Didn't Reggie Bush get more than that in college? Thats not right. A division I college coach should get more than a player.

wow les miles highest paid dumby... i mean coach in college football? I wouldn't pay that guy $10 to coach my team.

Thats why he didn't go to Michigan

Hey LSU students/alum, how about a tuition and ticket price increase??

Wow, championship envy! Hey PS, the TAF ponied up 100 + mil for renovations to Death Valley, and 30 mil for a new baaseball stadium. I'm sure if the school needs $ to keep a coach who brought a crystal ball to LSU they would gladly give whatever they need. Sooner, I guess that's why we have two crystal balls and you guys not so much!
Go Les!
Geaux Tigers!!!

whoa,serious,ca-ching

You wouldn't pay $10, thats fine. Just don't complain about not winning bowl games. And just a few years back, wasn't it Stoops that was the highest paid? So you are paying the money, but without the results...

rundmv ...good point, and hard to argue..

Les makin some serious change... Good for him... Lets just hope all that money... Doesn't take over his brain... Save yourself the hassle now Les... Get rid of your incumbent QB... Because if you give him ANOTHER chance... He is going to make you look stupid... Guaranteed

While I think the 'soonerfan' comment was wrong, OU has more than 2 championships. They have 7 national championships.

Nearly 4 mil a year is a lot of money! Especially in the south! Now, as a sooner myself, it is my job to not be a Miles fan, but he is a good coach.

Slow day for you today, it appears.

If Miles can keep fielding the same quality of paly each year; the football team will bring in more than enough to cover his raise.

Jabril1217 ..It is a slow day, and starting to get nervous here. Still have not done my taxes, and for good reason. Just glad Spitzer made it a little interesting this week.Which reminds me, is that tax deductable?

And they wonder why NFL coaches go back to the colleges !!!

lets see how LSU does now that sabans guy are all pretty much gone now

This year we will get to see if Miles is really that great or just lucky. He made a bunch of strange but gutsy calls last year that usually ended up in his favor. I don't think he can survive another season in the SEC pulling tricks like that, but maybe he will prove me wrong.

Overpaid!

Hey TimTebowRules
"He made a bunch of strange but gutsy calls last year "
Strange?
Is it strange to go for it on 4th down when you are behind late in the 4th Q? (Florida game).

Strange to be in field goal range when down by 2 and under 2 minutes left, and to run a couple of plays to run out the clock before kicking your field goal?
Then, one of those plays just happens to result in a touchdown? (Auburn game).

How are them grapes?
A bit sour?

What was strange was for the team with the Heisman trophy winner to be one of two of the nine teams to let the SEC down and get hammered in their bowl game. And, against a weak Michigan team that couldn't beat a 1AA team! And, nearly a home game as well!
