re: AP: Les Miles has a new contract w/ LSU that includes both a raise and extension

No respect for an arse that treats a kid with character - ie - Jared Lee - in the manner he was treated.

You could at least try to spell his name right.

It's Jarrett Lee.

Also, you think that the head coach at LSU should put a player in a game because he has character, regardless of his actual playing ability? We had two C+ QB's last year. One that was terrible as a decision maker, and one that wet his pants every time he played Alabama.

You represent a vocal minority of people who, thankfully, have no say in the big boy business of LSU football. You can't name more than 5-6 teams in the entire country that have had this level of stability for 8 years; LSU made a smart business move by locking him up. They know that whatever buyout is in the contract, they can pay. So, you are either locking up 10+ wins per year over the next 7 years (which would put Les at over 150 wins as an SEC coach), or you are getting a few more good years, a decline that everyone's been predicting for 8 years but hasn't happened, and then you can find a new coach.

Anyone who doesn't see how this actually benefits LSU is a moron.
