Let's say as some of you predicted (I was on the 14-0 wagon) that we finish 9-4 or 8-5 this year. Then lose the sr/jr that some say we might and go the same or worse next year. Miles will at the end of next year have 3 years left on his extended contract if I recall correctly (thru 2017). Do you extend him another 2 years for recruiting purposes, cut ties, or let him finish it out and see if he can win another SEC or Nation title?? It is going to be an interesting call and at that time the fan base may well be only 40-60 in Miles corner.

If he fails to land a great recruiting class on both sides, we can expect a significant decline over the next few years. Auburn is on it's way back. Ole Miss is building. Bama is Bama and aTm is real.

Just curios what many think would happen in that scenario. Other schools have gone different paths with different results.

I believe that contract was extended through 2019.

I thought it was set to go thru 2015 then it was extended last year an additional 2 years without a salary bump. Miles said the security was more important to him. Now we know why.

IMO, he's had more than enough extensions and more than enough pay raises. If I was Alleva , there would hav been no way in Hell Les would have pulled that crap with Arky and his best buddy Jeff Long to get another pay raise and/or extension.

Season isn't over. We can win if we do away with the ground and pound. On defense scrap the mustang and go to a attacking style with blitzes coming on every down. Players playing with a sense of urgency on every play, At the very least go out swinging for the fences.

NOLA 2/1/13:

"According to a NOLA.com report, Miles' buyout terms in the proposed deal are in LSU’s favor. If Miles is terminated without cause in any of the first three years of the contract, he receives $15 million; $12.9 million in years four or five; $8.6 million in year six; and in year seven, $4.3 million."

Time to rediscover my life and take a hiatus. But I'll leave w/ this, he's called 3rd and Chavis for a reason. LSU's shitty defensive gameplan made an All-American out of an average (at best) SEC QB. Bo Wallace?! He has the worst windup/delivery/throwing motion I've ever seen, but strangely, if you give ANYONE time to sit in the pocket, gain confidence, you get what you got last night. Chavis is a good, solid, defensive coach. (But he isn't worth $1 mil per, and neither is Lester worth whatever ridiculous sum he's plunking down). But he dials up stale, passive, gameplans, that the rest of the league is onto. They see him coming from a mile away. Like last night. No, he doesn't "dial up" shitty gameplans, he phones them in. Horrible. After watching a similar shitty gameplan let UGA beat the Tigers, I watched the Alabama defense crowd the line, blitz, pressure Ol Miss' 3d tier SEC QB all night, and they shut them out. Chavis DOES NOT LEARN from the past. If we had played an aggressive defense EVERY frickING GAME this season, we'd be undefeated.

Fire Miles? No. Because the idiots that hire coaches may very well frick up the hire (does the Bd of Supv's STILL want to hire Pelini??) I would love to see what Chris Peterson, or Charley Strong, could do w/ these players, facilities, etc. etc. etc.

Now, fire Studrawa? Yep. He wasn't a good OC, and he's not a very good OL coach, and apparently he's not a good recruiter.

Chavis? He's solid. That's all I can muster right now. He will continue to put together bad gameplans and allow subpar QBs to have time, gain confidence, and pick his defense apart. So, you tell me ... does that bode well for the future.

See ya.
