at your protesting.
18 million talks. bullshite walks.
Short of Miles resigning on his own, Miles will be our head coach for a few more years. There won't be a change made until the cost of retaining him outweighs the cost of firing him. Thank Skip.
There's nothing you can do about it.
No Brian Kelly
No Saban
No Spurrier
No Gruden
No Del Rio
It is all Miles.
Only Miles.
Whether you like it or not.
Miles' lawyers don't care what you think.

It's like having Bobby Bowden without all the past glory.

Miles strikes me as a man with class and would not enforce the full brunt of the contract...something reasonable would be worked out..
Isn't the buyout piece to protect LSU if he leaves for another job? If he get fired, then it seems it's would be much less than 18 million

I continue to doubt that we would have to pay the $18 million.
Negotiated settlement. Still pricey, but doable.

Any coach can be fired. To say a coach is unfirable because of 18 million is dumb. Its a lot of money but not as much as you think.

I still don't think money is the issue. It's precedent and LSU's image as a blood thirsty employer.

Yeah, he will say "Thanks for firing me and I'll just take just half of the buyout too."
Would YOU do that to an employer who fired you?

make a DVD of the Mississippi Meltdown and send it to prospective coaches. They will understand I promise.

Ole Miss is one loss. He's scraped through far too many times to establish a consistent pattern of incompetence. It's there, we all know it, but it isn't easy to prove.

Can you quote the contract conditions if Miles is fired in the event he lost the confidence of LSU nation?

Imagine having to work and live in a place where thousands and thousands of people do not accept you. Would you want to do it. Even if I was making 4 million a year, I would be depressed at that. Not to mention his wife and children having to listen to all the bashing of their daddy and husband. He will find somwhere to coach where people accept him and will gladly take him with his record.

The reason Miles won't be fired is because of his record, not because of the money. If Alleva/boosters wanted him gone badly enough, the buyout arbitration money (somewhere around $10 million I would guess) could be raised.

Fair point. But my question is, how long do I have to work there? If you tell me 2 yrs before I get a fat buyout, then atleast I'll try and stick it out.

From a personal standpoint I agree. I would never want a job like that with a family, even for 4 million a year. From a professional standpoint, the pressure comes with the nature of the business, and you are compensated for it.

one LSU premuim board moderator said today that this game is very important to Miles future.. per some big LSU contributor, or person of influence..tifwiw
How the players play is key, not so much victory, is what I got from the post

Im saying that he isnt going to give LSU a discount on his buyout just because he is a nice guy. This is his job and it is a business.

well, I agree, but I am suggesting we really don't know the legal jargon or the details of the contract if he is fired...
I think he would negotiate something less than 18m if it was 18 mil, if it meant he would booed at every corner of Louisiana..I mean the man has some character...he would do the right thing...I promise you he would..

The buyout is there for the coaches protection. The school compensation is there for LSU's protection. He would be a terrible business man if he didn't take all of his cash and there wouldn't be any point in making the buyout dollar figure what it is.
I don't know if there is a right or wrong thing here. It is just business.

It is sad to say, but i think you are right. We may not beat bama or ole miss or R kansas or florida for the next few years. By then the program may back slide so far that we could go back to the curly and Gerry days.

I agree with you for the most part. I don't see him leaving. My question is when does this moment take place? I see him to continue to struggle versus the SEC West over the next 2 years after this season. He will do enough to keep people on board like those happy with 7-8 in the SEC or an 8-5 season.
