Les Miles settles buyout with LSU; is a new job on the horizon?
 

New golf buddy for Bill Self?

Les Miles and LSU announced Thursday that they reached an agreement on what the school owes Miles.

Miles, 65, was fired as LSU’s coach during the 2016 season and the school agreed to pay him over $9 million as part of that termination. Thursday, the school said it would pay $1.5 million of the remaining $6.5 million it owed Miles through 2023.

“It’s time for both parties to move forward,” LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in a statement. “One of the challenges of the buyout that was in place was there just wasn’t a lot of incentive to move on to other things. We are looking to provide that and Coach Miles and his representatives also were ready. It was a mutually agreed upon goal and a very positive process from beginning to end.”

t’s easy to read Alleva’s statement and wonder if this means Miles has a very good shot at landing another coaching job in 2019. Miles has been out of coaching since he was fired at LSU and has said he wants to coach again.

He’s been prominently mentioned as a candidate at Kansas, which is parting ways with coach David Beaty at the end of the season. Miles and Kansas athletic director Jeff Long previously worked together at Michigan and Long made Miles an offer while he was the athletic director at Arkansas.

Tuesday, Kansas even filed a flight plan to Baton Rouge, where Miles still lives. That was an apparent head fake. The plane went to Colorado. We’ll find out whether or not that was a troll of Kansas fans or a sign of who will be the next coach in the next couple weeks.

Colorado

KANSAS!!!!

Rest of Big 12 hoping it's not Kansas.

We will wait and see but thus far Colorado seems where he will end up. He has roots there and has a lot of friends as well. That being said we can do a lot worse than Miles.

It's a good thing the Tigers left the Big 12 huh?

He's not coming out of retirement to go to Kansas. I could see Colorado as a possibility, though.

Regarding football? Good for Georgia,Florida,Kentucky,S.Carolina, & Tenn... :D

because colorado and the shit pac 12 is better? Have you seen what coaches say about the pac 12?

He’s headed to Kansas.

Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger reports that Kansas is finalizing a contract agreement with former LSU HC Les Miles.
Per Dellenger, an announcement on Miles' hiring could come as early as this weekend. The former Tigers head coach has been linked to the open job in Lawrence ever since the team fired David Beaty at the beginning of the month. He and KU AD Jeff Long have a relationship which goes back to the 1980's. Miles went 114-34 at LSU prior to his midseason firing in 2016, but would be in for a major rebuilding project with Kansas should he accept this job. Potential contract length and monetary terms, here, remain an unknown. Stay tuned.

Yup, I'll take Miles all day everyday. Great hire for our program peeps. :)

My best bud is an LSU alum, he loves Miles as well.

Right! Not so much for the Tigaz.

If les miles can make fatass demarcus russell a first round first pick qb he can do anything.

Not saying where he’s going - I have no idea, but COLORADO!?!? Seriously!?!? ROFL
