Haven't seen any updates but it's raining pretty hard where I'm at...about 8 miles from campus.

re: Les should STAY but raise??? Hell NO

No doubt, 10-2 is good...above average which matched his pay...above average. But to get a raise when none of the team goals were met and we are sitiing at home during SEC and BSC Championship games is not earned or deserved.
Everybody is just looking at the salary, Remeber that his contract, one that he agreed to, is flooded with incentives to get him Saban-like compensation. Bottom line is 10-2 is respectable, but Les' overall compensation is low comapred to Saban because he didn't reach his goals. And in the end, he still gets rewarded. Wish I had a job like that...miss your goals and come out on top.

Doesn't really matter what any of us think. The truth is ESPN interpreted it as nothing but postive and every parent and recruit will now see it that way. Just to be clear, I'm not the biggest Les fan, but to say that his rant reflected poorly on anybody in any way is an absolute misread on your part.
OK, fair enough. I wasn't trying to defend him for reinstatement. Just trying to get clarity on what seemed as a double standard. Personally, I hope they all go once they've had a run-in with the law. We are very close to having enough excons to remake the Longest Yard as a purple vs. gold game. For once, I would just like to see LSU on TV or in the national news because we are a dominant football team. Not because of arrest, how poor our offense is or how big the golden horseshoe is that's up Miles' arse to continue to win ugly.
Not to mention there is no conviction, just pending charges. The same status JJ had (and still has) from Shady's.
I was unaware of any incident in NOLA. And yes, I get the history. My point is why does everybody insinuate that this was the final nail? For the record, I never thought he was coming back on the team. But my point is the insinuation is that "this" incident was the final nail. I'm just saying Miles set a precedent last year. Why is JJ's case different? Afterall, his charges originally started as a felony. TM7 has never been charged with a felony. T-Bob and the list goes on of players with misdemeanors. Just saying.
All he's charged with right now is a misdemeanor. As a matter of precedent, didn't Miles establish that it's ok to be on the team with pending misdemeanor charges since he reinstated JJ last year as soon as the charges were dropped from felony assault to simple battery (which is a misdemeanor)? Just unclear why everybody is now saying this was the final nail in TM7's coffin when clearly there has already been a precedent set?
