Les Miles fired
- Thread starter KerryRhodes
- Start date
You already know the two names the media will mention...Bob Petrino and Tom Herman...LSU has a $13 Million payout and in order to even get Petrino another $10 Million plus they would have to pay him likely another $5Million for 5 years...$25 Million before you get into paying assistants...my guess it Herman...

Someone on the other board pointed out LSU may have made the move now so they can secure Tom Herman before Texas gets him.
My biggest fear is LSU ponies up to pay Coach Stoops buyout and throws big money his way to bring him to Baton Rouge next year after watching his domination of the Cocks yesterday. Time for Mitch to offer coach another extension.
I can't see Petrino being interested. He has the #3 team in the country, the best player in the country, and no Nick Saban to look at every year.
From his Arkansas stint, Petrino knows better than most how much that last part sucks.

I would say you are wrong there. In 15 years as a head coach coming into this year, Miles was 140-53 for a winning percentage of 0.72539 with two teams that played for the national championship and one of which won it.. By way of comparison, petrino in 11 years is 100-39 for a 0.71942 winning percentage and no national championship games. If Miles sucks as a coach, so do a lot of other guys that are behind him.
He and Herman according to Thamel are the only ones the LSU ppl are interested in...
Stranger things have happened I guess but, I'd be surprised if Fischer left FSU for LSU. Clearly the path to a NC is more navigable in Tallahassee - not to mention the fact that the expectations are less insane. My guess is his agent already has an agreement in principle for a big raise from the Seminoles.
Yeah you are right because few coaches have ever done as little with so much talent as Miles. Your tiny micro-stats are really quite hilarious. BP with those same dudes would be Governor of Louisiana by now.
Miles doesn't suck, his body of work is good. But he did underachieve quite a bit towards the end of his tenure. The milk went sour, and that happens pretty much everywhere.
The built in advantage of coaching LSU is immeasurable. There is no other school in the talent rich state of LA to recruit against. LSU is the only show in town. So with that, comes high expectations. The job is not for everybody.

According to LSU fans,
Les was told to fire Cameron and he refused.
Props and respect to Les Miles.

When I heard the news he was let go, my first thought was that was probably the scenario. Whether it is true or not we will probably never know.
I do not believe anybody disrespected your beloved SEC here, I am just stating the obvious which somehow eludes your brain. Ask any knowledgeable football guy who he would choose to coach his prominent football program on equal terms and Bobby Petrino will be the answer 10 out of 10 if Miles and him are the choice.
If you are dumb enough to not see (which is kind of obvious) the job that Petrino and his coaching staff have done here with a different set of circumstances then you are ... Well , who you are.
Suck or not the fans at LSU have little use for him. The style of play record good or bad. That is what you get with LSU. 8-4, 10-2 doesnt get it done. Plus SI has already stated Tom Herman and Jimbo are the lead candidates. They ruled out Petrino due to baggage, the 7 year extension, along with the 25 million dollar buy out. And that's prior to negotiating salaries (Head coach and assistants). Are you sure your on the right site?
Running down our coach - uncalled for.
If True I agree. I hate when coaches scape goat their assistants.
Stats are fine but do not paint the whole picture. Miles inherited a ton of talent from Saban whereas CBP did not at Arkansas. It was a turnaround situation. It was was so bad had his lone loss to UK while there.
IMO Miles has too much Bo Schembechler in his DNA when it comes to offense in the modern age. I say that as Bo's smiling face looks down on my keyboard. It served him well for a long time but his inability to adjust on offense along with poor clock management caught up with him. Also add in the possibility of a refusal to fire Cam Cameron.
Les Miles is a fine FB coach and far from the buffoon the media like to portray. And while his sleazy past is problematic, CBP is a better coach than you like to portray.
CBP 2.0 has shown none of the issues of the original version. Time will tell.
I suspect Ed Orgeron will get to finish the season at LSU. I can't see anybody making a decision at this point in the season.
He disappeared a few weeks back for me. It's easy. The ignore feature is your friend instead of dealing with an obvious flame baiting hater. I never see his useless drivel unless someone quotes him.
That is not entirely correct, Boone. Houston Nutt's last two teams were 10-4 and 8-5. He walked away because Long would not support him against boosters who wanted to dictate personnel and style.
Seriously? You mean the LSU AD who hired Miles in 2005 rather than petrino? And Jurich who has never had a prayer of hiring him?
Print up some extra Waffle House menus because Steve Kragthorpe is available.
