I have zero belief in the rumors, but wondered what his current contract is.

How many years does he have left? What is his buyout? Doesnt he have some sort of clause about automatic pay raises per what other coaches make?

Oh and he has lost 3 games in two years. its time to let him go

He is in the midst of a 7 year contract, FYI.

None if he chose to leave for Arkansas and that is all that matters at this point.

What's funny is you specifically, and Arkansas fans in general, don't even think Les is a good coach. Now Arkansas fans have to reveal their secret jealousy and lust over a real coach they have harbored all this time.

Let's just say, it behooves all parties involved that Les get a raise.

If I read that correctly, he gets whatever the highest paid coach in the SEC gets plus $1000. is that correct?

This clause goes into effect when he wins a NC, right now Saban is the highest paid in the SEC.

He didn't leave his dream job in Michigan when he had the chance, there is no fricking way he leaves for the dumpster fire known as arkansas..

You do not always get a 2nd chance in life, and there are not that many destination jobs across the country.

Tough decision facing Les Miles, does he stay at a program where he reached its ceiling in 07 and was beaten by one destination job and passed on another or does he jump at what is normally a once in a life time opportunity, one that he now has a 2nd chance at, and try to compete with Saban for the amount of first place rings, crystal footballs, and bronze statues he can stockpile at a destination job?

Saban realized this, it is why he was so eager to leave LSU as well.

He is currently making 3.75M/yr and I believe they restructured his contract for an extension in 2011 for 7 years.

nice trolling. Saban is only at Bama because it was the job open when he wanted to return. If LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, or USC came calling for Saban at the time Bama did, he'd be the coach at that school. He just really wanted to get back in the college game, and Bama had an opening and a large checkbook.

Saban has already said he made a mistake leaving LSU.

Approximately 4 mil per year, plus all the grass and boogers he can eat.

I caught that too

Arkansas is a middle level job in the SEC and this idiot thinks it is a destination job?

SEC jobs ranking in my opinion
1 Florida
2 Alabama
3 LSU
4 UGA
5 Tennessee
6 Auburn
7 TAMU
8 Arkansas
9 USCe
10 Missouri
11 Miss State
12 Ole Miss
13 Kentucky
14 Vanderbilt

Much easier to sustain success at UGA than Tenn

Instate recruiting alone would make UGA a better job than TENN but there is more than that
