Miles to Colorado would be dramatic conclusion..

i am a fan of Les Miles, as a fan I realize that anytime someone says "I am not a fan" and then follow that up with "but his winning record speaks for itself" or something along those lines, they are in fact a fan as well but want to try to prove their credibility.

That they are not beyond bashing Miles like the rest of the fan base but still thinks he has a good record.

Its alot easier to bash the man than it is to praise him. But I praise him for running a clean program. You can't win the national title every year, it's just not possible. But he has won a National Title and kept us in contention for an SEC title most years.

People can tell you that they "are upset because of how we lost" but it wouldnt matter if we lost by 1 point and we played our hearts out or not. People would still be down on him.

This fan bases memory of Nick Saban is all strawberries and cream. Yes, he brought us back to a level of recognition, but he also dropped several winnable games in 2002 and 2004 and then bolted for the Dolphins. I dont have a problem with him leaving for the NFL, who wouldnt but to call him the greatest coach ever is ridiculous.

Les Miles will go down as the greatest LSU coach in history. He will run a clean program and keep us in contention just about every year he is here. He will make boneheaded mistakes but who wont. He will play players that may not be right and he will LOSE games. But so will Saban where ever he is. So will Jimbo Fisher, Urban Meyer, Bobby Petrino, Bo Pelini, Will Muschamp, Jim Tressel, etc....

At the end of his career most LSU fans will look at it and say wow those 2008 and 2009 seasons may have been bad but goodness we have had a great 20 years under this man.

Leaving for about a $2 million dollar a year pay cut ain't his style so no to colorado

cool, prove it

I do believe there was a lot of truth to Les' interest in Michigan, but I think the fact that we were playing for the BCS championship had more to do with him staying. He wouldn't do that to his players.

That may describe the "abuse"

But it also describes a lot of other things about the MIles era

the 2nd winniest coach in LSU football.

3rd winningest (behind Charlie Mac and Bernie Moore) in terms of overall wins. 1st in winning percentage.

he is not going to CU, MAYBE he goes home, but not to bolder

See my posts in the other thread about CU/Miles...

Another LSU official said Colorado has not contacted Miles, and his Dallas-based agent, George Bass, didn't return phone calls.

This is all you need to read in that article. You should read something into the fact that his agent didn't return calls to the Denver Post. All he would have had to say is "I have had no conversations with anyone at Colorado."

I can't believe Les and his family are still here. As bad as LSU has been to his career and as poorly paid as he has been he should have no appreciation for LSU at all.

No excuse for how poorly Les has been treated by LSU. His career has been devastated here. I mean his contract is so poor he only has 4 years left at a guaranteed 3.8 million a year. Who the hell would want to stay when the university you work for has such a lack of appreciation like that?
