re: Miles Comparison

Well, for the record, other than Saban, none of these guys are ever mentioned for other jobs often, with the exception of N.D. (Meyer's self confessed dream job). Let's take a look:

Brown --- not connected to other jobs. Quite clear that he is going to retire at UT, having already named a successor.

Miles --- connected briefly to the UW job last year. It made no sense and was likely false. Other than UM, there are very few colleges that can afford him. They'd have to pony up almost $4 mil.

Carroll --- never connected to another college job, past as NFL coach gets him mentioned there and has gotten him interviews in the past.

Saban --- debacles at LSU-Miami and Miami-Ala have him connected with every job, even H.S. jobs. Seriously, no true connections to college jobs since he took the UA job. He is mentioned in connection with ND but that is probably because of his past and what ND can pay and not yet reflective of his interest.

Meyer --- Connected with N.D., his self-confessed dream job, no mentions for NFL or other college jobs. Probably never will be mentioned for the NFL after the Spurrier mess in Washington.

Stoops --- for some reason he is mentioned for other jobs the most --- Dallas Cowboys a few years back, N.D. and a few others --- may have something to do with the small media market in Norman. Otherwise, with his salary and success it makes no sense.

Other coaches of note with no recent mentions for other jobs

Joe Paterno --- no mentions in 20+ years
Bobby Bowden --- no mentions in 20+ years
Jim Tressel --- none I can remember since OU
Bill Belichek --- maybe that call last week cost him new jobs

Does that mean that these men (at least, in their prime, as to Bowden) couldn't coach?

I honestly can't say what my "breaking point" would be until I get there, and I'm nowhere near there yet.

Why don't you wait to see what the Tigers do in their last 3 games (OM, ARK and the bowl game) before declaring this year another failure?

They have no patience, regardless of the circumstances, and refuse the reasonable request to give Les Miles the time he deserves to show that he can return LSU to the kind of form that won the SEC and National championships of 2007.

Well, are you at the breaking point yet? Please explain kgcTigerfan (and others in this thread) how to defend your boy Miles now?

Miles is (1) an idiot as evidenced by this weekend; (2) in the process of ruining a once elite program; (3) a liar; and (4) a dead man walking from a coaching perspective. Luck and personnel talent propelled the man for the better part of three years in one form or another. He has shown an inability to develope talent now and complete incomptence.

You are a complete moron if you still attempt to defend the man.

I recognize he is fire proof for the time being and that truly saddens me. The only thing we can do is hope he has the balls to switch OCs and pray that he hires an OC that has a clue in the world as to what is going on. At that point, Miles needs to get out of the way and let men who are capable run the program.

The delta cockroach has crawled back from self-imposed hiding after LSU beat Auburn. Guess it was just a matter of time. All we needed was just one loss or weak performance to crawl out in the open when his baseless musings posed as fact were thrown back out again. Of course he is not alone as there are a few of his buddies on here who join him in attempts to lure others to their miserable mindset that must undoubtedly be a joy to be around.

Where are you Tigerwoody? What are you true feelings now? I am not trying to flame, I would really like to know. You may still support the man, the legend Les Miles. Tell me why.

I have a confession to make. I started this thread last week and received a ton of flack over it. I compared Zook to Miles. Ron Zook, I herein apologize for such a comparison.

As to all whom bashed me without hesitation, please show your face and tell me your honest feelings about Miles now. I am not trying to say I told you so, I really want to know your honest reaction and feelins. Thanks
