Hey that is great for him, Les Miles is the 4th highest paid college coach. But what all the posi-tigers have to understand is this is business. When you are paid the 4th highest pay in your industry you need to perform to that standard also. Meaning a 10-3 record, finishing 14th in the polls and losing in the bowl game WILL NOT SUFFICE.

I don't care about the 90's that period is over and no coach for LSU during that period was ever paid the 4th highest salary in college football. You want to make the big bucks, you need to perform like you get paid. Top 5 recruiting classes, Top 5 finishes in the polls and winning championships is what is expected of you because how much we pay you, And anyone that doesn't understand this needs to go back to LSU and take a few business courses. You get a mulligan every 4 to 5 years because things happen, this year is your mulligan Les. Next year you don't you mulligan is used up. You are a professional, perform like you get paid and if you don't have the talent to do it yourself then get the right people beside you, like a new OC.

What all the people like you need to understand is that he finished 2nd in the country in 2011. Is that acceptable enough to be the 4th highest paid coach?

Do you think that his salary should flucuate every single season based on the performance in the previous season? Or do you just want to say he isn't doing his job when we only win 10 games.

and with the business of college football, you don't take 1 slightly disappointing season to judge the entirety of a coach's body of work. alabama went 10-3 the year after saban's national title in 2009. would you say the same thing about him? my guess would be no
