Reporter asks Miles about his new gig: Les Miles : "when I lean into the mic, I certainly have a want to commentate with great enthusiasm and at the end of each contest, I think the fans will like the outcome"

Guess that means LSU will end up paying out his entire owed contract since he didn't get hired as a head coach then, correct?

Miles statement," The want of broadcast to the satellites and back to TV sets across the nation and this country has me urgently working on game observation perpectives."

This will be ... interesting. Miles certainly has experience on TV - he isn't the smooth presenter others might be but he's always entertaining.

But everyone assured me he would be snatched up as a head coach immediately after being fired by LSU. I'm so perplexed.

Maybe fox sports can incorporate a segment called "Les top 5 Clapping moments" each week.

Put him in the booth with Lou Holtz and let them call the Special Olympics.

Just in time for Fox to flush ESPN's SJW asses down the ratings tubes.

I think Les is going to become a hot commodity as an announcer, and will surprise a lot of people. He's an old-school, hardnosed football guy, with a sense of humor and can make fun of himself. He's going to own a lot of people (like he did the former Bama QB when they interviewed him).

I love it. I can hold on to the good memories I have of him as a great leader of our football program and its players without it feeling tainted seeing him coach elsewhere. There 100% needed to be a change and he needed to go, but that doesnt mean it wouldnt have been extremely awkward seeing him wear someone elses colors.

He might be more cogent. The malaprops could have been due to him not wanting to reveal anything to the opponent. And if he ends up sounding like he did when talking to reporters, it'll be grand entertainment. Fans will have funny catchphrases for Monday.

Does Fox Sports supply the translator or does Les bring his own?

This will last no more than one season, and Les will be as bad at it as he was letting his offensive coordinators coach.

I was pictured his future replacing Lou Holtz. Similar notoriety and quirkiness.
