re: Miles unethical negotiation at LSU

tell me what you know Turdman!?!?!?!! He was/is a POS

If he did not have the Kansas job why the hell would he be negotiating? There is nothing unethical.

"2) If LSU didn't "need" to pay him, why are you mad at Les? Did he put a gun to Alleva's head? "

There is no need to put a gun to Alleva's head

Hogwash

As I understand it, A deferred asset is essentially a prepaid expense (something you have paid for and not received). I don't see how that's relevant to this case. How would it apply here?

No a prepaid expense, like a prepaid insurance policy is an asset, but it would be more rightly viewed as a prepaid asset. A deferred asset would be the something like a Corporation with a NOL Carryforward (NOL). It can carry that NOL to future years to offset future taxable Income. The company would record a Deferred Tax Asset for the future economic benefit related to the NOL. For example, you have an NOL of $1 million you would multiply it times the Corporate Tax Rate of 21% and record a Deferred tax asset of $210,000 as an asset on the balance sheet.

Or he could not seek employment at all and continue collecting checks for nothing?

No one is screened by this. He’s still doing LSU awesome by taking a job. Can’t fault him for collecting his last paycheck before though.

lostinbr- I'm impressed=Now show me some reasonably informed probabilities on each of these alternatives and we can compute an expected value on the amount to settle ! Forget these idiots !

I'm sorry to intrude but I came by to read what y'all were saying/thinking about the Miles to KU situation and this thread caught my eye.

This OP is the dumbest thing ever.

I'm not going to get into the "Did LSU do Les Miles dirty?" thing because, not my circus, not my monkeys. But I think any human being that has been fired from a job they loved, much less have built their whole lives and identity around would agree that it would be natural to feel hurt and anger and maybe even hold a grudge. Even if your performance had gone south, bring fire doesn't feel good and I can't imagine the feeling of being fired AND that being a breaking news story and every person you know and even people you don't know are all up in your business like that.

All that rambling to say, I wouldn't have blames Les for being all "Screw LSU! I'll take this KU job for $1,000 a year and make them pay up every damn cent, those bastards!"

But, he didn't. Yes, there are probably long term legal and short term negotiating benefits to this settlement deal, so it's not just Les being a saint. But many people let spite and revenge rule their decisions even when taking the high road would benefit them.

shite, I know I would probably be petty as hell and make a university pay me every damn dime if I were in Les's situation.

Les Miles represented LSU in fine fashion when he walked your sidelines and has continued to be classy about this whole deal. I'm sure he has a ton of juicy stories from his years there but he's been nothing but gracious as far as I've read.

Anyway, again, sorry for a Bama fan chiming in but I just had to say any LSU fan that is ranting about this deal is either dumb or a miserable a-hole or just a Miles hater letting emotions override logic.

Y'all have a nice weekend!
