Players want to play for him.
Media loves him.
Yes he's quirky but he's a DAMN STRONG football coach

Is this a veiled way of saying LSU's time has passed and we need to go after Jimbo Fisher?

I'll agree that he's like Bowden in one particular way

Match-Up Football

Bowden just recruited the biggest, fastest kids and just beat his opponents on pure athleticism...as a strategic, decisive coach, he wasn't that great

Miles is much the same - and he's definitely not much of a gameday coach, but he'll win in spite of himself, beating our opponents with pure speed and strength.

Bowden is most remembered for having FSU a top 5 team for like 25 yrs and he won 2 NCs. Les doesn't approach that longevity or consistency.

Mack Brown or Phil Fulmer are better comparisons.

Players will want to stop playing for him if he loses this week. I know this because i read the rant.

Miles is a good coach and good person, but he is nowhere close to being as good as Bobby Bowden as a coach or person. Get a grip!! There is no comparison, and even mentioning them in the same sentence is an insult to BB. Meanwhile, the house that BB built is #2 in the nation (should be #1) after crushing two top 10 teams Clemson and Miami. LSU has lost to 1 top 10 team and 1 unranked team.
