re: Can some legal lawyer look at the buyout clauses

if Miles were terminated without cause, the balance of his contract is paid out over the remaining months in his contract X 2. In other words, if he has three years remaining, the length of time LSU has to pay him is doubled to six years.

During that time, he has to be actively seeking to secure a new position and must report that activity to the university. He wouldn't be able to bullshite and not seek a new job or the contract terms would be null and void.

Also, once he secures a new position, if it were, say, at a rate of pay less than what LSU pays him, LSU would still continue to pay Miles the difference between the two contracts. However, if it is for more than LSU pays him, he would have to pay back a portion of what LSU has paid him.

All-in-all, neither Miles nor LSU would be hurt too bad, although, for the life of me, I can never see Les Miles coaching a credible big-time major college program again at this rate of pay, thus his ability to gain credible employment may impact his income down the road.

exactly.
