Les Miles (grass eater)

The other day I think Corso made some statement about Miles having a clause in his contract that guarantees him being one of, if not the, highest paid coaches in the SEC.

I looked up his contract to get the facts on this. I'm assuming his recent extension wouldn't affect these clauses.

Whenever Les wins the SEC Title at LSU, his "total compensation" for the next year must be bumped to be among the top-3 in the conference.

Whenever Les wins the BCS Title at LSU, his "total compensation" for the next year must be bumped to be among the top-3 in the country.

I bet he would take a bag of premium grass clippings in lieu of the bump in pay.

Quoted as saying "Michigan is not the same place I left"


Clearly a reference to the installation of artificial turf

There was also this ...

Miles' wife, Kathy, had a central role in the decision, and "tears were shed," the coach said. Miles also let his four children weigh in.
"Every one of my children are so happy here, enjoy being here, their friends, their things," Miles said. "That's not something that could not necessarily be maneuvered and replaced, but it did tell me they're happy here and that was an important factor."

I mean, think of it, the choice is between Louisiana and a town near Detroit.

Both positions have problems.

But location (and worse problems) swings the deal.

Michigan reportedly made two offers to Miles

Congratulations Brady Hoke. Good hire Dave Brandon. But, please, don't try to sell us on this seamless Michigan coaching search. Hoke was not Plan A all along.
We now know that Hoke, Michigan's new coach, was the fourth -- maybe fifth -- choice to replace Rich Rodriguez. Just like Rich Rod himself was about the third choice to replace Lloyd Carr. (Wow, I'm beginning to think the Michigan isn't that good a job. That's another argument for another time.)
The truth is that Hoke -- hired last week -- wasn't anywhere near the first choice. You probably know that but now there is tangible proof. Hoke was the Back-Up Plan -- Plan C, D or E. You know how I know? I know who was contacted. You know some of them -- Jim Harbaugh etc. I know who didn't show interest. I know who said no. I know that I'm calling B.S. on Brandon after reading this story.
According to it, Michigan offered $4.25 million per year to Les Miles, more than his LSU salary. Miles reportedly said no. Then, Michigan came back and offered more. Miles said no again. Meanwhile, Brandon, the Michigan AD, still won't admit an offer was made. Who is he trying to kid? Was that meeting with Miles an exchange of phone numbers?
