Why some rich boosters hold onto a coach like GRIM DEATH.

When one donates big money to a football program ego is usually involved. The money translates to access to the program and relationships to the personnel and some folks with deep pockets wear that on their chest like a medal.

What is happening with some sycophantic boosters at LSU is very similar to what kept Mack Brown at Texas well past his spoilage date. Brown cultivated some of the richest and most powerful boosters in the state as friends. These folks were in love with the access they had to the coach and to the program and were more afraid of losing that were a new coach to come in than they were of losing games.

Miles is no different. He has cultivated relationships with rich and powerful folks in the state. That showed last year when he pulled his power play to keep his job. These folks egos are invested in Miles and they are afraid to lose their access and relationship to the program if he is replaced. You may not see or hear these folks but behind closed doors they protected Miles last year and are still trying to protect him now. For LSU's sake, Miles needs to be taken down before the program sinks as far as Texas' was allowed to sink. Last night was the first respect that program has earned in years.
