quote: "The coaching business is a competitive one and it is important to compensate our coach for his accomplishments and his worth," Alleva said. "Les has not received a pay increase since his salary was automatically elevated following our national championship in 2007 and he has continued to keep LSU on the national stage.
"Our intent was to address his contract following this year's bowl game, but speculation about other job opportunities accelerated our process a little," Alleva said. "I think we have accomplished the important step of securing Les Miles as our head coach for the long-term good of the program."

That doesn't sound like a coach who is committed to a program.

Mad at JL for costing LSU and extra million or so a year that they can't spend elsewhere by trolling you with a supposed offer no one in their right mind believes was legitimate.

frick this Miles leveraging BS
I would have told Miles to carry his arse to Arkansas or he could just live with his contract. I don't understand why we feel Miles has leverage in this particular situation.
Don't get me wrong I love Les but I would have made him look stupid in that situation.
