Guy must be the stupidest excuse for a coach LSU has ever had according to some.
If you truly believe that's what those who have voiced displeasure or concern about Miles on this forum believe then you are way off base.
I believe most of those who have voiced displeasure or concern about Miles on this forum couldn't coach their way to a peewee championship much less do what Miles has done which is to have more acheivement than any other coach in LSU history and be one of the top 5 coaches in the game since 2005 in wins.
But you guys are good for a hearty

--------------------------------------------------" ... he was never going to leave. arky made an offer...Les said no thanks. his raise and extension were in the works prior to the arky offer. what's the problem? ...
------------------------------------------------
While at LSU in 1961 I remember gathering around the dorm TV to watch Coach Dietzel proclaim "I will never leave LSU". Everyone cheered. Week or two later he had taken the head coaching job at Army.
(But seems like at that time there was a lot of speculation about a certain Dentist's wife having a lot to do with Dietzel's quick departure from Baton Rouge)

I just feel if you have a contract you should honor it i dont care how long he has been here.
When has Miles not honored an LSU contract?
Are you thinking of Saban with his Miami contract or 15 other coaches each and every season who walk away from one team to another team for a better deal?
Its called taking care of business in the real world.

Game never should've been close. Embarrassing loss. Sometimes even great coaches have shitty games. Carroll had one of his in an NC too.
You have to be kidding? One of the greatest championship games in any sport at any level that ended on a last second TD and you call that an "embarrassment" and compare it to the other coaches in that list who actually DID have embarrassing losses?
I can't stand ole "toothy grin" Carroll who is a complete douche, but you're acting like an undefeated Texas was a scrub. VY was pissed off that Bush won the Heisman over him and he came to show why they screwed up. One of, if not the most dominant performances by a player in NC history.

Well, I think most will agree that last year was a bit freaky in that you had two obviously superior teams in LSU and Bama, and no one else was close. If Bama and LSU were 1a and 1b, then Ok. State would be D. There were no B and C.
You sound like a Bama fan. I had a good convo with you the other day so I won't wish death upon you.
But let's look at FACTS:
OSU:
Won a CC
Beat more ranked teams
Beat more teams with a winning record (unbiased stat)
Had a stronger SOS than even LSU
Banana:
Had a "good loss"
You were saying?

The rest of what he said is true though.

Nice rebuttal Roger!
"sound like a Bama fan" in that you are using opinion to say Bama was better.
The idea that they should get a do-over/second chance/rematch before a CC with the other factors I brought up does exactly what others in here have said; it rendered the regular season meaningless.
You can't have it both ways. Either "every game counts" as the BcS tells us or only 1 game matters.
1-1 or 0-2. That was the scenario with putting Bama in. We already saw the game once. OSU deserved to go based on EVERYTHING we have seen from the BcS through the years.
All day long team SEC would argue SOS, ranked teams, CC's, etc. Why does that suddenly disappear and a "good loss" take precedence?

No one is stupid enough to claim Okie State was better than Bama. No one.

LSU won the SEC, and that is never meaningless..

The NCG is a one game "playoff".. period.

That's the system we have until we get a playoff.

Bama was better than Ok. State and everyone who knows anything about football and most who don't, understood that.
The system wasn't set up to prevent a rematch, so you ended up with the two best teams playing again. You don't have to be a "bama fan" to realize Bama and LSU were in a league of their own, no one else was even close.

I did mean to use the words "deserved to go" more than to imply Okie was better than Bama. I did think Bama was probably better than Okie before the NC as well. I did NOT think Bama deserved a second chance before Okie got a first one.
But everything else you're posting is all opinion BS. We have seen times where a better team might have been left out. Politics favor the SEC. Okie St had more right to claim the #2 spot. That's not opinion. That's based off them winning their conference, SOS, ranked teams beat, etc.
If this was reversed, you damn well know Bama still would have gone over Okie and their "good loss".

Everyone's opinion on the subject is BS because the FBS doesn't recognize a champion. You can claim whatever you wish.
Two best teams played independent of the season, and it was fair because there are no rules to prevent. Just the way it is and you just have to accept it.
Claim the championship. The NCAA doesn't recognize one

Now you're just deflecting. Like I said, "sounds like a Bama fan" (note, that doesn't mean I think you ARE a Bama fan).
You cannot deny CC, SOS, ranked teams, winning records. You just can't. Bama had NONE of those.

As to the video, I liked that Dan grilled him a little.

Very little.
And to grill a guy who has been at a school 8 yrs cause he listens to a friend bout an opening the friend had is bout as silly as it gets.
I think it's important/classy that both the coach and school honor their 1st contract, but after that it shouldn't be such a big deal to anyone including Dan.
We all know cause of impact on recruiting a coach and a school has to have at lease a 2-3 contract they can show to recruits/parents.
Dan needs to wake up and smell the coffee as to how things work it todays world of SEC football.

This is how the business world works. Not sure why some here don't understand it.
It doesn't matter if you make $50k, or $4 million. A 25% raise is a 25% raise.
A 25% raise to coach at Arkansas is not the raise you think it is. Most likely harder and more stressful work. Most likely shorter term.
