Who has the authority to green light a $20mm buyout and a new contract for a HC? Aleva and Alexander have already said Miles is their guy, they can't go back now without serious cause.


Won't be that much next year. If Miles comes in 4th in the SEC West again and LSU does another nose dive in November and goes 8-4 or maybe even 9-3 "especially if those 3 losses are to Bama, Ole Piss & Arky" again yeah he will be in deep shite. This is a business plain and simple and when you have the highest paid staff in College football and a head coach that is on of the top 10 highest paid coaches in College football finishing 4th in the SEC west 3 years in a row will not cut it. If they had the funds raised to buyout Miles this year, if he finishes 4th in the west again next year he will be bought out. No way he survives another 4th in the west again next year.

Now personally if we have just a little bit of improvement out of Harris next year I think we win 11 games maybe more. So I think Miles is here for at least another 2yrs and probably longer which is what I am hoping for.. But if LSU finishes 4th in the west again, he is done and maybe even 3rd in the west gets he bought out.

After 2016 season it is $12.9million for just Miles

Miles plus the rest of the Asst Coaches would be >$15million

Aleva and Alexander don't have that much political capital unless the program falls apart and firing Miles is an obvious fait accompli

well he could be Franklin, Sumlin, or Strong....

Les is 9th in salary btw... He may be lower next year depending on what Miami is paying Richt, or any other coach getting a raise.

depends... Does a team go undefeated with a team only losing 1 game and LSU and another losing 2? That is a blanket statement without knowing how the division plays out.
