King and JBE killed the Jimbo hire (which ultimately seems to have worked out well for us) because the state was in a budget crisis. The athletic department is self funded and totally separate from the university's funds.

That and his holistic admissions policies pissed a lot of alumni off. He also trashed the state and university every chance he got. Good riddance.

You're only half right here. Miles was given a second chance because he campaigned for Jindal. Alexander, a Jindal appointee, was asked by Jindal to give Miles another chance.

Think of it as one last "frick you!" from Bobby Jindal.

LSU coach Les Miles, Saints coach Sean Payton to be part of Bobby Jindal's first major presidential campaign events in Baton Rouge
