re: What is les saying in interviews that is causing teams to move on?

He would take a pay cut if he accepted any of those jobs. But he has to at least keep up the facade he is looking as a term of the buy out.

You're either very ill informed or just out and out lying.

Why does that have to be explained 20 times a day.

Because it's not true.

I understand that there is a clear want to want and certainly we need to want to want that.

Les is probably the most incompetent coaching prospect in the country and everybody knows it except for his rant admirers. Nobody will touch Les with a ten-foot pole. Of course, his admirers claim that's not Les' problem. Instead, they say that Les is too old, which is a very lame excuse when you consider the fact that Arizona State just hired Herm Edwards, who is not only the same age as Les, but who also has been out of the game for years and who also never coached college football in his life.

The irony of this post is mind numbing. UT and Arkansas are fumbling around in the bargain bin and according to the self proclaimed non biased LSU fan here no one want a NC winning coach cause he suck durrrrr.

Here's the reality....

Les won a ton of games here. In the years after the National Championship, he was winning a bunch of games while playing "Hide the QB".

Les Miles - we can say what we want about how goofy he comes across, and the pre-historic offense he had, all of the clock-management blunders....

But make no mistake about it, he constructed, and lead one of the most dominant, accomplished teams in the history of college football -

The 2011 LSU Tigers. #2 Nationally. Sec Champs. Defeated the National Champs on the road, The Pac-12 and Rose Bowl Champion Oregeon Ducks, defeated the Big East and Orange Bowl winning West Virginia, 2 other Top 10 teams that year.

Les beat National Championship winning coaches like Nick Saban (3 times), Urban Meyer (2-3 times), Bob Stoops, Jim Tressel, Phil Fullmer, Gene Chizik, etc etc etc

7 - 10 wins seasons.

9 Top 10 recruiting classes.

I'm not sitting here trying to prop up Les Miles. He has his faults. ANd he's 64, but ....

There isn't an available coach out there with nearly this many skins on the wall. His resume is fantastic.

Had a very reliable source with Tennessee connections tell me that Fulmer and crew were very impressed with Les's interview until he farted really loud 3/4 of the way through the interview. Phil doesn't think Les has the stomach for the SEC anymore

You really are a clown.

How did we win a MNC?

How did we get back 5 years later?

Get back in your clown car and frick the hell out of here.

He is just not that good of a coach. That is all. He is also old. He is not wowing anyone of his so called plans. So there is your answer.

---

Les has stated he wants to be where they are committed to winning championships. He's probably asking for too much money from some of these schools. I think some schools would want him, just can't promise him money for coaches or any upgrades to facilities he may deem necessary to win championships.

So you get to a point where both parties say no thanks.

If Les was just desperate for a job, he'd take one. I have no doubt about that, just wouldn't be at the 4 mil he was making here.


And the Tenn job is the only one we've heard his name for that I believe he was actually serious about.

I'm "I'm 64" is the main thing. If you're on who thinks he really wants to stay home I sure he could follow it up with something like "I would like 5 million per year with a buyout".
