Just spoke with a colleague yesterday. He is not usually very nice, but he stopped me in the halls to praise Les Miles.

He spoke about him being a great coach
He spoke about him being a great recruiter
He spoke about him being a great man

Many Texans wish they had Les as a coach for their school. Good to know that even Texans know that Les is the "real deal"

Most CFB fans in Texas I know think he's an idiot.

That's a major stretch. Your taking 1 person's anecdotal evidence and you are generalizing it to a bunch of Texans.

Being stationed on board a floating city, I know a ton of Michigan fans and they wish they can get any coach from the SEC with Les being a favorite. It's sad that the biggest Les Miles haters are LSU fans.

Great CEO Coach. Pull in the wrong coordinators and the team will fall apart. Look at 2008 with the Co-DC fiasco. And 2009 and 2010 with the OC.

No argument there. The problem has been getting the talented recruits to reach their potential.

Being a great man isn't the same thing as being a great coach. Saban isn't the nicest of coaches, but he is considered one of the best.

I live in the state of California and most people that I talk to have great respect for Les Miles.

Most folks in Houston that i come into contact with must not have got this message. Mention Les's name and you usually get laughs and guffaws.

I've had experiences with fans outside of LSU and the SEC and they see him and either a buffoon or misunderstood. However, I am not going to use terms such as "many" to define these people as it is not many in the grand scheme of things but only a handful.

It's safe to say that Sooners hate Miles - because he made his bones beating them. So by extension it makes sense that many Texas fans like him.

I've got lots of Oklahoma fans on my wife's side of the family. They all loathe Miles; said he was an awful hire and predicted he would fall on his face at LSU. They're full of hate.
