Could #LesMiles4Purdue Really Happen?

The biggest news of the college football season happened because a ball was snapped about a second too late. Had LSU gotten their final play off in time Les Miles is likely still employed this morning. Instead, LSU paid out over $14 million to tell a coach that has gone 114-34 for them with a National Championship, an appearance in a second title game, and two SEC titles to go away.

It must be nice.

Miles never won fewer than 8 games in Baton Rouge. He was 7-4 in bowl games. He had seven seasons of at least 10 wins, but in the cutthroat, “What have you done for me lately” world that is the SEC West it wasn’t good enough.
