#2 Les Miles - I heard on ESPN radio this morning that he has turned down the job twice. FALSE. He has never has been offered the job. The first time he was tied up winning the national championship and the second time around Brandon had already mentally hired Hoke and just flew down to have dinner with Les and get his opinion. Yes, Les turned both into contract extensions and raises as he should.
Lets talk about how half the people in the athletic department hate Les. At this point, I don't give a damn what they think. We need to put that feud between Les and Lloyd away and move on. Les is 61 and will not coach this program forever. Give us 5-7 years, recruit like he does at LSU, beat OSU and MSU, win a few Big Ten Titles and pick the next guy. If Jimmy isn't coming Les has to be the choice. You don't need a search firm to validate that.
Listen, I think Les is a bit strange and would be my second choice behind Jimmy. He recruits, he hires great coordinators, plays great defense, and wins a ton of football games. We need a brand name hire and he is one that will accept the job.
Let's put it this way, is Les one of the top 5 coaches in college football? I think most would agree he is. Then you have to hire him. (Let's also not forget that he will accept the job!!!)

Despite Miles being unable to beat Saban since 9-6 in Tuscaloosa, LSU fans better be very careful about hoping Miles goes to Michigan.

I'd help him pack his bags this weekend.

Why? It will have zero to do with his decision

Who do you think you'd replace him with?

Idiot. The argument isn't fans on this board influencing his decision. If you think it is, then I'd keep sharp objects out of your house.

shite I'd drive him to Ann Arbor myself.

You are the one saying lsu fans better be careful about hoping he goes to michigan. Idiot!
Whether or not we hope he goes, it will have no impact on whether he goes or not

Was the hiring of Saban and Miles a Brand name hire? LSU fans freaked when Saban was hired because he was not even on the list of possible hires and most fans new nothing about Saban. Our fans freaked on the hiring of Les because he had just lost his bowl game at OSU.
Carry on LSU fans! I like our last 2 head football coaching hires here at LSU. Les is a rare great fit for LSU with a damn strong Brand..

I'm almost to the point of hoping he goes and LSU falls to a .500 team so the morons in this fan base can have their egos deflated.

So you are more a fan of the man, not the program? Cool

If Les left I'd understand. It's his dream job. I'm also confident LSU could make a quality hire.

I understand him going home, and I don't blame him. Yet despite his conservative offense, my belief is LSU is better with him here.

Miles is Average Coach LSU at his Best!
3rd best coach we have had in any sport, beside Pat Henry and Bertman.

Miles will not be offered.

Which leaves one scratching their head about the rush to see the man leave.
