Supah,

Please remember the buyout of 1.25 equates to 2 million. It's genius. Michigan couldn't pay LSU the buyout fee directly.

Since it is written that Les would have to pay LSU personally, then his agent would ask for an extra $2,000,000 from Michigan. Why? Because whatever Big Blue would compensate LES is a taxable event.

He would need to get $2 million to cover the taxes and the buyout fee PLUS his annual salary. We aren't even talking about the state taxes. Do you really think they would pay Les $2 million PLUS whatever the negotiated first year salary was. We are talking about $5 million. Not likely.

Saban still has a house in Baton Rouge?
I get that there are deep pockets at Michigan. A fellow Wolverine said that Big Blue generates x millions with athletics and surpasses LSU by at least 10 million.

With that said, why was Coach Carr paid so little compared to the coaches in the SEC and not all of them have won a National Championship like Carr and none of them come close to the revenue Big Blue generates?

You posted some of the smartest stuff I have seen in a while.

H-streit needs to man up. He won't give up his source (tigerdroppings.com coaching change board) of course

Les Miles says "I'm at home"

Posted by waverly911 on 12/1/07 at 7:54 pm
Plain and simple. Said he asked his mentor Bo about the LSU job and Bo said that's a great place. Cholly Mac loves that place, loved that place. Les said "I'm at home now."

Cue the music LINK
How could he leave this?

Miles is super media savvy. He didn't reference Michigan because maybe one day he does go there.

Les Miles doesn't have time to get into details at a press conference. He basically called it to say get the F off my back. When he said have a nice day, he was telling those that started the rumor to go F themselves.

Let'er RIP.
Of course H-Street checks it out. Who doesn't?!

ESPN Herbstreit's source disclosed

Posted by waverly911 on 12/1/07 at 12:58 pm
CBS is rubbing it in Kirk Herbstreit's face about him "breaking the news" that Les Miles was leaving.

CBS also disclosed that Herbstrit's source was tigerdroppings.com :lol:

Time to cue the music. Let's go LINK
What channel is this new conference going to be on?

If he is staying, then I say let's start playing the music now
LINK
I am lost. What are you guys talking about now?
Sure!

Why would he leave this LINK
How is Skip Cheap? Miles was compensated more than Lloyd Carr was this past season and Carr has won a national championship.

Aged Wolverine,

One thing you and many others don't realize about his buy out is that Les has to write the check himself. Michigan can't pay it for him.

Let's say that Michigan pays less the 1.25 million, well it is a taxable event and Les is in the hole. To be made WHOLE, Michigan would have to pay LES roughly $2,000,000 to cover the $1,250,000 plus the IRS taxes and we are not taking state taxes into account.

If there is so much money, why did they only pay Carr less than $1.3 million and this guy won a championship for ya?

I believe that he was not in contact with Michigan, but HIS AGENT WAS. The media should have asked if his agent was in touch with Michigan.

SKIP needs to tell Miles to get his check book out and write the check and we are not accepting it from MICHIGAN. That is not part of the deal.

Jeeze.

Michigan, thanks for waiting till after the game to speak with the hat.

I blame Miles for this too. Why not wait till after the game to talk to them? The job was not going to go away.

Who coaches LSU in the bowl game? What if we get everything to go our way and LSU goes to the BCS game? Who coaches LSU then?
We have not been able to hold onto a good coach since the days of Cholly Mac. And look how long has that been.

For now I will have to console myself with a video

Was this the last time we will see Les Miles leading the football team down the hill and in Tiger Stadium?
