Will one of you confirm the stipulation regarding Miles contract buyout (from LSU) and his next 'income' if hired. In other words I believe the contract stipulates that LSU has to maintain his current annual total compensation less income from a new full time position (e.g. head coach at USC). I may be wrong. If correct then genius or extremely lucky for Alleva and the buffoons that are the media can eat crow.

Miles to USC?

Usually it's doesn't matter if they get another job. I can remember several coaches with a job and still getting paid. Think Charlie Weiss was getting 2-3 checks from old employers at same time for not coaching

I don't think that's necessarily true.

What if Les signs to coach USC for $1 a year. Then LSU is paying him $5 million to coach somewhere else.

Please tell me LSU did not sign a contract like this!

It's like alimony. Your paid this as long as you aren't working. If you find a job, we only pay the difference. This was the case with Butch Davis when Saban left

USC doesn't want Miles, so it's a moot point. The best scenario for Miles to coach another team is a mid-major like a MAC team or a school like indiana that's a basketball school, and would love to have a 2-3 loss football team every year. That's how they define success.

Those schools wouldn't pay more than 1-2 million per year, but certainly it would offset the salary we owe him. And the above poster is wrong, the clause DOES state that any new salary is offsetting to what he is owed by LSU . Not saying any of those schools have a coaching position open. Just giving examples.

No major college wants miles. The free market will soon confirm what most of us has known for years. The only people foaming at the mouth for miles are a few deranged td posters who got no coin.

Mikes could accept a buyout of contract, so it wouldn't matter if he had another job. Pretty sure he gets paid if he gets another job otherwise the buyout wouldn't even be an issue. He will get a good (not great) job in big 12/10 IMO. Peeps who think he will only coach in the MAC or like that are way off.

It depends on the buyout language in the contract.

When Auburn got rid of Chizik, his buyout stated he was owed X per year for the next so many years. When he took the job at UNC, the payments from Auburn dropped to X-UNC compensation. CGC is still making the same amount of money from his buyout, but part is coming from AU and part from UNC.

Muschamp, on the other hand, had a buyout with UF where he was paid the entire amount, no matter what his future compensation was. So he is getting the full amount of his UF buyout plus whatever Auburn is paying him.

The deal is probably void if you pull something like that. But miles could still safely take a two or three million dollar salary and have LSU supplement the rest. Might make him pretty attractive to some other school.

Also, lol that someone things he's an list candidate for the USC job and y'all want him fires from LSU.

If miles if fired, he gets the remainder of his contract. If he is bought out, he is free and clear. If he leaves LSU for another coaching job, LSU doesn't owe him anything.

USCe would make some sense, he could compete in the East and his supposed serious recruiting skills and inroads to Louisiana and other areas in the SEC could be golden for USCe. Pay him a couple of hundred thousand a year and we pick up the rest of our 4 million+, and USCe gives him a deferred retirement bonus to pick up the real salary to which he would have been entitled.

I don't see this happening, but Miles would definitely bring some much needed class and respect to their program.
