re: Les Miles' Contract

No one in a bcs conference would hire miles after lsu

zook got a job in a bcs conference. schools like souther miss, wyoming, houston, tulsa all pay their coaches around $1 million per year. even IF miles contract went throug 2014, the amount paid of the buyout wouldn't be close to what it say's on paper.

good, then LSU wouldn't have to pay him shite . to be honest, i live in oklahoma and most people don't look at les the way LSU fans and the national media do. people here think he's a good coach, just not a great one. i don't think he would be without a job for very long. houston nutt is another example.

maybe i'm being harsh, but he's one of the top 5 highest paid coaches in college football. should he go 8-4 that would be 3 years in a row that hes lost an average of 4 game per year.

I'm reading the contract now. You still haven't quoted me the section, page and specific language in the contract to backup your claim. I rest my case with you SouthernMan, you fool.

The March 12, 2008 extension, in Article 3, specifically states:

In exercising the discretion granted in the employment agreement and amendments as to whether to grant a one-year term extension, the Chancellor will be guided by the following:

A. Winning eight or more games in a season presumptively will be the basis for a one-year term extension.

B. A decision by the Chancellor not to grant a one-year term extension for any reason must be concurred in by the President of the LSD System.

Miles did in fact win 8 games in 2008 and 2009 therefore the contract automatically extends one year.

If the Chancellor chose not to grant the extension (<8 games won or he was swayed by reading the rant or whatever) he would have to gain the approval of the President of the LSU System which would be public record.

The very fact that the buyout was increased to 18.75M in the April 24th Board meeting proves that the increase was needed to satisfy the TERMS of the contract.

Given that information and absent any amendments to the contrary, which again would be public record, the contract expires 12/31/2014 and it would cost LSU up to $15M to fire him after this season.

Enjoy the hat, he AINT going ANYWHERE!

The "presumptive" wording in the contract means that barring other issues the contract would be rolled over with 8 wins

---

This is incorrect the "presumptive" wording is that 8 wins would be the basis for an extension, not that it would "automatically, without a doubt guarantee an extension and there's nothing anything or anyone can do about it." The Chancellor and the President could both decide not to grant an extension even if we were 14-0. All they have to do is concurr. There is no guarantee for an extension. the Chancellor and the President has complete contral and power over whether an extension is granted in any case.

Bottom line is that the contract is set to end at the end of 2012 unless someone is able to show documentation that definitively shows/states the contract length has been extended/renewed.

I think 2013 would've been our year!

Did we ever come to a conclusion about his buyout? 15 mil???
