re: Can you guys give an honest assessment of how Miles would do at KU?

Mickey Joseph?! Come on man, we can’t afford for our offensive braintrust to take that big a hit!!

This is the 2019 schedule:
08/31 - Indiana State
09/07 - Coastal Carolina
09/14 - at Boston College
09/21 - West Virginia
09/28 - at TCU
10/05 - Oklahoma
10/19 - at Texas
10/26 - Texas Tech
11/02 - Kansas State
11/16 - at Oklahoma State
11/23 - at Iowa State
11/30 - Baylor
I see around 8-10 losses

He’s not going to be able to recruit anywhere near the same level of talent at Kansas, so he’s not going to do very well IMO.

I think he could get them to be competitive. Nothing fancy but kids would come to him and the program. I’d expect winning records at least.

I know there is some bad blood

I don't know a Tiger fans who hates Les. He just needed to go. It was better for both parties.

I think he'll do well for Kansas expectations.

He could make them a perpetual 8 game winner. At Kansas that is something.

lol, that would be incredible.

If he goes to KU. I hope he bring in a dynamic young OC that is creative and fun to watch. I would not mind seeing a few Les Miles haters jaw drop to the floor when he succeed.

I hope he goes. I'll go to as many games as I can since I'm just down the road in kc

Why haven't any other schools tried to hire him?

Age? There has to be some reason.

If you listen to some of the idiots here on the rant, they'll tell you it's because he sucks as a head coach. Never mind the fact that he has a 114-34 record at LSU and a 142-55 record overall.

That doesn't sound bad to me.

I personally believe it's because of his age. Although I suppose it's possible that he really doesn't care to coach anymore, but he's just going thru the motions that are required of him to continue to receive his buy out.

He hasn’t taken any other jobs because of the $$$.., he hasn’t seriously considered any other jobs yet while that $130k/mo has been rolling in.

I always said he won’t take another job until his remaining balance owed at LSU is under $4-5 million. We’re getting closer to that point where he could take another job, payments from LSU cease, but Miles recoup that lost LSU money in one year at another school than over 4 years from LSU.

I imagine Kansas would give him $4m/year or more, so that starts to tilt the scales in favor of him finally pulling the trigger. While LSU owed him $10 million, he would have basically been working for free for a couple years (no better off) had he taken another job. The balance is getting to the point now where he will seriously start considering some $4-6 million per yr offers.
