Interesting. I am still not wild about the idea of Fisher coming in, but I can understand people wanting a proven HC.
Really nothing new there except it proves Alleva wasn't just leaving him dangling in the wind like some claim. Miles was gone the day the report leaked and the administration didn't give him a vote of confidence and he knew it.
Think maybe it will eventually come out that it was more mutual than anything else, that he was given an ultimatum to change the offensive philosophy, beginning with the OC, and he refused? I think this would be the best case scenario for both Miles and LSU.
Les Miles will coach his final game at LSU on Saturday vs. Texas A&M, Miles tells Gridiron Club 11/27/2015 1:45:57 PM By CODY WORSHAM Tiger Rag Editor Les Miles has coached 142 games in 11 seasons at LSU. Number 143, it appears, will be his last. Miles indicated to members of the Gridiron Club on Friday that Saturday’s matchup between LSU and Texas A&M would be his final game as the Tigers' head coach, sources at the meeting told Tiger Rag. The coach appeared in good spirits, sources said, reiterating messages that he’d "always be a Tiger” and "thanks for a great 11 years," but informed the booster club's members, in an indirect but clear manner, that Friday’s meeting would be his last with them, even explicitly saying he would not be coaching LSU’s bowl game. Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman announcedyesterday Miles would be "let go as the coach of LSU” on Sunday or Monday. That would appear to open the door for former LSU offensive coordinator and current Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher to return to Baton Rouge as Miles’ replacement, a scenario Football Scoop’s Scott Roussel considers to be LSU’s primary plan. Miles has posted a 110-32 record at LSU, and his .775 winning percentage is the best among LSU coaches with a minimum of 25 games coached. He won two SEC championships, three SEC West titles, and the 2007 BCS National Championship, with a runner-up finish in 2011. Miles’s contract with LSU runs through 2019, and if he is in fact fired, LSU will owe him a $15 million buyout.
