re: Arkansas fans were really excited about the possibility of Les Miles as HC

Im not pissed, I stopped getting that way on message boards a long way back.

Look, whatever yall say about Miles Im certain Ive heard worse from LSU fans. I had one of my idiot friends telling me yesterday that hes not gonna win another SEC title. These are the same people that wanted him gone after the second game in 05, saying he was never going to amount to anything over here. All but stopping short of wishing we lose to be proven they were right.

And not to piss you off, but the reason why people dont like him is because he plays down to the likes of you year in and out.

Ok, you sound reasonable, not the typical rantard like the others who say they are leaving this thread.

Les works for LSU, works just fine, plenty of other coaches would work for LSU, just like there are other coaches who would suck and you have the 90s LSU.

Les would be OK at Arkansas, similar to how Nutt was, not Crowe/Ford bad but not Broyles/Hotz/Hatfield/Petrino good.

There are several programs across the country where Les could go and be successful just as there are several programs where he could go and fail, Arkansas fans feel as he would fail here. It has nothing to do with him being a good coach or not.

It is all about the fit, he isn't a good fit here.
