The lesson learned is stubbornness gets you nowhere especially after the way he was warned at end of 2015 season.
How difficult was it for Miles to hire a coordinator and why the hell was Cameron retained.

I'm sure he'll be wiping away his tears with a large pile of money.

I don't think it's his stubbornness as much as it is his age. I still think he'll wind up coaching again, though. He'll be the right fit for somebody.

The man can recruit and assemble a decent staff. Not to mention, worse case for him is to get paid millions for not having a job. I think he will be fine.

Well, if you look at Mack Brown and Phillip Fulmer, they were in similar situations and they never coached again. I don't know why things would be any different for Miles.

It's time to ride off into the sunset on his pile of cash and enjoy life. I'm sure he can find plenty ways to still earn a little money along the way.

The back half of LSU's season was devastating for Miles. A TE coach who hadn't called plays in nearly 20 years comes in and smashes the record books almost every game. If I'm looking to interview Les that's my first question: explain this.

If Les had let his coaches coach he could have stayed here forever

Fact: Leslie called plays from time to time and over ruled several times. He contolled the plays that were allowable. This also happened to the Wizard and he even said as much after exiting the program. Leslie has no one to blame but himself.

An unexpectedly small amount of jobs have come open. He has no shot at a job like Oregon. Wasn't interested in Purdue. It was either Baylor or Houston.

Old with a lot of money and a lot of expectations about what kind of pay/job he should get. Sort of a Mack Brown situation.

Amazes me that Miles didn't realize he only had to fix three things to turn it all back around to being highly successful at LSU.

1) Hire great progressive OC/QB whisperer.
2) Don't meddle in the offense.
3) Learn clock management 101.

Do you know for sure whether he's really looking to coach anywhere this coming season? I know he has to go through the formalities of searching under his contract with LSU, but that involves just that, formalities.

I feel like CLM felt he was King of LSU football, and thus was above reproach. Now that he's been forced to abdicate the throne, he's on the outside looking in. THAT'S what happens when you refuse to listen to your royal subjects, and change with the times.

And yet people thought Mich or Arky or some other phantom school would snatch him up

Hell, we replaced him with a DLine coach, and got the same result, if not better

He's rich and he got himself a crystal football. Not sure why anyone would feel sorry for him

Les will get paid $133,000 per month for the next 6 years for sitting on his couch or fishing or golfing. Very sorry he has to suffer like that
