LSU cannot allow Miles to leverage for more raises

NO, for the debacle last National Championship if no other reason. And now this embarassment.

Should have let him walk.

I agree.
Anybody that believes les miles deserved a raise is high on drugs.
Lots of drugs.

This question is more for people who thought it was a professional move and that he deserved more money

These are 2 different questions. I don't know of anyone that thinks coaches playing schools off of each other is professional, it is however part of the reality now, and ironically LSU had a lot to do with it when we gave Saban a contract with no buyout.

As for whether he "deserves" a raise or not, judging it based on a couple of games is not the way to look at it. Coaches are not paid on commission. There is a market price for successful coaches. Les had not gotten a raise is while. While I realize the grass looks a lot greener, especially after a disappointing loss and season, it is a lot harder than people realize to replace a guy that has had success like Miles. Sure there are better coaches, but that doesn't mean they want to leave where they are currently. There are also a lot worse guys out there.

My hope is that Les can make 1 more run at a NC with the 2013 and 2014 recruiting classes and then retire before things go stale, like it has for Mack Brown.
