If LSU is sitting at 3-3 at the halfway point and the offense still looks putrid, LSU has no choice but to fire Les


Doubt it. His buyout will be millions less after December 31. My guess is they wait until January 1 to officially fire Les. They would, I would hope, already have the successor lined up long before that (but we've seen that movie before).

You realize they are paying his salary in the meantime too, so they aren't spending that much more.

Also, the sooner they fire Les, the sooner the Miles' clause kicks in for his assistants. Hell, it will save you $200 k on Cameron's buyout if you fire Les two months before the season ends and $300k if you fire him 3 months before the season ends. That's just Cameron too.
