Source says Miles wants to stay - with assurances
A source close to the LSU program and a friend of Miles has told me the mad hatter is not looking to leave Baton Rouge. But he would like to see a commitment from the administration that he's not going to be fired after an eight win season.
LSU did not roll over his contract or extend his deal after LSU won eight and nine games after the 2008 and 2009 seasons. In fact after the 2009 season, LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva called the 2009 campaign a "nice season," but wanted more from the program.
Miles would be the first to admit LSU should play for championships every year, but if the Tigers come up short of that goal, he would like to see the administration stand behind him, instead of giving him a luke warm grade.

Not a bad request...

Seriously maybe Les just needs to go then, 8 win seasons shouldn't be acceptable here, and 9 win seasons these days when you play 13 is mediocre
Posted on 1/11/11 at 8:34 am to LSURussian
So he wants to be assured that if he doesn't do his job properly, he wont get fired?

Instead of 8 wins is a maybe, make it 9 wins is guaranteed. Regular season only.

Hmmmm.....um, no thanks Les, we won't settle for mediocrity.

I heard that on the radio a few minutes ago

I think Miles meant that people shouldn't freak out due to an occasional 8-win season.

are you kidding me. WTF is that Les. Nice negative thinking there if true. Come on

As an LSU fan, I try to be realistic, and I realize my alma mater won't win the NC every yr. At the same time, I get a less than warm and fuzzy feeling when I hear that our coach wants assurances "he won't be fired if he only wins 8 games." Wow, what an inspiring thing!
Posted on 1/11/11 at 8:36 am to LSURussian
Sounds to me like Les was paying attention to all the rumblings within the fanbase the last couple years. As he should.
Posted on 1/11/11 at 8:36 am to josh336
8 or 9 wins IS lukewarm. Not saying its horrible, but to cry that it got a lukewarm reception....wow.
Posted on 1/11/11 at 8:36 am to LSURussian
what a joke, Miles can get rid of a lazy qb but he can't be fired after an 8 win season?
Posted on 1/11/11 at 8:37 am to Chicken
I understand that, but we shouldn't put anything in contract form stating that shite

Wow, what an inspiring thing!

That's funny.
Yeah. LSU fans aren't spoiled and never expect down years like every other team in the country.
