Just heard a replay of the press conference (channel 19 in BR), Skip said there was no buyout. Anyone else confirm this, or am I hearing things/misinterpretting?
He actually said "there is no million dollar buyout, that is not true". He didn't say there wasn't a buyout per se.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1958118 Yes there is a buy-out Skip says so in the espn article. The article also says OSU tried to match LSU $$$ but he wanted to come and did not try to get LSU to renegotiate, which I think is awesome.
Some good lines from that ESPN article: _"I'm not going to pay Saban money for a guy who hasn't earned it," Bertman said._ _Bertman did say there will be a buyout clause in the new contract._ and the one Geauxld mentioned: _When LSU offered Miles the job, Oklahoma State offered him a raise, Bertman said. "Miles stuck to his word and did not try to renegotiate with me," he said._
That's because he just negotiated a new contract with OSU a week and half ago. It was never signed by Les Miles.
Interesting. Looks like he really wanted out of OSU. Maybe she (OSU) just wasn't a good kisser and he wanted to try someone else! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Rumor, and I repeat, RUMOR has it is he was kind of told see ya later, it's time to let Mike run the show now, glad you've got a great job offer, good luck.
