In defense of Miles, we did win a NC the next year and the offense was the most imaginative (while still constrained by Jimbo's conservatism) offense in Les's career at LSU.

Monken didn't really start blooming until he was under Gundy again, anyway.


Jimbo was at FSU and the Wizard was the OC in 2007. Todd Monken left for the Jags when he was not given the OC job for the 2007 season at LSU.

And Crowton was using a huge chunk of that playbook within that philosophy. Does nobody remember the years of "the secret playbook"?

I assume he loves being a NFL coordinator because I cannot imagine no college team hasn’t tried to throw the bank at him yet. or he thinks there is an NFL HC job in his future.

He actually had UGA performing like UGA should.

Anyone who is generally a content employee has this said about them. Head coaches make a lot more than most coordinators, and these guys are really competitive.

Also, he is currently interviewing so you'd think he wouldn't do that if he weren't interested.

They have Lamar, and MVP winner, and probably again this year. The Saints have Derek Carr. Enough said.

Todd Monken wasn’t all that popular while at LSU

He blossomed later in his career

He did not enjoy all of the non-football stuff that went with being a college head coach.

In the NFL, he won't have to do the booster club circuit and recruit.
