re: The catch-22 that is being Les Miles

I think Miles is a great recruiter, but that is only one phase of the coaching job. I think he is a great family man, a quality person, a great motivator and a pretty good disciplinarian. He makes some good hiring decisions and some bad ones and sometimes, but not often, he is a fair game day manager. He also has developed some talent in kids that were highly self motivated and enjoyed competing for a job, but some of his recruits have not improved and some have regressed. That is the truth.

What would you suggest, that he punt on recruiting and just ride out the next 8 losing seasons with his extended contract? At least he is trying. You can't please all the people all the time.
