Its a symptom of the times, not the coach. Same could be said about Bama players in recent years.

Don't romanticize Les Miles.

BIG CAT DRILL

Separate the men from the boys. I saw a lot of players on defense who just do not like contact and mixing it up.

Les pissed away Fournette’s career.

Which team had this at Kansas?
His 3-9 team or his 0-9 team?

He also had Saban’s players for the first 3 years.

For perspective Miles has a full cupboard, Kelly had a half empty cupboard that became even less.

I’m not saying that players being arrested or other trouble was common place under Miles, but it felt like it at times. You’re an Idiot.

wut??? Those were some of the most undisciplined teams I've ever watched. Rode around campus on their scooters, got arrested and suspended like crazy.... did you give this even 4 seconds of thought before smashing post?

What's next? Posts about how Coach O ran tight practices??

Even IF Kelly is not the answer, firing les miles was a good idea.

We’d have never won the Fiesta Bowl, had 2019, and we’d be boring as ever. Les could have stayed forever had he just chosen to fix the offense and gave everyone the middle finger:

A major cause of this is not having developed his culture with guys that are in their 3rd or 4th year with him. He hasn't even hit the 2 year mark yet. Give it time to pan out. His ND teams were well disciplined once he got them established.

They were also tough as shite and weren't scared to hit.

Miles was a buffoon in some aspects of coaching for sure but his teams were tough, and played mean.

Unfortunately I don't think it's as much on the coaches as we want to say. The players now more than ever are being wined and dined and softened up.

Even the mighty Nick Saban's teams have looked softer and have left of that killer instinct, head hunting style player

What? The lack of character of Les' late career teams lead to his firing. Darius Guice and Drake Davis come to mind first.

Les made some really bad coordinator decisions as well and then he hamstrung the offense for 7 years with his conservative philosophy.

it's more about the kids than the coaches. They are getting money. Some make more than the coaches.

Les is also a shitty human being so don't think this makes a good argument.
