Is Sumlin's buyout $15M if yall were to cut ties in Nov/Dec?

That's a big chunk of change, I know yall have been heavily committed to investing in the program & SEC move etc, but do you think that buyout would take place assuming they wanted him out?

For the same reason's I knew Miles was safe last year.. anything> $10M is crazy money regardless of what anyone thinks.

That's a good question. I think it may be less at the end of this year. (Someone chime in if you know the exact details).

There didn't seem to be much of a push to oust Sumlin during the season last year. However, with two high profile QB transfers and the accompanied drama, a reluctance and delay to fire Spavital, a lackluster recruiting class (by recent standards), and just general tiredness of his bullshite has the naitives restless.

Sumlin can play his way off of the hot seat and still sign a good class this year. That would right things with a lot of folks, myself included. However, if he turns in seven or eight wins, or less, then the proverbial hat will be passed among the BMA's to get rid of him. You know how that goes - the cash call to fire the coach.

As for Miles, I was very confused by all of that. I always thought, and believe, that he is a top tier coach. And I seriously question who LSU would have replaced him with, because they could do a lot worse. Obviously cooler heads prevailed and he signed an outstanding class this year.
