Miles was hired to replace Saban? Have your feelings changed since?
I knew he wasn't good enough, and I was right. He isn't good enough for LSU.

If LSU is shelling out $4,000,000 a year, it should get an elite coach. LSU is wasting millions.

They weren't shelling out $4 million until after he brought home the trophy.

I wasnt too thrilled he had to win me over and was ready to go nuts after that tennessee game, but was happy after 11-2 11-2 12-2 with nc....

Last two seasons not so much, hes got to win me over again...

One thing I have noticed is how much people talk about our close wins in 2009, almost like theyre losses... One thing with miles he always won games like that here even in the years we went 11-2 11-2 and 12-2, there were several close games we could have lost...

LSU didn't hire him for 4MM a year. Actually, if you look up his initial contract, LSU was only paying him a little more than he was making at OSU in his first contract. I think it was around 1.8MM. He did not start making his current 3.5MM contract until he won the BCS Champ and Michigan was sniffing around. All the people bitching about how much he makes would be the same ones bitching if LSU did not give him a contract equal to that of other BCS Champ winning coaches and another team hired him away after the 2007 season with a 34-6 record. A record that included 2 division titles, 1 SEC title, 1 BCS title and a 3-0 bowl record including 2-0 in BCS bowls...all in his first 3 years.
