or is his agent simply floating his name out there to satisfy the whole seeking employment clause of the buy out? I mean it is a little odd he didn't make the cut of finalists for the UH job, but Major did.

Older coach
Even though he had success here it's not something that can be replicated at most schools.

I don't think that putting his name up for every opening is necessary I think he really wants a job

Les brings little to the table other than name recognition.
I think he wants to coach again. He and Choctaw/Beefence are getting a rude awakening.

So this is a thing? Someone asked about it earlier and I told him he was talking out of his arse

Not a good year to be on the market for the lack of open positions. I always thought he'd be a great fit at UH, but didn't (and still don't) see the UH/Kiffin mutual interest developing. I thought they'd get fed up w/ the "stepping stone" thing, but I guess not.
Here's a thought: if no college HC jobs materialize for him, what about moving up and taking a role in the NFL, say with Dallas? Him and Jerry go back a ways, and I honestly could see a role for him involving OL/TE/Running Game Coordinator or something.

Miles is a good guy and he can recruit. Parents trust him.
Some smaller school will take him eventually.
Some schools realize they will never compete for the Crystal football.

He is an incompetent clown who the game has passed by.
The only program that would hire him is a bottom feeder looking for a big PR swoon hoping that his name can bring in some better players.

Makes you wonder why LSU kept him so long. Mark Richt got a job immediately. Spurrier did. Petrino got another job. All these coaches in the SEC got other jobs after being fired or what have you. But not Leslie.... no surprise to me, he won on TALENT here at LSU
Posted on 12/8/16 at 10:08 am to BilJ
Yes, he needs to at least be looking for work. I think he will be happy with the buyout unless a big time school wants to give him a shot.

The whole country is aware of how much talent LSU has had during Miles tenure as head coach. The whole country is also aware that LSU's offense under Miles under performed. Offense sells tickets and creates a buzz. Defense wins championships.
BUT Houston and USF are not in "championship" mode they are in program building mode. Defense and running off tackle is not going to sell tickets in either location or excite the fan base.
Is Les Miles really any different than Houston Nutt? Would Houston Nutt have accomplished just as much at LSU as Miles?
Great programs have great players and great coaches. One without the other will not lead to success long term.

I brought this up yesterday on the USF thread and got a way more down votes than up votes. Les, for all of his faults, is very smart and is very good at projecting a public personality that is different than his private one. This is the perfect situation for that. Les needs to act like he's searching for a job in public while privately sitting back and collecting checks.

He's not going to get a job.
I said it the minute we fired him and everybody was all "lol are you retarded, best winning pct in lsu history,etc"

A couple UH alumni I talked to were pretty excited about possibly getting Les Miles. It is interesting though that Lane Kiffin could get chosen over Les Miles.

The out-of-touch nature of the national media is on full display here.
Last November we were told, repeatedly, that Les Miles was the perfect coach for us and that we were fools to fire him. We were unfair and heartless.
And now, we see one of the "biggest names" in college football, Les Miles, having trouble finding a job, even at lesser programs.
The message? Les Miles is PERFECT for LSU, but no one else, because LSU is as dumb and foolish as Les is. The rest of the country views us as clowns.
This season, we were heartless again (think Mark May) to search for a coach behind Ed Orgeron's back. No one else would have Ed Orgeron, but for LSU... he's perfect. Because he fits the narrative of what the national media wants us to be. Goofy bayou people.
The rest of the country is much more comfortable with us in our little hole, entertaining them, but causing little trouble or threat. That's why we dropped 11 spots after losing to Bama 10-0. That's why you should pay no mind to what they have to say about us at LSU.
LSU has a serious image problem that no one seems willing to address or work on. LSU fans should wake up about this.

Les doesn't want to coach for a living when he can retire for a living. He will never coach again.

Why do you care? Does it make you feel better about the O hiring knowing that Les hasn't found a job?
Posted on 12/8/16 at 3:47 pm to BilJ
No one could ever convince me that Les wasn't trying to get fired.
