I'm convinced they only reason he kept his job at LSU so long is so many people at LSU wanted to say "See you can still win at a high level without being a dick like Saban!"

Besides the blow-up with Fournette and the clock management at the end of the Auburn game, one of the biggest reasons he was fired was because Nick Saban had left him in the dust.

If Nick Saban wasn't in the same division of the same conference as LSU, Les Miles might have stayed even longer.
