This sucks. Never a period in LSU football compared to what Miles oversaw. But it had to happen. Thanks Les. God Bless.

Vernonbrew22•91 months

His thanks is a lot of cash and a few black chicks on the side of Brusly

TaderSalad•91 months

Grateful for his victories. Ungrateful for his stubbornness. He had the easiest job in CFB and chose to make it difficult. He pissed it all away.

"He had the easiest job in CFB and choose to make it difficult." How the hell did he have the easiest job in football? Had to play in the SEC west, which most on here would say is the toughest division in the toughest conference in football. Plus he had to face a saban led bama program every year. And we all know that a large majority of posters on the rant claim that saban is second only to god.

TaderSalad•91 months

@Earl Keese - I am not one of the posters that thinks he should have won every game. I am one of the posters that thinks that with the payroll we gave him to work with, our offense should have ranked better than 95th percentile offensively. That was what I was referencing that all he had to do was hire the Ogerons, Chavis', Arandas, on the offensive side and he failed. He wanted to meddle after years of the fans crying for more production. The rest of the country outperformed us and we managed to get lucky. All he had to do was find the best coaches we could afford.

What about Bradley Dale Peveto???

VesperiaLSU•91 months

Patience. It will happen.

MyNameIsNobody•91 months

wonder if he gets an LSU state retirement to go along with the payoff...

damnedoldtigah•91 months

You vest with ten years. You can retire with full benefits at age 60 with ten years. Retirement is based on average of three highest earning years; retirement is 2.5% of that average for each year of service. So yeah, he'll probably get something.

Vernonbrew22•91 months

His base salary is only 255000 so the 30 percent he'll get is based on that. Not that I would turn it down. 12 yrs times 2.5 percent times base plus any accrued leave. I hate that this kinky honky will have a better state retirement than most teachers and state workers. The man is set

MasonTiger•91 months

Done. Now to hire a coach that will keep up with how the game is being played.

Alltheway Tigers!•91 months

Should have never come to this. LSU did not have the nerve to finish the job last year. If it did, Miles would have gone out a winner on the shoulders of his players with the crowd cheering. 2016 season would have had a new coach. Everyone would have been better off. Instead, we have this embarrassment. Miles deserves better. LSU fans deserve much better. LSU admin deserves a kick in the nuts and a bunch of pink slips. Shame on the LSU admin...pussies.

VesperiaLSU•91 months

Couldn't have said it better!

Vernonbrew22•91 months

Right on brother

Mouche337•91 months

I thought they would wait until after the season, but I'm glad they made the move now. I don't think this will hurt our recruiting. Guys come to LSU for our positions coaches, not to play for Les Miles. Now to find a head coach that's offensive minded and can develop QBs. We stacked everywhere else.

Tigers4Lyfe•91 months

Sure they come for varying reasons, but if you don't think a big part of it was Lee then you're not paying attention.
