re: LSU's Les Miles to be paid $4.3 million in 2013

"All this being said, if he can't get us over the top in the next 2-3 years, I want him gone."

Problem with this is, if he does not accomplish this he will still have 3 or 4 years left on the contract that will have to be paid (assuming the next 3 years he does not receive another extension), thanks to the most recent contract extension and raise. This is why I had a problem with the raise. It's not so much a problem with the money, but the years. If he proves to keep trending downward, LSU will have to hire a new coach and pay Les (who at this point would have grossly under achieved). I think Les will pull it all together in the next year or two, but if he does not, this site may need therapy.
