'Good possibility' that LSU Tigers buyout Les Miles contract - source
- 9 years ago
There is "a very good possibility" that the LSU Tigers will buy out Les Miles' contract, a high-ranking source involved in the decision regarding the coach's future told ESPN on Monday.
"In Louisiana, we expect national championships, and we're not in it," the source said, adding that meetings are occurring Monday that could lead to a quick resolution.
A failure to beat Alabama and what is believed to be an underachieving, vanilla offense are major factors, according to the source.
The Tigers are coming off consecutive losses to Alabama, Arkansas and Ole Miss - the first time the program has lost three in a row since 1999.
LSU, which dropped out of the AP poll on Sunday, also was unranked at the end of the 2014 season.
