Miles buy out spells even more trouble in the future
Posted on 12/6/15 at 6:41 am
Posted on 12/6/15 at 6:41 am
it is my understanding that miles' buy out is...
1-15 million over 8 yrs till January '16
2-12.9 million over 6 yrs till Jan. '17
3-12.9 million over 4 yrs till Jan. '18
4-last year of contract it's about 5 million over 1 yr; contract ends in 2019
it will actually cost more per year to fire him over the next four years than this past year even tho the total amount is less.
this means that we either bite the bullet and pay the buy out or we bite the bullet and let the contract run out or we extend his contract.
letting the contract run out will KILL RECRUITING as most quality recruits aren't going to sign to play for LSU if the coach is known to be leaving. if the higher ups aren't going to allow our boosters to buy him out then our only option, to save the program, IS TO EXTEND HIS CONTRACT.
Les Miles owns LSU. Alleva agreeing to this shite is madness. I read where Jimbo Fishers contract buyout was only 5 million (and that was with the great Sexton as agt).
i'll admit that I don't know what other coaches buy outs are but if they are like Fishers we got hosed by miles agt. we have les miles as our football coach until HE decides to step down.
what a dangerous situation; unless he continues to recruit at a high level he is in a position to ruin LSU'S football program whether we extend his contract or not.

You had a dream last night and woke up and typed this, this early in the morning?

Miles will be here until he retires in 2020.
Lsu should be Virginia Tech level then.

I predict this.
After this Miles-firing/hire-Fisher cluster frick ...
Once Miles starts his shite-show offense, mistakes, BDP frick-ups, Steele porous defenses, etc. ... next year--
There is going to be some terrible anger unleashed toward LSU football, Alleva, and Alexander in Red Stick City.

Am I wrong? Aren't the coaches buyout and university buyout two different things? A coach basically receives his contract but if he leaves for another job there is a buyout to the respective school.
Jimbo's buyout and the Miles buyout for example. Jimbo's contract expiration might be up soon too.

LSU got royally fricked on this deal
Posted on 12/6/15 at 7:27 am to LSU GrandDad
If they give him a raise or extend him I will really be done, that is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
Quality post though, I do agree miles has LSU bent over a barrel now more than ever, if only the meddling wouldn't have taken place we'd have Jimbo right now and all be excited about the future.

You plan on buying him out?
Posted on 12/6/15 at 7:30 am to LSU GrandDad
Just gotta hope the boosters will be willing to pay up next time they decide they want to fire mile. Everyone keeps telling me he's a great coach and will easily be able to find another job though...so can't we count on another program hiring him and offsetting the buyout?

Grandad, your analysis is all screwed up. First, Miles' buyout isn't as expensive as you list, because his salary at his new job gets subtracted. Second, your assumption that because the cost per year goes up, that we didn't fire him this year means we won't until his contract runs out, is just wrong.
Here is what is going to happen. Miles will either perform well enough next year to quiet the uprising, or he won't. If he does, he'll still have three years on his contract, so it won't be extended. More than likely we'll arrange a coach-in-waiting deal.
If he has a bad year he'll be replaced. As you point out, contractually this would necessitate a $12.9 mm buyout. Instead, there will be a negotiated buyout. In my opinion it will be about $7 or 8 million dollars. This is because you'd subtract about $1.5 million per year of Miles' new job salary.

There's a difference here. Jimbo would be resigning, not getting fired. If FSU fired Jimbo, they'd likely owe him the balance of his contract unless he's got some other type of language in it. That's basically what the $15 million figure Miles would have received is...the balance owed to him on his contract.
