After his tenure at LSU and his release after a dismal start to 2016 season. Should he still be considered one of the top rated coaches in collegiate football? I would think most schools would look to other coaches before granting an interview to Les Miles.

Probably more of a courtesy than anything

Has he actually gotten any offers?

I don't think Texas gave him much of a look. I don't hear about a lot of interest from Oregon either. Those are the two best jobs open. Purdue seemed to have interest and Houston has interest, but those aren't the best of jobs. Baylor might have some interest too I guess.

He probably would make sense on paper at Houston or Baylor. I don't believe he would equal the results of Herman and Briles but the programs would be stable. For Baylor at least that would probably be pretty good news.

Because if you're looking for a vacant coach, Miles has got to be at the top of your list.

He's the only available national championship coach out there. Programs are going to at least interview him. I doubt he's being seriously considered at any big programs.

Relative to the entire CFB coaching pool, he's a good coach. Perhaps not much in the x's/o's department but he's a program builder. Most programs would improve under his watch.

He had an amazing record at LSU with a national championship. He got complacent while other teams and coaches were becoming more innovative. He's still a top tier coach, but he needs to change his mentality about some things.

Go look at his resume compared to other coaches available currently. His resume pretty much outshines them all. He recruits well and he is a standup human being who had a high graduation rate and put tons of players in the NFL.

well like it are not, he gets double checks in every category but letting the oc call the game. He is a program builder a spokesman and a great recruiter and would kill it in any interview. A lot of schools would do good to hire him. Plus he's the only coach on the board with a natty. Remember now that most schools have a list and a coaching search. Unlike LSU cluster f?ck numb nuts joe.

Right up until the first series....3 and out with a false start and a timeout used.

All schools have plenty of tape on Miles screwing up with clock management and crappy play calling.... what they don't realize is he would kill the QB position almost immediately...

Miles won't get decent head coaching jog unless they are desperate....

I think the better question is "does Miles really want another job?". Of course he says that he dies but we know he's full of shite most of the time. As long as he appears to be looking for a job he'll get paid to stay home.

exactly, Purdue already said no and i don't think hes even under consideration at Baylor, which is the most desperate program in the country. he'll get an interview at houston, but i would be shocked if he gets that gig.

Several reasons. He has a good agent. He won't wreck your program. He's a household name.

Personally I think AD's are floating his name out there as a smokescreen in order to get the "other" coach they want at a better price. Houston is a great example. I'd be shocked if he got the Houston job over Kiffen.

You forgot,"and a delay of game penalty after the timeout".


You bring back the memories.
