If I remember correctly, their reactions were very similar to those of this board. A vast majority were actually happy he was leaving. My question is simple. Is that accurate? Also, am I wrong for thinking that Gundy has turned Okie Lt into a much better program than what Les managed?


FWIW... I don't think we should fire Les. I just won't shite my pants like a little girl if he decides to graze on other pastures.

Les was the Gerry Dinardo of Okie State. He got no credit for what he built and the next guy came in and took it to the next level.

Okie State is a step below LSU

He came here because it was a better opportunity and now he's at one of the Top Football Programs in the country.

He's won a NC and played in another

What exactly has Gundy done?

Really? Many people think he should have played LSU in the BCSNCG last year.

I'm not gonna call you names but how do you determine a majority? Are you going door to door with a polling service?

FYI I remembered a mixed reaction. Hurt feelings etc. LSU was a step up...OSU fans knew their place.

Made OK State more successful than at any point in their history?

BTW...just about all Arkansas fans would shite themselves in anger if Les becomes their next HC. They would pleasure themselves silly if Gundy goes to Fayetteville.

Miles record at OSU was almost identical to Jimmy Johnson. Jones followed Johnson and had some good success for a while. Gundy is doing the same thing. OSU is a damn hard place to win when you have OU staring over your shoulder all the time.

Give the man credit. He's a good coach. He won I believe their first Big 12 title. They also finished #3 last year. Would have played in the NC game if not for that awful Thurs night loss.

He also has one of the best post game PCs of all time. He's a man. He's 40.

He is reaping a program that Miles built up....yet still hasn't won a title

Isn't that how this works Trout??

No matter how u slice it LSU Program > Okie St Program.

Les was a 7-5 coach getting blown out by Ohio State in his bowl games.

He comes to LSU with vastly better talent and remains a mediocre coach.

spot on. Saban doesn't have the local interest in the program to clean up in-state recruiting without Dinardo's "Bring Back the Magic".

Their fans do not dislike Miles because he left for LSU, it was how he left that upsets them.

You shouldn't call people names, your mom taught you well. There was this thing called the Internet back then and I recall reading their message boards. While the pool of data undoubtedly had some mental midgets it was still a great gauge for the fan base.(similar to TD)

I simply asked if I was correct about my recollection of the event. I could have sworn many were relieved he left.


Also, spoke with a couple Arky fans and they are scared shitless of ending up with Les, but this is all opinions. I was just trying to bring some reason here.

What did I say incorrectly?

You people act like miles was winning titles at okie state.

He beat Oklahoma. Big fricking deal.

A lot of people beat oklahoma

Curly Hallman beat Florida State.

Good thing it's not gonna happen then..right? Coming from a program that hired Nutt and John L, this is hilarious as shite.
