Les Miles Reveals How Many Coaching Jobs He's Been Offered

Say what you will about Les, but he’s brutally honest! I don’t buy the comments about him not seeking employment because LSU is paying him. He’s been raking in 4-5 million per year for over a decade! He’s set! Coaches( especially coaches with a NC), are egomaniacs, and want to prove that they are the best at what they do. So to admit that no one wants him has to be a very humbling and humiliating experience for Miles. I feel for him, as one day everyone of us reaches a point in life where we’re past our prime.The difference is we don’t have to admit it on tv or radio. I hope Les does get what he’s looking for. If not, he did a lot for the Tigers and I appreciate his efforts! Thanks for Always being a Tiger, Coach!

Maybe I'm a softy, but I can't help but feel bad for the guy. Wanted him gone since Ole Miss '09 but hate to see him like this. Love ya Les, you stubborn, clock-illiterate bastard you.

IMHO Les doomed his chances when he showed his Granite-like head by not adapting his offense. THAT is the reason ADs have shyed away. It sucks because he is a good coach and great developer of young men.

If Les were half the coach that the revisionists claim him to be, he would have had a job before the 2017 season. Richt landed a Miami, and turned them into a contender. I was and am still amazed how much crap LSU got for letting go of Legendary Les as compared to what UGA got for letting a quality coach light Richt go.

No doubt Les Miles is a great guy, but what did everyone expect after what occurred here at LSU?

You can certainly ask how hard he is really trying to land one of these jobs. Les is smart enough to say the right things like "I am interested in coaching again", as to say he is not looking for another job might be a breach of contract with LSU to mitigate his contract situation with them. . Looking for a job and actually trying to get the job or an offer is two completely different things. So it may not be as much that schools aren't interested in him in coaching, as much as that he is going through the motions and saying all the correct things but in the end not trying extremely hard to land these jobs by subtly demanding too much money or doing other things that would tend to make schools look another way while Les is meeting the requirements of his contract at LSU to look for another coaching job.

LM should have been released after the stunt he pulled in the 2011 season championship game.

If he had been offered one and turned it down he would have probably breached his contract with LSU to be looking for a new coaching job and they could likely get out of paying out all or at least some of the rest of his contract. . His contract requires him to look for a job in good faith while LSU is continuing to pay him. That is what he is doing.

This speaks volumes given the shear number of head coaching vacancies there are this year.

Damn not even one.... Thats rough

Yet we were all idiots when we wanted him gone 5 years ago

I love the man, but despise the coach. I hate that he's done this to himself professionally...but then again, he's set financially anyway. He has become a cautionary tale of not knowing the difference between determination and flat-out bull-headedness.

Waiting for Saban to retire and win an elusive second natty.

I'm flabbergasted that the Oregon State Beavers raised their nose to Coach Miles. I would imagine an NC winning coach would be more than adequate for the 1-11 Beavers?

Hire Les to be GM of Football.

I so want to play poker with Joe Alleva

A coherent and honest response from Les.

Ha ha, that is because he is not s good coach.

But every talkinghead "expert" said that every school that's not bama, Ohio st and Michigan would love to have him....????

Les miles is still a classy guy. I just don't know if he will be coaching any major D1 schools again.
