As an act of good faith. If someone throws a crapton of money at him and he denies because of his loyalty to the program, you return it by giving him a little more if you can afford it. if not, when the next offer comes, he may say to himself "well if my loyalty is appreciated...."

People used to call Terry Bradshaw dumb & he always responded by saying "count my rings, amount of money in my checking account & my longetivy". If CLM is dumb, just how much money do you arse holes make?

this is fcktarded.
If college was chosen purely on the school and the potential to win.. EVERY TOP RECRUIT EVER would go to USC.. Los Angeles.. Pac 12..

I hate the hippies but L.A. >>>>> LA

back on topic - I don't have a problem with him getting a raise.. Lots of people get raises at their jobs every year for just showing up.. He's done a great job. Substantial raises should be reserved for substantial accomplishments though. SEC championship.. National Championship...

Chance for another 11-win season is great, but I don't see this as "raise worthy".

you're on here calling Miles an idiot. are you one of the great fans you're referring too? or are they the ones who empty the stadium by the third quarter?

yeah, god, why would he ever leave all this.

by the way, we've had 1 top 5 recruiting class in the past 5 years and Tiger Stadium is antiquated as hell.

This! Plus, look at the new TV contracts, stadium expansion, hell, even raising the parking cost. There is a bigger pot of money to go around and you start by giving some to the head football coach.
For all the people crying on here about the pay raise, stop wasting your time bitching and go look up the salaries from the 90's for;
Bobby Bowden
Steve Spurrier
Phil Fulmer
Lou Houltz
and any others that repeatedly finish the season in the top 10-15. It's called inflation and all coaches salaries in the major conferences will continue to go up as long as you are winning and the money continues to pour in as it is now.

it was a clear negotiating ploy. frick him. he shouldnt get a raise because of that.

let him go to ARK, it would be an easy win every year for LSU.

Miles gets as much from LSU as we get from, IF NOT MORE. And im not just speaking about money.

So....you're saying Ark did NOT give him an offer?

Once that offer was official, it showed his market value went up. regardless of your feelings, I feel like you are smart enough to know the ramifications if LSU doesn't offer him more money.

The rest of your statement is a nonsensical, that's why I didn't quote it.

If i'm an LSU rival, I just throw out a ridiculous contract "offer" to Miles every year just to force LSU into giving Miles unwarranted raises every offseason.

I am saying there is no way he could even be interested. I have no doubt in my mind that he would not entertain going to ARK, yet it became public and has dragged on for 2 days no without him saying anything.

so yes. it was strictly a negotiating ploy.

on what grounds? that simple fact ARK offered him more money?

no.

There were contract talks all year. He's not getting a new contract because of Arky. You're dumb if you really believe that.

There are only a handful of coaches that can compare to Miles' success. He deserves every penny he gets.
