You know, all the talk may be 100% spot on about Miles. He may be gone. But to me, it looks like message board and Finebaum fodder that's done swolt into one of those things that if enough people say it.....
I'm always curious as to how people know these things. If there are actually negotiations going on for a buyout, I imagine that's being done between him, his agent and some people in really high places at LSU. I would also imagine those people are not going to be leaking information of that nature to the Paul Finebaum's of the world.
Like I said, he may be gone. Who knows? But $17 million????? That would make our PTB look like good stewards of the University's $$$$$. Well, maybe that's a stretch. But buying a coach like Miles out for that kind of cash? They done loss day damn minds if they do it. The problem with Miles and his program is simple. He's too damn stubborn to open it up and get away from the ground and pound. He admitted as much in his presser after the OM game. Part of that money would be far better spent hiring a proven OC that knows how to light up the scoreboard and develop a QB. Miles has long since proven he can get the talent in there. They need to tell Miles to run the program but turn the O over to someone that can take it in a different direction.
