Given Miles' great record at LSU......

Why doesn't he have suiters every year or at least when there is a major college HC vacancy? Is the UM gig the only one?

1) LSU is already paying him top money for college
2) The perception that he won with Saban's players, but that has changed after this year
3) A couple of blunders managing the two minute offense
IMO, Miles is a top 5 head coach in college today. He just needs to replace Crowton with a good OC.

the same reason why coaches at top universities don't get looked at. The only person that has been looked at is maybe Stoops by Florida and that's about it, its pretty much a lateral move and other teams would be wasting their time. Except in Michigan's case they know Miles would be interested, he's a Michigan fan.

Mostly because he has one of the best jobs in college football already.

Exactly, how many other jobs are more attractive?

quote:Very few schools are viewed as a better HC job than LSU. Miles gets persued by Michigan since it's his alma-mater....similar to when Stoops gets the call from Florida every time they've had a HC opening.

Coaches at the top 10 jobs in the country typically only get pursued by their alma-mater, hometown, or the NFL.

Because he's got about as good a deal as it gets in college football. He's making several million/year and he's at a university where he can win large in the best conference in the country. I don't hear of Mack Brown, Tressel, or Saban being courted by other teams. Maybe their agents are being contacted quietly but I don't know that to be true and if that is the case, I'd imagine their agents let it be known that they aren't leaving for another college. How often do you remember Saban being courted by other college programs when he was at LSU? I don't remember Pete Carroll being sought after by other colleges when he was at USC. The only coach I recall that gets courted from time to time who is already making millions and is already at a blueblood program is Stoops.

I wonder if the thread turned out the way the OP wanted it to or if he was just genuinely curious?

Negatiger bait. ..... Fail

Was just curious....I agree with the responses. I guess it's good to be king...yes?

Exactly my feelings except for Crowton. I understand why people say this and if Miles makes the change I get it. But what I think is going on is Miles and Crowton are coming into their own.
If you watch this past season and how LSU only lost 2 games with poor QB talent I truly believe Crowton and Miles are building something special that will be dominate in the coming years.

IMO......
1) Not respected as a good x's and o's coach.
2) Numerous in game coaching blunders.
3) On the spot public speaking is horrible.
4) Recruiting in one of the best areas with no in state competition.
Not saying he is the worst with time management and general late game coaching but ESPN definitely loves to make sure everyone sees his blunders over and over. They had some other terrible coaching blunders this year by B. Davis, Spurrier and some others that ESPN pretty much let slide....whether it is because those coaches are getting a pass for being well respected and they love to show Miles as the village idiot IDK.

Explain why these coaches never get pursued by other top college programs:
1) Nick Saban
2) Mack Brown
3) Pete Carroll (when he was at USC)
4) Urban Meyer
5) Mark Richt
6) Bob Stoops (other than Florida where he was a DC)
7) Jim Tressel

Are you serious? All of those coaches were pursued by other teams.
When your the HC at Texas, Florida, Bama, USC, Ohio St. other colleges pretty much have no chance.....except Notre Dame.
Posted on 1/7/11 at 8:17 am to GeauxTigersLee
Because he only has a buyout for Michigan in his contact. I actually wouldn't want any other coach over miles. Brown? How did Texas do in their bowl game? Saban who leaves? Meyer who always talks retirement and eventually did. Harbaugh, who never won the PAC 10? I think I'm good with miles a national champion coach and we are about to get his second 11 win season with his players. Don't bring the bull about tenn because we have lost plenty of games aka Alabama on horrible calls and plenty of games on just being unlucky.

How do you know there haven't been? These things are handled through agents. That's why coaches hire agents.
A college AD will call around to the agents of coaches he is interested in and guage the possible reaction from the target coach(s). If there is no interest in the job, the AD moves on.
You didn't really believe that these things are done one-on-one did you?
You don't honestly believe that the buzz on fan message boards is accurate?
If you answered "yes" to that, you must be very new around here.

Are they persued in honesty by the AD's or is this chase mainly the Rantings of uninformed fans?
More the latter I suspect.
Kind of like the Gruden man crush on this site.
