In our current situation, why would we even get rid of Cameron. What OC wants to come and have their career bungled? We have two more years of Miles. Who knows, maybe we'll get another '07 or '11 type heart attack ride.

I don't really think Cameron is the problem. Les philosophy has destroyed the confidence of many a young QB. But, they do seem to get better, though it seems only incrementally.

Chavis, the suit says, refused to sign his new contract because of the clause, which “would allow LSU to terminate Chavis’ employment in the event Les Miles’ employment (is) terminated with LSU.”

How is this different than when any head coach gets fired?

Because you generally have to buy them out as we'll

Wouldn't termination trigger a buyout regardless? Or possibly part of being on the highest paid staff is there is no buyout upon termination in exchange for a higher salary up front?

Assistant buyouts often terminate or go down if the head coach is fired, where they would get their full amount if they were just let go. Chavis wanted a guaranteed buyout, which some top level coordinators get. Alleva didn't want to give it, which points forward to what just went down these last two weeks.

Its speculated that Miles will be receptive to coaching changes among the staff, one of the reasons he was kept on.


No way was that talked about and agreed to in that quick meeting in the lockerroom after the game yestersay

This wasnt decided a week ago

It was literally a spur of the moment decision to keep him

No finishing or stipulations were made

They met a week ago to discuss the future of LSU football and how Les plans to evolve the offense.

It will evolve by him hiring another OC where there will be a promise to change. And all we will hear about in the spring is how great the offense looks and then we will see the same ol'shite starting game 1

And Alleva won't be able to do shite about it.

Pretty much.

And on top of it, The Les Miles Clause, preventing any established OC to want to make the move.

and with TLMC in the contract, could end in considerable disappointment.


This is why I said that if you end up not firing Les after what has gone on the last couple of weeks, you're going to have to announce some sort of longer term plan, otherwise you've just castrated the program.
