But one thing is certain: if that happens, it’s going to be harder now to pull Fisher out of FSU. In Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa.

Yes, these are private donations and the money would be paid over many years. By firing Miles, of course, LSU is distinguishing itself: It isn’t like those other universities. Boosters have already agreed to pay the $15 million to $20 million needed to buy out Miles and his staff, the source said. This assumes Fisher is even interested. This is on the heels of an 8-5 season last year-an unacceptable performance in the eyes of the LSU faithful who’ve grown used to a national contender.
According to numerous reports from Louisiana, and our own common sense, Fisher would have to be at the top of the LSU wish list.
LSU still has a football coach with Les Miles under contract, but reports continue to suggest that may not be the case for too much longer. His winning percentage of.
The 62-year-old Miles is 110-33 at LSU with one national championship in the 2007 season.
Let’s put $15 million in perspective, shall we?
Hiring Fisher to be the next LSU head coach would be quite the circle of life move for the Tigers.
And in this day and age, when mercenary coaches often win at all costs and leave scorched earth behind, you can’t ask for more than that. We’re talking Charlie Weis territory.
Wake up the echoes, LSU. The Tigers will have sensational sophomore tailback Leonard Fournette for one more year. The first of those losses came against Alabama, which had now beaten the Tigers five straight times, starting with the 2011-12 BCS title game in New Orleans.
Even with his recruitment now open, and the Tigers mired in a three-game losing streak, Moses remains a fervent supporter of embattled head coach Les Miles. Blacc’s promoter then declined an offer from Halftime Live, LSU’s new halftime show partner.
So yes, there are problems in Baton Rouge.
“I guess what I’m telling you is that you can have a flat tire for a while”. They look east and see their former coach, Nick Saban, running a consistent playoff contender at Alabama.
“I don’t want to go there, Miles continued when asked if he would like to be involved in discussions about his future”. Mark Richt tried it, albeit unsuccessfully, with his Alabama-like hires.
Poor showings in recent games appear to be the main factor for LSU athletic director Joe Alleva and his athletic board.
The Tigers, who lost three straight to drop to 7-3, host Texas A&M on Saturday night. But here at LSU… this is an elite program. Fifteen million dollars is nothing to sneeze at. Coach Miles is under contract through 2019. Otherwise, good luck and God speed, LSU.

As my esteemed colleague Corey Masisak so eloquently proclaimed recently around the virtual water cooler: “They’re really going to fire Les for a guy who won eight or nine games a couple of times at Rutgers?”
