His first 3 years he used someones elses QBs to get there The only other years he did it was when he was forced to play Jarrett Lee, even tho he hated the thought of doing that, or putting all his eggs into a JuCo transfer (see Chizik) So the 10+ seasons werent because of his want to recruit and develop


Miles received two raises at LSU not 3. And I would argue he didnt get the raise during the harbough hire because he hadnt just won the sec the season prior.

I dont know man, you seem full of shite. The first contract shouldnt matter if he flirted with michigan or not. LSu signed a contract saying he would be the highest paid coach for winning the title, he did that in 07. That is on LSU for making those stipulations, not Les Miles.

The second raise you may be right, but then again it came in the same calendar year he played for a national title. I dont think that's a coincidence. And if the numbers you posted were correct, then Les took a pay cut to stay at LSU. And if it was about money, then why not leave for Arkansas when they have a better deal on the table?

None of what you are saying adds up.

He proved time and time again that it was all about business. So now that he's on the losing end of a buisness deal, people act like "How could we treat him like that?"


Amen!! He used the great LSU program he so dearly loves to get a ridiculous contract, but he's being treated "badly".

The 3rd raise was his ridiculous buyout. Which he had not earned

His contract called for bonuses for getting to the BCS, and it was paid. The way he lost did not warrant a raise, yet he got the huge buyout instead

And you made my point about Arky? Why? If he was so loyal to turn down Mich, then the Arky conversation should have been short and sweet. But it wasnt. Wonder why?

So don't feel bad when other coaches use LSU to get a raise
