When you step back and look at the big picture this doesn't make sense...

He already recruits SEC level players without playing the SEC schedule.

LSU fans...So you're going to fire Miles and pay his buyout. Ok...Can you offer a contract better than this?

LINK

$5 mil base salary in 2015 + $100k per year
$44 mil thru 2022

Potential Bonuses:

$1.2 mil if stays till end
$200k for natty
$100k for 1st in ACC
$50k any other bowl
$50k for ACC coach of year
$75k for AP coach of year
$250k for meeting GPR goals

Tell me why he would leave that contract and schedule. What would LSU offer salary wise? It's going to have to be a lot more than $5.1 million...

I doubt FSU is going to let him go without a fight. It's also much easier to recruit when your school is located in the state of Florida....

Better program, better assistant play, better place to live. He also gets to shite stomp the Aggies every year with that guaranteed win.

He came in after FSU forced out their NC-winning all-time great coach. They say you don't want to follow the legend. Well that's what he has to gain, he could do it TWICE and buck that trend. Pretty impressive.

I know nothing about salary details, but the rumors going around are all personal reasons:

1)recently divorced and wants to get away and start over

2)special needs child who sees a doctor in Baton Rouge regularly

3)wants to beat sabans arse because saban told both LSU and UAB not to hire him as their head coach.

4)lived here and worked here before. Not new territory

Nice stats, but you need to work up a chart.

The Louisiana pond of talent is stocked. Lord Saban once told us he'd build an imaginary recruiting fence around the state and be good to go forever. If Jimbo can develop the recruits, he stands to win on the biggest stage of football.

But to be honest, none of that matters because he's staying at FSU and we're just getting fricked.

I already said all of this. he is at a better job to get to the playoff. he plays a weak schedule, recruits at a high level, lsu is so broke they can't pay the assistant that left them the 400k he is owed, they are going to blow 17 mil to get rid of miles and be too broke to buy someone else out and pay him his money. stupidest shite I have ever heard.

FSU will give him a raise. Florida's lack of state income tax also plays a part when discussing a multi million dollar salary.

The LSU job just doesn't offer anything over FSU. There is more talent in the FL panhandle than the entire state of LA. The job security at FSU is also a plus. LSU just fired their most successful coach in history after a minor slip.

Don't try to speak reason to them. Let them sell themselves on Jimbo so we can laugh at them when it's not.

Storm clouds gathering in the shite hole of Tally. Now it's true that he played a role, but he could puss out and drive west on I-10 just to get away from them.

They pissed him off a few years ago about his contract when things weren't so good. In other words, ego.
