiring after 2016 and next season is his farewell tour and we have a chance to thank him for what he has done, and coaches know the LSU job will be coming open in 2017.

Miles isn't going anywhere so stop wasting time speculating how to replace him.

EVERY year is always too much competition for too many Ranters.
Florida, Texas, penn state, Michigan are teams you would have mentioned in recent years.
Next year could be,
Texas, and aTm (sumlin seems to always be a hot name). If you have faith in your program; which you should:
Recruiting, #1 reason
Coach salary
fanbase (yes, even now)
Conference
------looking for a coach doesn't start today. The day a coach gets hired, he's on the clock due to the network of ADs and agents, ask Charlie strong. He didn't have a clear vote of confidence the day he walked on.
Miles has had ten years and knows that there were times that he had to get his cardboard box ready to empty his drawers.
But "luck" and chance ironically kept him here. BOS and AD as well as any other powers that be, send out feelers.
They know who's interested and who's not: who's ready to pull the trigger and who's happy where they are.
They know the few nfl guys that want to move to college ball, they know the college coaches that aren't looking for anything but nfl.
But by all means, don't act like lsu isn't a top10 program. That is the same wins/losses expectations that the pumpers have had for the last 3 years, verbally destroying any poster that expected more. When did the pumpers turn into Ole miss fans? Understanding "seasonal expectations" and "simply expecting more over a period of time to get our shite together"are two different things.
Same it true for LSU. Remember what the program is capable of and you will realize that LSU is a coaching destination.
"hallman'ardo" couldn't even ruin lsu. A top flight great(not just good) coach WANTS to come to LSU.
You may see that a top flight coach says to himself that not even Milesveto can tank at LSU, but the new guy just needs to realize that expectations are high here, and he will take the job knowing that. In fact, being at LSU will increase his football wherewithal because he might not have ever experienced a program like us.

Makes sense

I agree it's time for changes to be made. Miles has been a consistent, winning coach for us, but he's just not getting the most out of the talent we receive, anymore. Like he said, "There's just something I'm not doing right". And I agree with him. Yes, he's a "good recruiter", but it's Wilson and Coach O that do the brute work there. I would like to see a change made after this season, however, I believe that would ruin a VERY talented team we'll have next year. So, I say give him one more year with ultimatums. If you don't win the SEC, you're out. Bama will have a very young team next year, plus we play them at home. We should run the table next year with the experience and talent we'll have... Keyword - "should". But under Miles, we "should've" done a lot more.

Make him get rid of Cam, Grimes, Peveto, and Steele and give him another shot as long has he agrees to let go of the offense. Do a Bobby Bowden on him. Make him just the figure head.
Posted on 11/17/15 at 9:37 am to GermantownTiger
Just keep everyone but Peveto and Cam. Promote Emsfinger to OC and have Ball and Grimes coach the TE. Hire a lb coach and ST coach.

Get rid of that sad sack Alleva, Slide Les to AD.
We get a guy with a great personality, who has an economics degree from Michigan to run the Athletic department, and get money. And we get rid of that Spineless SOB from Duke.

give it a rest... miles is staying and we're just going to continue to get amazing recruiting with awful gameplans
however, I could easily see us parting ways with cameron

The best way to take care of Miles is to fire Alleva and let Miles take his place. Guy would be a great AD and is a terrific ambassador of LSU. Heck is there recruiting restrictions as an AD?
Posted on 11/17/15 at 6:03 pm to GermantownTiger
Ultimatums don't mean shite in contracts. That's ignorant
Posted on 11/17/15 at 7:35 pm to GermantownTiger
So is Steele going to 'magically' become a championship caliber DC, because I haven't seen it this year out of him.
