If Coach had no buyout do you think he would be here next yr

It's all about the money. Always has been, always will be.

Winning cures everything. As of today, he would still be the LSU coach next year imho.

Brain surgeon...You don't fire a guy who averages 9 possibly 10 wins a year...Who wants to come coach here if that happens...Contrary to popular belief on this board every coach with a name is not knocking on LSU's door... You fire Miles and you get nobody and recruiting goes to crap as well!

I think that Miles would have one more year and would be forced to bring in another OC. Crowton will be gone after bowl game because their is no way you can keep him. Miles knows he has one more year and it's BCS bound or bust and Crowton is not doing the job. Still had trouble moving the ball against a bad Arkansas defense.

I'd say they'd keep him.....but that doesn't have to be the right decision! Hopefully, Crowton is fired in the off-season. We desparately need a coach that can groom QBs. So far, Lee and Jefferson stink.....is that their talent or the coaches around them?

I agree about Crowton being fired.... But Miles will not be gone...Once again, you do not get in the habit of firing 10 win coaches!

I still am not sold on jj, I see no improvement since the first game. Still can't make a decision. Thus continous sacks. My biggest fear is next year we will still be looking for a qb.

Of course we don't have a good quarterback. Jefferson is not much, and I think this is about as good as he's gonna get. And as far as Miles, this win just shows how far the program, and the acceptance of it, have fallen. To think that people are praising a pull out your arse win in OT at home against an unranked Arkansas as some great showing and sign that things are back on track, is a fricking joke! Hell, the last 2 years, things were never ON TRACK! NEVER! And I know the Miles apologist's are gonna come with the standard crap that "hey it's a win man, be happy", and hey 9-3 ain't bad and how do you fire a coach who is this and that! Well you can fire a coach who inherited a great program, and in the last two years where his players have mainly been on the field, and his coaching philosophy has guided them, they have gone 8-8 in the SEC and have had numerous other pathetic performances and escaped being ahead on the scoreboard. But there has been an incredible obvious decline in the program, and it will continue next year! Miles will never lead LSU to another BCS bowl game, EVER. At best under Chuckles, LSU will be looking at Cotton Bowl, or Cap 1 maybe, and then Peach (or Chick Filet,whatever) and then Liberty! So I guess people will be satisfied with being 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th best in SEC every year, and hoping for a 2nd tier New Years day bowl, or 3rd tier bowl period! Get used to it or worse! And all this at the low low price of just 3.8 million and 99 cents.
