There are intangibles related to being LSU's coach that are hard to put a dollar value on.
Yes, the NFL has deeper pockets, and the draw of the largest stage in professional sports.
But Les Miles lives in Baton Rouge, eats in Baton Rouge, goes to church in Baton Rouge, and is without a doubt the most popular man in town.
Unlike Saban, who is universally accepted as a great coach but terribly unfriendly, Miles is liked as a person on and off the field.
I'm not naive enough to say it can't or won't happen, but being HC of the LSU Tigers while the Tigers are a dominant program is a HUGE thing to walk away from. How do you put a dollar amount on that?
Saban put a dollar value on it, but his personality is completely different than Miles'.

Exactly. It was a mistake for Saban, it would be a mistake for Miles. I didn't cry when Saban left and I won't cry if Miles feels so inclined.
