re: miles can be fired with "CAUSE"

Revenue alone is a meaningless number. Go find the "expenses" chart, net it against the "revenue" chart, and get back to us.

Who are those candidates. And be realistic. You are Alleva where you just fired a coach for winning 8-9 games in the SEC, three years after winning a BCS Nation Championship. Who are the REALISTIC candidates, and no Harbaugh isn't realistic.
The realistic candidates, given the scenario you accurately portray (your predecessor got canned after having the highest winning percentage over a 6 year period of any coach in LSU history with that long a tenure, including a national championship 3 years before)are either young guns who see LSU as a very attractive stepping stone (e.g., Peterson at Boise State) or retreads (e.g., Spurrier). The best thing LSU has going for it in searching for its next Head Coach, whenever that may happen, is that he isn't going to be following St. Nick. Saban's replacement was always destined to be disliked by the fans. No doubt Les made it harder than it otherwise would have been when he won in 2007, but eventually his "not Sabanness" was destined to catch up with him. He should have seen that coming in. It won't be a problem the next guy will have.
Since it is obvious to every ranter alive that it doesn't matter who the head coach is as long as he stays out of the way, I think this is a great idea.

The media of the 21st century is the natural heir of the witch burners of the 16th and the lynch mobs of the 19th.

Butch Davis? How would fans respond to that hire?
So you're Joe Alleva. You're doing your damndest to outlive the shadow of your role in the Duke lacrosse fiasco. How likely is it that you're going to hire an ACC coach who presided over (not saying he cause it, but the buck stops there) the biggest NCAA violation scandal of the year? Never, ever, ever going to happen. And that's wholly apart from the fact that if you look at the list of the best and likeliest candidates, Davis is on page 2.

You may have to fulfill your end of the contract, but it doesn't prohibit Miles from being fired.
But not because of the "fire at will statute". Once the contract is in play, the statute isn't.

Aside from the last 30 seconds of the game
I saw a lot of positive things come out of the game.
How positive is 59 minutes and 40 seconds between touchdowns?

That is what Simms said after the game.
Remember Leinart's quote after getting beat by Texas in the BCSNCG? "We were the better team." Pretty much opened a window into his impossibly out of control ego. With Phil Simms for a father, and Chris Simms for a brother, is there any doubt this kid is seriously out of touch with reality?

For Those Wanting Crowton Fired Would You Take Mark Richt As OC?
Absolutely not! It's Tom Moore or nobody!

Unlike the original poster, who is merely in serious need of legal counsel, you should never, ever leave the house without a lawyer.

I'd ask him if he knows the difference between a principle and a principal.
Clearly the head coach's fault.

If Crowton had been fired after last season....
...and say, Leach was hired as our OC....what do you think our chances would be of a SECC or even NC this year?
Since they wouldn't be as good as if Tom Moore had been hired as his replacement, there would be a significant portion of the fanbase bitching about not hiring Moore.

I recall many moons ago when Bear Bryant made the remark that he could probably coach some of Charlie McClendon's teams via radio from on of the offshore oil rigs and still win the national title.
Urban myths that need to be shattered before the LSU fan base can have a realistic appreciation of what it takes to coach a winning football program here:
1. Louisiana, produces raw football talent that is significantly superior to that of most or all other states.
2. The LSU fanbase is the most passionate, vocal, knowledgeable, supportive fanbase in the country.
3. Tiger Stadium is downright intimidating to any opponent who plays in it.
4. The Golden Band from Tigerland is the best, or even one of the 10 best, college bands in the country.
5. The LSU student section is the most effective "12th man" in college football.
6. Given Nos. 1-5, above, any fool should be able to produce a consistent top 5 football team.

Sometimes I think it would be much easier to list the QBs at LSU who weren't booed at some point in their career.
The 2 most popular men in Louisiana history: Huey P. Long and whoever the current backup quarterback is at LSU.

The right to boo
Adolescents and liberal Democrats have a very difficult time understanding the difference between things they have a right to do and the right things to do.

Booing Tiger players is not something that came in vogue in '08 and since. It was happening long before then.
People being total assholes is also not new. Been going on pretty much since humans came down out of the trees. Doesn't make it right.

Halftime: LSU Golden Band from Tigerland performs
Please tell me they have run out of Led Zeppelin songs to play! :rolleyes:
Better they should stay in the stands, eat their lunch, and be prepared to get involved at the start of the 3rd quarter, rather than 9 minutes in.

Excuse me if I think a Div I quarterback should be able to pick up 8 yards a good 40% of the time... at least. A good one will do much better.
If you ever needed an example of the delusionally unrealistic expectations of the "average" LSU fan, there it is.
