Honestly, how long does former LSU coach Miles have at Kansas? AD Long as well

Miles admitted after Week 1’s 24-17 victory over Indiana State that Stanley had been put in difficult situations at least twice when “we had the wristband right but we didn’t give him the calls properly.”
Stanley didn’t expand on what Miles meant by that, but he did express frustration with that occurring.
“Just at the end of the day, we’ve got to be better at communicating on stuff like that,” Stanley said. “That shouldn’t happen one time, let alone one or two or three.”
Though Miles predicted afterward cleaning up that area would be an “easy fix,” similar difficulties seemed to bleed over to Week 2.
It’s resulted in some ugly numbers thus far. KU’s offense, for example, ranks 127th out of 130 FBS teams in ESPN’s SP+, which measures a team’s schedule- and pace-adjusted efficiency.
Installation seems to have played a role in the struggles. When asked Monday, Miles said he believed the factor holding his offense back most was “the newness of the coaches. The newness of what we call it. Getting comfortable with quality execution. It takes some time.”
How does it get fixed? Miles says it starts in practice.
“I think at times we do have that (miscommunication),” Miles said, “and what you do is you make sure that every day that they’re in headset — and I’m talking about the assistant coaches — you signal the plays and you signal the field and you get it from one coach who’s got the script, and the other coaches act as if they were on the sideline on Saturday.”
Here’s how the play-calling works now, according to Miles: Offensive coordinator Les Koenning gives the play from the booth, while also taking suggestions from both Miles and other assistants on the headsets. Then, coaches relay that information to the players on the field via hand signals.
The process, it appears, has yet to smooth itself out through the first two weeks.
“I think we’re not put together at this point, but I feel like we’re very close to being a quality offense,” Miles said. “It’s just ... we gotta stay the course.”

How is this LSU related?

Did anyone expect Les to change his offense and learn clock management in his old age?

Reminds me of Tennessee game where T-Bob saved their asses when they couldn't get plays on the field. Notice how many people are involved in calling a single play.

Poor KU. His terminology makes my skin crawl reliving those moments while reading this.

I really don’t give a wet shite.

He has no talent there. He won’t win more than 4 games this year, but he will establish a culture for the team to be competitive in the Big 12.
He’s done this before at OK State.

Les has never been detailed oriented. It goes beyond his scheme.

Pretty damned stupid question...two games into the season and you assholes are already trying to get the man fired ! Hopefully the people at KU have a little more sense as well as patience...this program was down the tubes when Les took it over and he nor any other coach (including Nicky Satan) is going to turn it around overnight.

Well Kansas is bad and will probably always be bad, so Les can stay as long as he wants. They won't get a better coach at Kansas, and if they do, for one or two seasons as a stepping stone.
I am still amazed at all the CLM hate on this board.

He may not come back for year 2, but if he does, that’s it. He’s not going to hang around there long.

Good lord... Get over it... Miles no longer coaches here.
I love me some Les Miles and always will.. With that being said, its time for the man to move on to something else. Which is easier said than done for a lot of folks. His competitive spirit is still there but his mind cant keep up with it.. Truthfully, in life we all go through this just not necessarily in the public eye for everyone to see.

Can you people just go away?
He;'s two games into a rebuild of a total dumpster fire. It's not going to look good right now.

Probably a while. KU doesn't care about football. Les will get 2-3 years

Good Luck Coach Miles. Hang in there. Tough going when you're trying to turn a program around from a history of loss.

This.
The dude had several seasons at LSU to change. Said he would. Didn't. Led to his firing from a Top 10 school.
Why the heck would he change at Kansas if he wouldn't change at LSU? lol
