I don't know if this is legit but it purports to the amendment to his contract: http://i.usatoday.net/sports/graphics/2009/coaches-contracts/pdf/miles_lsu.pdf The reason I'm not sure its legit is that it refers to him as "Les" and thats not his legal name.
I believe it is. It's the only name he goes by professionally. You can use any name you want to as long as you don't attempt fraud by doing so.
Like my mother always told me, don't count your chickens before they hatch. If we don't have another replacement lined up for him, one that is going to come in and hold the same type of achievements Miles has, then why give up, in my opinion, the great coach we have? Some of ya'll just listen to what other fans say about CLM like "he's an idiot", "he can't talk worth a damn", "he cannot coach worth a damn". I like to look at it as we have a great coach that has stood by us and is winning games, maybe not NCs year in and year out, but giving positive seasons. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
The greener comment could not be more true. Look at Teams like Miami and Nebraska who fired coaches for only winning 9 games. Both of them are JUST coming out of the doldrums. I am not casting a vote either way, but I also fear we can become like we did in the past or end up like many other programs (OU, Nebraska, etc) who were on top hired a coach who kept them around, fired them because they all clamored for the good ole days and ended up in an even faster decline. YES all those teams rebounded but it took years of mediocrity until they finally found another good fit.
