Minn is a horrible mess in the aftermath of the gang rape situation. Whether Les can win or not he will get this program on the right path.

i agree. he would be good for minesota, if he does not do anything with cam cameron it would be a good fit for him. there plenty other schools a good fit, kiffin is down the same route, he started big now he going to small school. miles went big school now he targeting small school, hope he finds something that fits for him and succeeds. doubt he ever is a head coach any where to ever go against lsu in near future

If he gets the job it will expose him for the fraud he was. He won on LSU's ability to recruit top notch athletes-most from LA and TX. He will get NONE of those recruits to join him in Minnesota. Additionally, I dare say MN does not have top notch talent alone to compete in their conference and to cover up for Miles's X AND O shortcomings. A team like MN needs a coach that can outscheme as they won't be able to beat anyone on superior talent- the latter of which made Les Miles and future generations of his family very wealthy.

Great spot for Les. They won't expect championships and they don't have to play Bama.

I hope Coach Les Miles does well... I also hope that much in the same way that Orgeron failed at Ole Miss by having too much influence in other areas of the team that Les Miles would not have so much of an influence on the offense and allow his coordinators to do their jobs and that's call plays without him overriding play calls

glad to see him going to the Big 10. One of the few conferences where Miles' offensive philosophy is actually somewhat normal and standard. Wish him the best

Had the clock not run out against Auburn, we would STILL be stuck with Les Miles. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dang, Les wish he would have taken the Michigan job when it became available in 2007 and 2014.

He would already have been run out of Michigan by now. Meyer would have been his Big10 Saban...
