no its not

His buyout is the same'

If it is over why is he still talking to them?
From Skip's quote, it is very clear that UM is trying to get miles

I think they still are... and if Miles was willing to go, I don't think Skip would come out and say things like this.

Maybe I'm blind / dumb, but I'm really starting to doubt that Miles is going anywhere.

Not the best PR work Bertman has ever done.

Skip's continued UM bashing is not reflecting very well on his image. He sounds like a whiny baby about this whole thing.

And UM comes across like stalker with a creepy crush on a movie star. What next--will your dufus AD eat crawfish on his yacht as it sets sail towards Bayou LaFourche?

An idiot with 5 National Championships he won for LSU, and hired a Football coach who just won the SEC Championship & put us the this year's National Championship game.

Were you saying that during the midst of those 5 baseball NCs in 10 years? Or was it while he presided over the AD for a NC in football, 4 Final Four runs in women's BBall, 1 in Men's?

Bertman is going to regret these statements regardless if Les stays or not. I can gurantee Les is not happy at the way he is disrespecting Bo.

You don't go from being a genius on the diamond to an idiot as AD. The AD position is a thankless job, whether you want to admit it or not. You're not gonna please everybody.

And you can scoff at the Final Four runs all you want and say that he didn't hire Nick Saban. Bottom line is that this is the Golden Age of LSU sports, and it has happened on his watch. People like you are too spoiled by success to understand that.

Bertman needs to say less, not more.

He is not exactly making a great point when he says, "The pay here is going to be more than the highest paid guy in the Big Ten. Money isn't the answer. Les isn't even a money guy."

Then why make it one of your central points if Les is not staying because of money?

Stanley needs to start behaving like a lame duck AD and stay out of the press.
