Would be a good move for him. These coaches at Miss St, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, etc. are never going to actually win anything in the grand scheme of things. They should move on if offered a position in a place where they can be more successful.

My first guess is Charlie "decided schematic advantage" Weis.
So LSU is going to pay the most successful coach is school history $15M to not coach.
South Carolina should hire him tonight and have him coach against Clemson this coming weekend.

Ayup, rumored to be 18.9 million.
If they don't have a home run lined up this may well be one of the five dumbest mistakes in CFB history.
You hated losing to Bama Tigers? Now enjoy getting blown out by Bama.
I think a lot of LSU fans down here have just gotten spoiled with winning and the positive recognition. Remember, prior to Saban, LSU was no where near it was today at least in terms of consistency.
These past couple of days I couldn't help but laugh when I hear "The last coach that lost 3 straight ended up getting fired." Well duh he went 2-8 and got fired before the last game and went 4-7 the previous year. That's not really the same situation here.
If boosters are willing to pay this much money and LSU is going to let them then I hope LSU is smart enough to have been talking to coaches already. If not I have no hope for them and will be looking forward to seeing how well Miles' future team does.

Oh, he will.
There are programs lining up and chomping at the bit.
AND he's going to get what? $15MM on a buyout.
Sheeeeeit
Exactly.

The issue with keeping Miles is he won't fire Cam Cameron and fix the offense. He just won't. Is there a better coach on the market right now? Not really. I honestly don't understand the Fisher rumors and laugh that people on campus actually think it'll happen. There's no reason to think he'll leave unless Avella decides to empty the bank for him.
Houston and Memphis coaches seem to be the trendy picks and god I don't want that.

Not really. Fanbase pretty much stopped supporting him after the 2011 championship debacle, and now management has too.
He secretly planted Hemp into the LSU field, and has been high off his ass every game since aught 7.
Apparently their boosters are covering the buyout of he and all of his coaches. So this isn't hitting LSU at all, actually. Hopefully some UGA boosters see this and get inspired, not holding my breath.

If I was Miles I'd be all like "Yes, [Insert School Name Here], I will coach your school for $1.00 per year."
I remember when LSU was considered an easy win for us back in the Spurrier days. Think they rushed the field when they beat us in 1997. Lol
I remember when Florida was considered an easy win for us prior to Spurrier coming there.
I don't really, I'm only 32.
Apparently, the buyout will be reduced by the contract of his next job, but that didn't happen with Weis or Muschamp according to Darren Rovell.

Unlike Florida with Muschamp & Notre Dame with Weis, a Les Miles buyout would be reduced by contract amount of new job.

At some point in the late 90's, I want to think Alabama had gone something like 30 years without losing to LSU in Baton Rouge.

LSU is 9-20-3 against Tennessee 6 of those wins are happened after Saban got there.
I"m amazed at how awful that Weis deal was, they even got screwed in the future contract part which I thought was standard for coaches.
He's had like 3 or 4 different major jobs since then. OC in the NFL and College, and a HC in Kansas.
Oh man, remember when he going to be "the shit" when he joined Muschamp? Them were the days.

Today, we are all LSU fans.
Pull a Bo Pelini.
Truth.
I think you Sparty fans know he's a little too old for that, he's set for life there. (you are a Sparty fan right?)

Sure, I guess they imply the "H" to be both H and I, but come on, they're spelling OHO.
OHO acronym is NOT taken.
that's just how they spell Ohio in Ohio, quality education and all that
