re: Guilbeau: Miles deserves to coach in 2016 and Alleva is a snake

All of the assistants started 2015 on two year contracts. Those contracts expire at the end of the 2016 season
If LSU were to fire Miles after this season, they would owe him about $2m a year for eight years. Pretty manageable. The problem is that they would still have to pay this current staff about $6m and then also pay a new staff next year. Not as manageable
This was why Chavis' insistence on a three year extension was so problematic. Alleva and the powers that be gave Miles a two year window to get things fixed and they were not going to pay Chavis not to be here in 2017. If Alleva didn't show up for a meeting with Miles and Chavis it was because he had already told Miles what the deal was.
Actually a pretty interesting strategy by Alleva, but it does almost guarantee Les one more year to right the ship (which I think he deserves)
