Les Miles being saved this season is really just delaying the inevitable, according to a columnist for NOLA.com and a long-time reporter of LSU athletics.

Ron Higgins believes Miles will be out as the Tigers coach at this time next season, and he made the prediction on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Tuesday afternoon.

Higgins added, “I don’t think I’ve ever covered a circus like that one.”

Miles will have an early season Heisman favorite in RB Leonard Fournette. Plus, he currently has the second-ranked recruiting class for 2016, according to ESPN, only behind Ohio State.
