Les Miles has a new seven-year contract at LSU that also will result in a pay raise for one of the most successful coaches in the history of the Tigers' football program.


''I'm a LSU head coach and will be a LSU head coach for as long as I can be,'' Miles said Wednesday. ''Hopefully, we'll look up seven years from now and I'll be looking for another seven-year extension.''

The new contract runs through 2019, which amounts to a two-year extension. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said financial details were still being worked out and will be released after LSU plays in a still-undecided bowl game to close out this season.

A person familiar with the contract said that Miles' new annual pay would be in the range of $4.3 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because financial details of Miles' deal were not released.

Are you guys satified with the job Miles has done for LSU thus far? I mean hasnt LSU usually been serious threats in the most vicious conference the NCAA has to offer during his tenure? I cant blame Miles for entertaining offers, no more than I would an NFL player putting up top ten numbers, and asking for a new deal.

There is a "Love - Hate - Love" relationship with Les.

The faults I have in him are:

1a. Losing to Ole Miss (Clock mis-management game)

1b. The whole Jordan Jefferson deal

2. Jordan Jefferson

3. Playing Jordan Jefferson the entire BCS NC game.

I really think he is a good coach. I'm glad we have him. However, his hardheadedness is his down fall, sometimes.

the whole Jefferson ordeal was handled poorly by him. Never did hear what the whole story there was.
