The story that won't go away...

[The Maestro]

The Detroit Free Press is all over. Miles is STILL in the mix for this damn fine coaching vacancy!

If he won the title and left after that speech, he would make the hate for Nick Saban in bayou land seem charming.

Jim Tressel HAS to be loving this! Michigan, the arch rival, is bettering the Bucknuts chances at a title with the distraction.

[OU4LIFE]

like I said two weeks ago.

If Miles isn't the next coach at meatchicken, i'll be shocked.

[sooner_born_1960]

Amen. When Michigan hires a new coach not named Miles, I'll believe he's staying a LSU.

[yermom]

maybe he wants to see what he's in for before he decides

and yeah, i have a hard time believing he doesn't go.

i'd imagine winning the MNC would help him in contract negotiations

[Civicus_Sooner]

This could be like Franny to aTm. I'm guessing the results would be similar too.

;)

[NYC Poke]

Heh.

[MextheBulldog]

LSU AD Skip Bertman: ""He and Bo Schembechler were real close," Bertman said. "If Bo Schembechler were alive, I doubt he could have got him to go to Michigan. It's hard for people who don't live in the South to understand."

Puhleezeee....

Puhleezeee....

Subtext: Bo Schembechler didn't have $3.5M/year to offer him.

[The Maestro]

Hey, Skip. It's hard for people who don't live in Louisiana and especially the filth ridden city built below sea level of New Orleans to understand why anyone would want to live there, too!

[Scott D]

Subtext: Bo Schembechler didn't have $3.5M/year to offer him.

Bo probably would have that kind of money, but Bo hadn't been the AD at Michigan in about a decade. It's not like Bill Martin doesn't have that kind of money if necessary.

Puhleezeee....

Oddly, that may be the most self-indicting quote I've ever seen. Kind of like an "our **** don't stink" quote. I don't mean to sound insensitive, especially since I have several friends that lived in the area before Katrina, but NO was a dump before Katrina.

[TUSooner]

Baton Rouge =/= New Orleans

[cheezyq]

LSU athletic director Skip Bertman:

"They're frustrated because they didn't get what they want. You can't get Les Miles -- the guy signed his contract. It's over."

Hmmmm.....where have we heard this before? Delusion has many forms....

[Desert Sapper]

Is Leslie trying to appease the Meatchicken beast by beating arch-rival tOSU and winning the MNC, thereby proving his worth?

[SoonerBOI]

Bertman said Miles' amended contract includes free tuition for his children at LSU, academic incentives based on his players' achievements and a severe penalty -- paying off double the remaining years left -- if Miles is fired.

Earning milliions and worry about tuition fee for the kids?

[The Maestro]

Earning milliions and worry about tuition fee for the kids?

No doubt! What next? He also gets free softball season tickets for LSU? A parking spot? A James Carville poster?

[The Maestro]

Okay...NOW it's going away...

No kidding. $15M for getting fired. I'd never show up again.

[soonerboy_odanorth]

A James Carville poster?

RAOFLMA!

[stoopified]

Les is less.

[tulsaoilerfan]

So if les isn't going there what the **** is taking them so long to fill this top notch position? :)

[Crucifax Autumn]

I don't care if he stays or goes, but I DO hope both teams suck next year...And I'm talking Notre Dame sized sucking.

[KantoSooner]

Good God, man! You're talking suck like a whirlpool. Like a blackhole! Suction like the palms of Malcolm Kelly's hands!!!

[Crucifax Autumn]

And that's what I wish on any team that would employ or consider hiring Lester!

[KantoSooner]

Okay, I'm good with it.

His lips say no, but his eyes are definitely saying maybe.

That picture is eerie looking. Any moment I expect to see a forked tongue zipping out of his mouth to snag a bug.

No, it's what I tell most of my dates. Before the restraining order.

Is that his Derrick Zoolander "look"? I bet he practiced that in the mirror a few times.

[OU4LIFE]

he calls that look, 'corn dog stick' instead of blue steel.

[Easting]

It could be a damn fine "magnum". Just sayin'

[walkoffsooner]

If they ever get a meter at the airport to read brain waves. He won't be able to travel with the team.

[Scott D]

because it won't detect any?

[soonerloyal]

I don't care where the dumba** goes, or stays, as long as he doesn't come within a hundred miles of the OU Human Resources Office.
