Yep.

Here's a sampling from woopig.net coaching search thread from last night and today re: the Miles rumor:

quote:

I'm turning in my fan card if we hire that douchebag. I hate that motherfricker with passion.


quote:

I started shouting at the TV, now my wife thinks I'm nuts, and now I have my dumbass cousins and brother-in-laws texting me.


quote:

This better not be fricking true.


quote:

So is this how Woopig ends?


quote:

If Jeff Long hires Les Miles, I'm giving up my season tickets and finding a new hobby.


quote:

I'd rather go ahead and hire Al Grobe, Gene Chiznit, Hootie or Ellis Johnson. Bad as i would hate it, i might jump on the Gus Bus


quote:

I seriously doubt there's any truth to it at all. If so I would be panicking instead of making jokes about it.


quote:

This is all a sick ploy by Long to make us not be super-pissed when he hires Gus. That's it.


quote:


I haven't heard a single Arkansas fan think that les would be a good hire.



quote:

This should outrage Arkansas fans more than anything Long's ever done.

Glad ya'll are satisfied with your 2nd tier SEC West status. How many top 10 finishes does Arkansas have in the last 5 years?

Wimmer you are just trying to save face. I don't know why you would want to save your face because it's stupid.

I'm sure this has been covered in this thread but we didn't want your damn coach. He is good for LSU, he would be bad for Arkansas. Every well-informed fan knows this and we were NOT excited about the possibility of this happening...as small as it was.

ETA: Has nothing to do with thinking we're too good. LSU fans are sure funny to talk about that, though.

Awesome! Of course with the illustrious coaching history of Arky (e.g., Nutt and motorcycle douchebag), I can't blame Arky fans for not wanting Miles. Y'all should really just reup John L. He's a good fit.

It's very tricky maintaining the proper level of mediocrity that is Arky football.

After watching this go down and hearing what both sides (AD/CLM) have said, I don't think it's out of the realm of reason to say that Les did his old bud a favor while helping himself to raise by giving the job search a jumpstart in the press.
Seriously, would anyone be talking about Arky's next coach after 8 mos of John L and a faltering program if a big name coach hadn't been rumored to be moving in ? Whether you like CLM or not,his name brings weight to an issue and many mid-tier coaches are paying attention to who else is being considered for the job, the big name helps the AD attract candidates and the money, although false, adds fuel to the fire.
Just sayin.

Why would any other fanbase not want Les Miles as their head coach? He has had unparalleled success at LSU. Could he reproduce that success elsewhere? Maybe not to the level he has, but I think the Miles formula is a winning one wherever he may go.

if Les Miles had the record he has at any school other than LSU...y'alls panties would be moist at the thought of him coaching your team.

Only thing worse than hiring Les Miles must be knowing that he played you to get more $ and job security so he can beat your asses for untold years to come.

So basically Arkansas fans are delusional and don't want a great headcoach?
