Great example of how influence contract terms can have on the future of a coach’s career. LSU’s decision to continue its relationship with Les Miles could be considered a business decision for several reasons.

The buyout would be the second highest coaches buyout since the termination of former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weiss, who was paid $18.9 million.
