or why is he not a hotter name?

guy runs a clean program and wins more than he loses

actually has beaten Saban and owns SEC Championship & National Championship rings

seems like an amazing fit for Arkansas, or even Tennessee

LSU screwed him imo. A really embarrassing termination. This isn't a flame btw.

Les miles will never be blown out

And to be more specific on this, the dude looks heart broken. I think he's still has tons of life left to influence the sport, but I just think the dude is really hurt.

Because he doesn’t want a job right now, and his interviews have made that clear.

I will be furious if Tennessee hires Les Miles.

I think it's his age (even though he's in good shape for a guy in his early 60s) and the fact he runs a boring offense.
I can't get over it either. I think he would be a solid, solid hire for a mid-level team in a power conference. He can recruit, he runs a clean program, he's a winner, he's a character. I could see him doing well at Missouri, Oregon State, Texas Tech. Heck, if Ole Miss just wants someone to keep the program functioning while they go through NCAA sanctions, he would be a good choice. Or if Mullen leaves State for Florida.

Is someone going to offer him more than 12 million dollars? Because that's what he gets paid for sitting at home.

Also no ones phone is ringing off the hook. We are still a month away from any actual coaching hires/interviews

That.

I don’t even like hearing him speak much less his boring arse offense. I don’t want to go from one goofass to another.

all of this, will add that he'd be far better than what most teams will end up hiring.

The LSU fans beating their chests over him not getting a job are so gullible. He's playing it perfectly. He's 63 years old, enjoy the pay check and ride off in the sunset. All you gotta do is bomb a couple interviews or make some salary demands you know that school won't touch.

He has had a change of heart on offense. He says he has educated himself on modern offensive strategies. Y'all still don't need him though.

While you are losing, you are not the total circus spiraling out of control that needs him to bring some respectability and credibility back.

Ironically, Arkansas courting Les Miles in 2012 is the first in many dominos that lead to Miles Firing and Oregerons Hiring.

fricking piglets fricked us. And alleva.

and I am not flaming Arky

Les is a legit coach who runs a clean program

he also loves his wife and won't be embarrassing the school like Lane Kiffin is almost sure to do

I think Les would be a solid 8-4 guy with an occasional 10, 11 or even 12 win season - would give Arky a shot to compete for the SEC & at a minimum; would run a solid program
