A couple of years ago his football background told him Miles was seriously considering bolting to Arkansas and he should give him a raise and lock him up for 7 freaking years.



Not you nor I have any idea how that unfolded. Les wanted to unjustifiably break the bank (post Clemson 2012, really Les?) for a divisional rival that has a lower ceiling than us. Miles might have cared that much more about money than his time at LSU, who knows?

When an organization has been great to you and lined your pockets, you don't threaten to bail when it wasn't even appropriate.

I'm just in disbelief you guys aren't even a little mad Les Miles actually did that. That wasn't the tone when Chavis walked out on us to a divisional rival.

The raise was agreed upon before the Clemson game and was his first raise since after the 2007 national championship. He deserved it at the time.
