re: The catch-22 that is being Les Miles

Recruit a ridiculously high caliber of athletes then get killed for not turning that talent into 13-0 teams. Its as if the recruiting actually goes against him.

No one will care, but I actually like the book Catch-22. This isn't a Catch-22. A Catch-22 is a situation where a person cannot escape a problem.

For instance, in the book the only way an air force pilot can be grounded is if he's crazy. Any pilot requesting a psych evaluation hoping to be found not sane enough to fly, and thereby escape dangerous missions, would thereby demonstrate his sanity because anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy. Therefore, there is no escape.

Here it looks like Les just needs to win.

I know, I know, tl;dr
