re: 8 years with Les.....what are your thoughts....

1). Has left, in my opinion, 3 BCS titles on the table due directly to his coaching/misuse of player talents

2). The aforementioned asst coaching and game management gaffes

3). Excellent recruiter

4). Players coach

5). Extremely arrogant coaching style

6). Overall winning program

7). Average hire that has turned out to be above average based on results to date

8). After 8 years has program viewed outside the Tiger fandom as perhaps 4th or 5th best in the conference.

9). Has guided the program to the pinnacle of the sport in 1 of 8 seasons.


Overall positive but will always be thought of as underachieving given player talent brought in.
