Les Miles offered $27.5 million by Arkansas

Here is a thought. If Les goes to Arky you have to think Lsu makes a serious run at someone big.

Oh, that's a huge poke in the eye to a traditional rival if it's true.

But not beneath Arkansas...

But you wouldn't take Saban if we stood a chance? I love this move by Arkansas.

Arkansas is getting beyond desperate if this doesn't work.

 

[kiddiedoc]

IMO it would take more than that to leave LSU for Arkansas . Miles is nuts though so who knows

I'm not sure about that. $2 million a year is a lot of money!

I like Les Miles. That said, in present day, who can't win @ LSU? They are in a talent rich state with no other major colleges competing for the talent in the state. Les Miles isn't worth that kind of money IMO. This seems like a desperation move by Arkansas, who already has been Rumored to have hired Gruden, Patterson, Peterson, and I guess they will be holding a press conference naming Les as coach tomm. That's a Hell of a staff they have there. Hope they leave some coaches for the rest of the universities seeking a new coach

I think this may be a mix up... Les Miles's agent, George Bass, has only 1 other client currently, and his name is Gary Patterson.

Dude your avatar is sick, I'm gonna steal it just so I can stare at it>

Les will be getting a big raise at LSU in 3-2-1

 

[Herman Hickman]

Miles at Arkansas would look a lot like Miles at Oklahoma State. He'll win. But he will never win big.

I'd think Miles isn't that dumb; LSU is just about the perfect job.

Great point.

Yep. Les without all that Louisiana talent isn't worth half what Arkansas is offering him.

LSU should let him walk and take the opportunity to upgrade.

Finebaum and Bo Mattingly were horse laughing this rumor today on the air.

Appears there was no offer by Arkansas. This is confusing.

I hope Miles stays where he is. I'd hate for LSU to get a really good coach with all that talent laying around.

Can we say contract re-negotiations? I'm sure this is all a bluff move by Mile's camp to try to jockey for a pay raise at LSU...

Firstly, he turned down a pretty sweet Michigan job. And secondly as others have pointed out, while their defense is beyond stout there is no excuse for their offense to suck as bad as it does with that kind of in state talent. I'm not sure he'd really do all that well at much more talent starved area but in the same tough conference.
