"Coach Miles deserves....."

But seriously, Coach Miles probably does deserve the chance to exit of his own accord instead of letting things get ugly at the end. An out and out firing would probably reflect poorly on the university as well.

Coach Miles deserves a thanks for what he's done and then kindly asked to take his $15MM on top of the $25MM he has already made and go peacefully into a warm breeze of some resort in the Caribbean for a few weeks.

Then he can get into the ESPN cycle as he is good TV.

Goodnight sweet prince.

You almost have to make a change now, damage is done by Alleva now.
Now the clock ticks on you.
You better make the right hire or you risk going the way Tenn, Texas and Fla have.
Even Bama is not immune to it after Stallings left and they had to get to Saban before they fixed it.
LSU job is a different animal and you are one decision away from a Hallman hire!

That said, is stubbornness and love for the dual threat QB cost him his job at LSU. He could have been a hall of fame coach had he stuck to competent, pro style QB's.

I disagree with this almost completely. Dual threat quarterbacks are the bees' knees in college football. Miles's problem is that he doesn't know how to utilize the talents of the QBs he recruits.

shite, now I am agreeing with Rex. Every national title outside of the Bama titles has been won with a QB that could run. You don't have the passing attacks you do in the NFL, so picking up a 3rd and 12 with the QB running or scrambling is HUGE.

Dammit Rex, I'm getting tired of agreeing with you. Stop being sensible!!!

Miles is a nice man and a good family man. He represents good principles etc.
Sadly, he is not a great coach. Besides being too stubborn he picks poor offensive coaches. Croton and Cameron are not teachers which is what young qbs' need. Miles has yet to recruit and develop a high school qb. Jeff and Jeff Jr. are too of the worst qb's in LSU history.
Additionally, Miles has never been accused of having a good game plan for any game and is out of his league when the dive play doesn't work.
He does deserve an exit with dignity though.

LMAO....Alabama had one....they got exposed in the first round of the playoffs....but, they won NC's in 2009, 2011, and 2012 without one.

In 2006 and 2008, there was Tebow....but I would HARDLY compare Tebow to an official dual threat like QB.....Tebow was actually smart, he just didn't have the arm talent.

LSU won NC's in 2003 and 2007 without one, of course, they lost one in 2011 with one.

In 2010....there was a dual threat qb that won a NC....but how many Cam Newton's come along?

2013....Winston really isn't dual threat qb at all....and let's face it, they got to play an Auburn team that should have had 4 losses.

In 2014....Ohio State shocked the world with inexperienced QB...and quite frankly with an offense that Saban hasn't been able to overcome in his career.......while countering ohio state with their own dual threat qb....lol.....then they got to face another dual threat attack against Oregon...lol.....

this year, Saban will likely win his 4th NC with Coker......another one...

Jefferson was a pro-style QB
Winston was a dual threat QB
Cam was a dual threat QB
Jones was a pro-style QB
