. LSU can play super hardball and not date his termination til 1/1/16 if they want. That reduces the buyout to $12.9 million right there, so that's the ceiling on Les.


That's not feasible. We couldn't sign Jimbo on 1/1 for recruiting reasons. Nor could we sign Jimbo now and fire Les a month later and argue in good faith.

To actually fire him 1/1/16 would not be feasible. But when George Bass starts the bidding at "pay Miles $15 million," the first counter by LSU would be "fine, we'll let you twist in the wind for three weeks while the media crushes your legacy." He'd actually be gone immediately, but termination dated later.

Could work or not, but it's a strong ploy, and could hold up if challeged (it's essentially the basis of the Chavis suit). It's all just a negotiation at this point.
