ESPN is reporting it too so it looks like a done deal. I think they will still owe him a chunk of money so it's not like he will be broke with no work......
Les Miles fired according to Sunday reports

Poor Dameyune. Jumped from one sinking ship to the other only to see the one he landed on sink first.
Possibly, but I'm thinking after last year's debacle of trying to hire Jimbo, coupled with the opening day loss to Wisconsin, anything short of 10-2 with a win over Bama would've gotten him canned this year.
The expectations for LSU this season were simply unattainable, given their QB talent, or lack thereof.
For a guy who is not going to stay at Alabama more than two years, Coach Nick Saban is now the longest serving coach in the SEC.

Hate to hear this. I think Miles is an outstanding coach who has done a great job.
It's a shame that the ending of the game last night cost him his job.Without that one play LSU is 3-1 with one very close, early season loss to a top ten team. Such is the nature of the beast I guess, but it's still kind of sad.
I think it will cost LSU a whole bunch of money to get a top tier coach to take that job.
Very few currently successful coaches want to venture into the world of that ridiculous fan base.

At this point Herman is at the mercy of everyone who wants a coach, who knows which way he will lean.

Posted in the Coaching Carousel thread, but I'll paste it here also:
I said to my buddies last night that before the game I figured it was a "coaching hot seat loser-leave-town" sort of game. Turns out I was right.
Miles has been Malzahned
In addition, why give him an extension in 2016 that will increase his buyout?

I don't think UH will let Herman go without a big fight. LSWho may find themselves stuck hiring someone like Orgeron (maybe even Orgeron himself) at a bargain basement price for a few years. In the long run it may be a smart move. Wait until a young up and comer is there for the picking. Of course, they may have intentions of hiring LK away.
My thought as well. Much easier playoff path through the Little 12 than the SEC West.
We are soon to find out how good of a job LSU is. No question that Coach Saban elevated it, if you look at who they hired before him. It was not top established coaches, but a peck down. They hit 7's with CNS. I don't believe he was at the Herman level in hot commodities. But a solid up and coming.
Don't forget, they almost let a hapless Miss State come back to win in Tiger Stadium.

What makes you think he wanted to save his job? Probably kept things the way they were to collect the buyout and get away from the fans that have constantly bashed him for years and called for him to be fired. I think he wanted this to happen.
