Compared to the Texas Two-Step by Billy Clyde Gillispie that left Hog basketball high and dry a few years back, this feels pretty mild.
Surely no one was counting on Miles leaving a talent hotbed where he can pretty much just toss the pigskin out in practice every year and rack up a Top 10 team.
AP sources say LSU and Miles have agreed on a new contract, with a raise.
Sur-prise, surprise.

This is great news.
I am so sorry for your loss, Verla. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
We've lost a man of great intellect, character and humor.
And like all of the Six Pioneers, he was very courageous, too.
Condolences to Mr. Mercer's family and friends.
Thoughts and prayers are with you, Baby James and the entire family, Verla.
I can see how other issues just don't matter to you and yours right now.
Re: “Bret Bielema to coach Hogs, multiple outlets report UPDATE”
Lindsey is right, probably, about some sports talk complainers opining that the Big 10 ain't the SEC.
But a former Michigan State Coach named Nick Saban worked out pretty well for LSU a few years back. (And he's working out even better for Alabama.)
Not that it proves anything . . . except that there's always fodder for every point of view on sportstalk.
Personally, I like the hire. Wisconsin was offensively challenged in the Capitol One Bowl against Arkansas circa 2007 but the Russell Wilson/Montee Ball version last year was high-flying.
