Did he also say, "Thanks for my $15 mil buyout, you idiots."?
November 27th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
Seriously. They are the ones forcing him out.

with various quotes from the booster meeting.
November 27th, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^
The boosters told Les he was coaching his last game at LSU. A group of them were the ones promising the money for his buyout.

Maybe not so stupid if they get Jimbo...
November 27th, 2015 at 4:38 PM ^
Why would Jimbo leave? He has a great thing going at FSU and was mentored by Bobby Bowden. If LSU is driving Les out with Jimbo in mind I imagine they'll be very disappointed.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
Word on the street is that LSU is Jimbo's dream job and that Les was picked over Jimbo, who was the OC? I think, after Saban left.
Everyone has that unicorn coaching gig that they would die for.
Michigan was Les Miles' dream gig, but intra-Michigan politics/drama happened.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
I dunno, seems iffy. It's not a good look for LSU to drive out a coach as successful as Miles. Fisher probably has all the job security he needs at FSU, at LSU he'd be expected to eclipse Saban.
November 27th, 2015 at 7:50 PM ^
Jimbo is going through a divorce and wants out of Tallahassee, so it's been said.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:59 PM ^
Would Les come if Durkin left for the Maryland / other job? I damn sure hope so!
November 27th, 2015 at 5:03 PM ^
Les has always been an offensive coach.

- Harbaugh will never come to Michigan
- Les Miles bought a house in Ann Arbor
- Notre Dame is Urban Meyer's "dream job"
- Jon Gruden is "seriously interested in [major power who has fallen on hard times]." But for realsies this time
- Doug Marrone and David Cutcliffe are candidates for the Michigan job
- Saban to Texas
- Jameis Winston is an upstanding young man
and none of that came true. Lots of rumors get spread during searches. I see no reason why Jimbo would both laterally to LSU which is going to be a tougher job. Look at the ACC this year
November 27th, 2015 at 4:49 PM ^
November 27th, 2015 at 5:29 PM ^
Not to mention its a whole HELL of a lot easier to make the playoff at FSU than it is at LSU. I just don't see many coaches wanting to leave a situation like FSU for one where 10-win seasons isn't good enough.
Jimbo is already at $5M a season. To leave FSU for LSU, they would have to go into the $7-8M/year range. He'd need a significant "put up with booster bullshit" bonus.
November 27th, 2015 at 6:17 PM ^
They want someone to beat Saban. They'll offer Saban type money to get who they want. They don't pay an enormous buyout of a good coach with anything else in mind.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:46 PM ^
Agreed.....unless they have Herman or Kelly locked up. Those would be the only two home run hires IMO. Fischer is staying at FSU.
November 27th, 2015 at 7:18 PM ^
Wait, you think Tom Herman of Houston would be a "home run" hire to replace Les Miles? Les has one of the strongest track records in all of college football. Tom Herman has been HC for one year. The flavor of the month type thinking w/ coaching hires has led to many a disaster. Apologies if you're referring to another Herman that I am missing.
November 27th, 2015 at 8:45 PM ^
This coaching savant Tom Herman just lost a week ago to god damned UConn in Storrs.
Home Run? As if.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
Lucky for lsu he has a hell of a coaching tree.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
Heading for greener pastures.
November 27th, 2015 at 5:07 PM ^
November 27th, 2015 at 4:35 PM ^
Two sources who spoke directly to Les Miles say he in no way indicated today that this would be his last game.
"Heck no," Miles said

Time to see who's check verified Twitter source is more credible SQ...

Contrary to media reports, #LSU coach Les Miles has not resigned nor did he indicate he was resigning when speaking to booster group today.

November 27th, 2015 at 5:32 PM ^
Of course Miles isn't resigning or announcing he's resigning. He's getting fired. If he resigns, he doesn't get that $15M buyout.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:35 PM ^
Chile is good. Add beans and hot sauce. Mmmmmm! Every try it with cheese? Wowie, so delicious. Have some bread with it too.
Three Cheers for Chili

Check the post history.

He must be cut and pasting, the first chili is misspelled on another post.

Hope they end up doing a Nebraska! Serve 'em right getting rid of a guy this this. Les Miles should have gotten an option to retire or something this is an ugly way to change coaches.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
Because I quit!
November 27th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
And he has Michigan to thank for that ridiculous buyout clause and contract LOL
November 27th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
But yeah, he owes Michigan (and Herbstreit, I suppose), big time.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:37 PM ^
see if emu would want you.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:38 PM ^
So much intrigue. The Truth Is Out There.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
They are beyond "so" fucking stupid and have entered into "immeasurably" fucking stupid.
We'll check back with them in five years to see how this has worked out for them.
November 27th, 2015 at 6:50 PM ^
November 27th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
I see they already told Mike the Tiger.
November 28th, 2015 at 12:17 AM ^
Mike, the tiger of ennui.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
Les for DC if DJ leaves!
November 27th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
So no to your rather moronic suggestion.
November 27th, 2015 at 4:58 PM ^
Do you get off on being a dick, or does it just come naturally to you?
November 27th, 2015 at 5:07 PM ^
an asshole or does it come naturally to you?
