Oh, I'm well aware that a ton of people hate Miles, and have since his hire was announced.

It has always seemed like a "trophy wife" type of insecurity; we had Saban, and the media talked about him like he was some type of supermodel (it was about the same type of "he's the greatest" talk as we saw about Fournette early in the season). A lot of people got all giddy about the gushing and love.

Miles got hired after Saban left, and the bitching commenced. Miles wasn't the hot new wonder coach, nobody raved about his brilliance, and we couldn't brag that we had the guy everyone else wanted anymore. It erupted full-scale after we lost that Monday night Tennessee game, but all the petty shite had started prior to that; the complaints about his hat, his earphones, his general lack of suave dapper style (remember Nick always rocked that mock turtleneck like a Hollywood guy, and then Les came in looking like a goober).

Basically, most of the Miles hate has always been insecurity, like a guy that worries the girl with him isn't as pretty as someone else's date. People have always been eager to bash him because of that. It makes no impact that he's winning at a higher level than any prior coach here, or that he's been able to keep the program nationally relevant... and he has. Hell, this season is proof of that- as soon as we started the season with a couple of wins, we shot up the polls and our TB was the greatest thing ever. You don't see that in a lot of other places.

Until and unless we get the next Saban, a guy everyone insists will be the next superstar coach in the NFL, who looks smooth to boot, people will whine and bitch about "settling", whatever that's supposed to mean (I take it the same as "settling" for your wife, rather than hooking up with the latest SI swimsuit model).

those guys rarely, if ever, work out

Urban Meyer was that guy.

Tom Herman designed the offense that demolished Bama. 'nuff said.

That is some far-reaching, kooky pseudopsychology.

Do you like to study history?

The Head Coach at Michigan State.

Who never achieved double digit wins in a season. Saban's record at Michigan State:

6-5-1
6-6
7-5
6-6
9-2

The Head Coach at Oklahoma State.

That was 1-2 against Louisiana Tech with superior athletes. Les's record at Oklahoma State:

4-7
8-5
9-4
7-5

So I ask again, who were Miles and Saban before LSU?

im sure its been mentioned somewhere, but my biggest concern is that if les goes this year, we arent prompt enough with the change and the best coaches available to be had are taken by USC, Miami, Missouri, South Carolina, NFL....

i do like the idea of moving on from les miles but doing that right in my opinion requires very proactive and behind the scenes work by the people that do this stuff.

We controlled them very effectively throughout the game, and gave a a late garbage TD. The score wasn't a good indicator of the game

This is college where it isn't exactly as fair as the NFL. He'd get guys at LSU that were hard to get at UO.

Imagine Chip with a similar D but with an O that can put up 40 consistently. :boner:

Guy is credited with taking Oregon where they had never been before. He's legit and would be my first call.

You are a moron! LSU is one of the top 5 coveted coaching jobs in college. Do you think every D1 school pays $4 million per? Grow up

Buttail, you must be 12 or 13 moron licker, because those who are actually a little older can recall all the other times when idiots like yourself fooled themselves into believing LSU is the job all the best coaches will jump at the chance to coach, only to find out that we have to settle for a 4th or 5th choice, which is actually the 7th or 8th choice after coaches who aren't really serious about the job pull their names because they were playing LSU to get a raise at their present school. You need to wake the frick up from your dream world, and snap back to reality.
