Dude, do your homework on Miles before you rip him. Coaches are not hired based solely on their record. If that were the case, Steve Spurrier would not have been hired at Florida, Nick Saban would not have been hired by LSU. Les Miles was hired for the exact same reasons those coaches were hired, because he did something no one else could do at the schools their were hired from! His 4 year period at Ok St was the best four years that program had ever seen. That is why he was hired!

You underestimate Miles here. He is very savvy at using the media to his advantage. Even if he doesn't talk smoothly in complete sentences, he comes across very likable and has a way of answering questions without giving anything away. See also pre-SECCG press conference "Have a great day!"

Much better at that than Urban "stick in the mud" meyer.

Much like most of the Gaytor fans in Florida, you have still not gotten over the departure of the Ol' Ball Coach.

You had such a great post going and then you had to drop the idiot thing. and the Ar-Kansas thing.

I don't think our coach has lost to Ole Miss yet.

Nice back-handed encouragement. I'm sure the LSU fans could do without your condescending support.

I would like to apologize on the behalf of this dumbass who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

But it would be awesome to watch that poor little puppy of theirs meet Mike... and permanently traumatize the thing.

Mike hates dogs. He smells them, then he gets in hunting mode - crouches, stalkes forward, and entertains murderous thoughts...

He hates dogs so much that the vet staff puts up signs telling visitors not to bring dogs - Mike might lose his mind and try to jump thru the fence.
