re: So Les Miles held LSU hostage, as I said he would

How about we see the actual terms of a new deal before you begin throwing accusations and slitting your wrists.

The fact is LSU had no choice but to give him what he wanted

How do you figure?

This IS an attractive position. LSU could very easily have wished Les good luck and moved on to the next hire.

[quote]Its his alma mata calling at a time where this decision for better or for worse is his last coaching stop. He had to hear them out. By multiple reports I have seen the new contract does not up his salary, but gives him reassurances of support from an AD who did not hire him and was not around for his best years. It also ensures that he has more decision making power (which points towards truth on the rumors that the BOS wouldnt pay crowtons buy out last year). By no means did he hold LSU "hostage"[/quote

this.

how did he hold them hostage? he had to at least listen, he's not going to get another offer from them. I'd say if he went it was cause he wanted to coach there, not to win a title. you stay here to win a title. He's turned them down twice now for us and some folks still don't like them. he's passed on what in his own words is the 'dream job' does that not show his willingness and want to stay?

WTF are you talking about here?

Do you have some inside information on a new deal that was worked for miles?

What did he force LSU to give him by talking to Michigan? Please share!

Maybe we won't be so harsh on you if you can use some logic.

Until then...you are just being a douche bag drama queen.

...deuce985:

you. sir, are an eediot. Take a deep breath, and rethink yo thinking.
cuz right now, it is nonsense.

This redo was in the works BEFORE all this started, LSU want to redo this also.

To the OP,

Shut.
The.
Frick.
Up.

Going around on every board you can find to listen to your dribble...and nobody's listening. When nobody's listening, STFU.

I agree with you on that. The lsu administration definitely had to feel kind of backed in a corner. Especially because of this monster recruiting class that's supposed to sign in 3 weeks. It would have been hard to find a solid coach and save this class at the same time. But I just dont believe that Miles took lsu by the balls and tried to screw us long term.

I don't know the terms.

nuff said...you don't know crap! There may be no new deal at all for all you know, or it could just be minor tweaking of his current deal...save your drama.

Man we are angry!

Deuce, I suppose if the run down Burger King was offering you $4.95/hour you wouldn't let successful McDonalds paying you $4.75/hour have a chance to match or you might consider the Burger King offer.

Just wanted to state it in your language.
