Back-to-back winning seasons were not enough for Brian Flores to keep his job as coach of the Miami Dolphins.

LSU's former athletic director recommended in 2013 that Les Miles be fired as Tigers football coach because of his behavior with female student workers. The school and Miles agreed to a settlement late Monday, just days after he was placed on administrative leave amid sexual misconduct allegations from his tenure with the Tigers. Asked whether Miles lied to him, Long replied: “That's debatable whether that was a lie.”“I can't really answer why Coach Miles responded the way he did,” Long said. His missteps in hiring Miles came after an underwhelming hiring of Dave Wannstedt at Pittsburgh and his controversial hiring and firing of Bobby Petrino at Arkansas.
