Those are the jobs that attract the top talent. LSU isn't on that list, never has been, never will be. They won a national championship? So did Clemson and Auburn and BYU. LSU isn't a top ten program nationally, although it's close because of Miles, and they should have their heads examined for letting him go. They won't be able to replace him with an head coach with a better resume than his. Jimbo Fisher? It's ridiculous to believe that he'd leave a top tier program where he's winning and getting paid for it so he could move to Baton Rouge and have to play Alabama every year. Tom Herman will be able to take his pick in the off season, because other good jobs (Southern Cal in particular) will open up. LSU should be looking at Larry Fedora, maybe Rich Rodriguez, someone like that with an also-ran school. Otherwise they're going to end up holding an empty bag and scouring the ranks of up and coming coordinators in the off season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-54496147997881247022016-09-29T08:44:38.878-05:002016-09-29T08:44:38.878-05:005:08 - 4:36 appears yall egotistical ass is a litt...5:08 - 4:36 appears yall egotistical ass is a little to full of yourself. Yes, Rick wrote about Tebow in June when there was little or no sports news in MS and Tebow was actually doing something newsworthy. (Kinda flies in the face of 1:15s snide remark more so than 2:56s, but who's counting). The news is the south this week was Miles, not Tebow home run in ---Instructional League!. <br /><br />Hell, more news is Hunter Renfroe's home runs in major league -and a MS connection.<br /><br />But that happened -as did Tebow -after Rocks column was in the can. <br /><br />I stand behind 2:56s comments - Rocks column on Miles much more important than Tebow, and the fact that he wrote about Tebow in th he drought of summer doesn't change that. But smile in the mirror with your self satisfacrion. Don't use too much of that penis-enlarging cream at the same time, though.

Your are right, the market is free and the fans are welcome to keep dumping their hard earned cash to purchase bragging rights. And, the coaches and administrators will keep getting richer while explaining how much of a family our institution has become. Then they will be unceremoniously dumped (along with a multi-million dollar payout) and quietly ease away.

Athletic departments have their own budgets, much of which come from ticket sales, broadcasting rights, branding contracts, etc. To build a bigger, better program that will attract more crowds and more TV and brand money, schools hire highly-skilled, thus highly-compensated coaches. The amount that most of these coaches are paid out of school budgets is usually equivalent to a highly-paid professor (if they are paid out of the school budget at all). Thus, few (if any) taxpayer dollars go to pay these coaches' salaries or severance payments. <br /><br />It's what the market will bear. It's not shameful, foolish or immoral. It's free market economics. <br /><br />Now, if you believe that free market economics are shameful and foolish, that will require another post entirely.<br /><br />Seek first to understand.

I will also say that I have always liked Les Miles. He is a good coach and was good for LSU's program for a long time. <br /><br />That being said, I liken this situation to the Mack Brown scenario leading up to his stepping down in 2013: sometimes it's just time for a coach to move on. Brown had clearly out-lived his effectiveness at UT, especially with the expectations that go with a top-tier program. I believe that Miles had reached that same point with LSU. It's unfortunate, but true. <br /><br />I thought it was ironic toward the end of last season just about the time the Miles controversy broke out that Frank Beamer coached his last game at Virginia Tech. There was a huge celebration of his career at the game. He coached VT for 28 years. 28 YEARS! I know that VT is not an elite program like a UT or LSU, but it is a damned good program. He had a 66% winning record there - not even Miles' 77% - but the program stuck with him, and he retired a hero. That's what it should be like.<br /><br />The reality is that college football is a business now. It's big business and brings in millions for universities as well as a boost in recruiting across the board (not just athletes). Big business pays big dollars and demands big results. As for the money it will take to push Miles out: If a bunch of wealthier-than-intelligent LSU boosters want to shell out $10M to say good-bye to Miles, that is their prerogative.
