    Uh, I'll have to transfer some funds and it seems my bank's website is offline right now for upgrades.

    My 99 cent Verizon phone won't handle a Square Card reader and who says I have anything in my bank account.
    AND yeah I know I'm cheap but my wife thinks I'll get in trouble with a smart phone.

    It is hard to know where to assign blame. I'm afraid that Les is looking like Woody Hayes at the end of his career. I'm waiting for him to go ballistic on Sumlin or whomever we play in a bowl.

    It will probably be negotiated down to like 12 million or so.

    Just saw this on ESPN's LSU page. Looks like Les could be bartering for one more season then retirement...

    REPORT: MILES, LSU TALKED EXIT LAST WEEK
    Coach Les Miles met with LSU officials last week to discuss his future, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports, and the discussion was centered on how and when the two parties would be parting ways. During the conversation, the realization that Miles's days are numbered set in with LSU's head football coach, who discussed a retirement from LSU following the 2016 season.

    They left off part of the quote and that was before the Ole Miss beating.

    "Smith also reported Miles met with officials last week to discuss how and when the two sides would part ways. Miles reportedly suggested a retirement following the 2016 season, but Smith noted "some TAF members prefer to pull the trigger now, citing the potential corrosive effects a lame-duck coach could have on recruiting, staff procurement and organizational momentum."

    Thanks for the correction. I couldn't find the original quote and ESPN's website is a pain in the ass! lol
    I guess we'll know more about this situation after the next game.

    I agree with some TAF members.

    TAF has already said, according to an article published yesterday, that the buyout is not a concern. The money would be over 8 years, and is 15 million for Les and 2 for the rest of his staff according to what I have seen. Of course the guys who bust ass on a weekly basis hoping to get a break into the coaching ranks for next to nothing would probably be screwed, but that is how it works, unfortunately.
