Notre Dame needs Les Miles

good enough to always have them winning 7+ games.

If Notre Dame is content with that result then hiring Miles is certainly an option....God Bless Them.

Given his age, he wouldn't be there long. They need a positive, likable coach that can turn the ship into the right direction.

He would do well in my opinion.

I can absolutely picture Les in the living rooms of Mr. and Mrs. Belinski, Glodowski, etc.

Notre Dame SHOULD try and coax Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern. Right age, right attitude and knows how to win at a school with high academic standards

As most people know, ND will never be relevant until they lower their academic standards for athletes

I thought they did so under the fat arse?

Not sure how great Miles would be at rebuilding. he's much better at taking over a top program and not quite tanking it.

Good luck recruiting in Indiana, Les

It's not hard to recruit at ND

It's a false canard and a crutch the media uses to explain poor program management.

We've given a lot of academic exceptions to Kelly, and our standards aren't that much higher than most power programs, anyway (typically, about 40 or 50 points on the SAT and one or two extra core classes in high school). We let Isaiah McKenzie in, and that kid barely qualified through the NCAA. We aren't quite FSU, but we aren't Stanford, either.

But we aren't hiring Les Miles, either. He wouldn't be the worst option in the world, but he's a bad fit culturally, and he's too old. People thinking that we'll hire Miles don't understand how our administration and Board of Trustees approach these things.
