He says the same thing every week. When's the last time he said something noteworthy?

Each week it goes something like:

Caller: What do you think of (random player)?

Miles: You know, he's a quality football player, loves to play the game, and we look forward to having (random player) in our program.

If he ever gets a tough question, he avoids it, and they move on to the next one.

I haven't lived in LA for 6+ years and listened to this, does Mr. X still call in with a tough question each week?

When the program gets in a real bind, the big wigs will allow the good callers to start getting through.

He gets paid to do it like every other major college head coach.
The difference is that he gets paid more because he forces you to listen.

You really didn't know? Coaches radio shows (and t.v. shows if they still have those - I know they used to) are part of the compensation package of the coaches (as a couple of people have said above) and I'm pretty sure are included in their contract.

Seems like I remember hearing some funny stories about coaches (I think it was Bear Bryant or one of his assistants at TAMU) getting a bit bored with a tv coaches show and knocking figures on the desk around and onto the floor in the guise of demonstrating a play.

I agree.. Jim knows what calls every coming in and Les is a FRICKING COWARD,,, But he will NEVER say anything he doesn't want YOU to hear.

Coaches never say anything worth listening to. I wish the college football shows on XM91 would quit interviewing so many.

You just figuring this out? This goes for every coach's show for the last 20 years at least. They say nothing.

Why anyone would call/attend/care about that show is beyond me.

The point is that there is no point.

I think the callers and the people who stand up to ask questions is some what staged.
