Don't think they have much influence with Miles. He likes to be the MAN. TAF and former players sent a record number of recommendations for a recent coach that was being interviewed. Did not good. He hired his friend.

Maybe they didn't because they agreed with him on this one?
EXACTLY. It wasn't just a matter of paying more, which was probably not a great anyway. Chavis wanted some guarantees and stuff in his contract that I doubt any other assistance coach in the country has.
It was not handled well by Chavis and his agent.
He knew he had the A&M job if he wanted it, so I guess he decided to go for broke against Joe. Joe called his bluff.

As an organization TAF is there to raise the money the AD cannot raise through ticket sales etc. so when we build an $5mm gymnastics faciltity or the nutrietion center TAF gets its donors to contribute and borrows the money and repays it with proceeds from the suites and stadium club which TAF leases for$1 from LSu for 100 years (literally).
Sorry, got long winded but needed that as background. As an organization TAf simply supports what the AD needs. Individual donors (large ones) may influence or be asked to support specific projects or contracts but in the case of Chavis I would be very surprised of it ever came to someone wanting or not wanting to pay him as making any difference.
Finally, do not underestimate the importance of the relationship between Les and Joe and who has the power. They are not close.
