It appears, then, that whatever decision is made regarding Miles’ future will come after Saturday’s game against Texas A&M game but before LSU (7-3, 4-3 in the SEC) plays what now will be considered a disappointing, even meaningless bowl game.

Saturday’s embarrassing 38-17 loss at Ole Miss and next weekend’s game against Texas A&M appeared to be, for all intents and purposes, a referendum on Miles’ tenure at LSU. And, according to The Advocate, “To say it isn’t going well for Miles would be like saying the Titanic took on a little water after it hit the iceberg.”
What kind of result against the Aggies, The Advocate asks almost rhetorically, could change Miles’ fortunes at this point?
To his credit, Miles said growing speculation about his job security didn’t affect his team or the Ole Miss game.
“I’m a nonfactor,” Miles said after the loss. “It has been and always will be about the team at LSU.”
Miles said he would speak to his team Monday about his job status.
NOLA.com, citing unidentified sources, reported that “big-money boosters at LSU are fed up with the performance of Miles’ teams, especially his offense and were getting money together for a buyout depending on how the team finished the season.”
