How do you REALLY believe Miles would be as AD? Just a question. Would he control the football program as much as he did the O when he was coach? Would he be as good at running the athletic dept. as he was at recruiting? How would it be to hire the same man as AD after he was fired as HC?

Where do you people come from?

You do understand than an AD isn’t just a football position right?

I actually think he'd be a great AD. He made some solid hires, some not so great ones too, but more better ones than bad ones when he was the HC.


I do think he genuinely loves this school and BR. I understand it would be for all athletics at the school which goes back to my last statement.

My first guess at the reservations of this would be "will he mess with the football team like he did with the offense when he was the coach?"


I don't think he would. It's probably a long shot anyway but I'd be on board with him as an AD.

Not a fan. His time has come.

Let's get some smart individuals to run this program.

Let’s see, he was fired because he hired his buddies and wouldn’t fire them when they proved a liability.

Yeah, Les would make a great AD.

Love him as a person. However, I think he is too nice and too loyal to make necessary changes when they are needed. I think his problem with coaching is he is just old school and loves that style of football. He did not change with the times. I just don't see him recognizing when something needed to be changed and actually pull the trigger. Also, who's to say he wont be trying to meddle with the coaches and how they coach. Now, i'd love to have him here as recruiting coordinator!

Just hire Miles back as HC, then O's buyout is no longer an issue since we won't be also paying Miles not to coach either. Maybe Saban will win another NC and can retire, then Miles would become the top recruiter in the SEC and we have dominant enough players to run toss dives down the throats of every defense in the SEC at will.

If the other choice is Joe Alleva, then yes.

How can you fire a guy and then hire him to be the boss of the position he was fired for. Why do we always have to hire people you're familiar with at LSU?

I forget which CFB programs have interviewed Les Miles for extended employment as their head coach? Michigan might if Jim Harbaugh were to vacate perhaps?

its actually not a bad question.. as hopefully we will be searching for an AD position soon.. I think the optics of him being the AD would be good, he did make solid hires. But being the AD is also alot about numbers and vision and how to attain that vision.. No one ever questioned the mans heart for the school, I hated him as a football coach from Day 1, i never wanted him here, his success at OSU came from Gundy. But he is a great man, great family man, and a fair man. If im in charge of hiring the AD, id want to have a conversation with him about becoming the AD. See what he has to say, get his thoughts. Find out what his vision would be and what he would want to do to attain that vision. my gut feeling tells me he wouldnt be a bad AD at all.

I'm really conflicted on this. Despite his neanderthalic approach to offense, Miles does know football, he understands the SEC, and he understands the talent level needed to compete in the SEC. Given that, I beleive Miles could evaluate and hire an excellent HC, and help assembling a staff. In regards to managing an Athletic Dept, who knows.

Perfect for LSU's tendency to go bargain-basement hunting when making AD and HC hires.
