Is Maryland the least bit interested in Les?

He's gonna take a midwest job.

What about all of the offers from top-notch programs that I was told that Les would get? TRant told me that his phone would be ringing off the hook for a high profile job after his firing.

So no one wanted O for a job while he was doing the local talk radio circuit in Lafourche in 2014 before Miles plucked him off the trash heap?

If the Colorado job comes open, I could see there being some mutual interest there.

He would terminate Canada immediately

Think Miles would like the grass there?

I don't get it

You can’t have people saying he was an amazing coach who shouldn’t have been fired and also say everyone knew no one would hire him. Just admit he had a good few years but his stubbornness killed the program his last 4 years. He’s still a nice guy but you people canonize him.

I hate this misconception. It ignores half the equation.


Miles was a great guy and coach and had an amazing run

A change was clearly needed as he failed to adopt a new offense. He needed to be fired. There’s not many who will disagree with that



BUT

Once you make that decision, you are saying “we are better than 8-5,9-3,10-2. We need to be better than that so we are making a change” and they also added the caveat that nothing was innately wrong with the program so we should be able to simply replace the HC and watch us fly into playoff contention

So when the result of that turns into a career disaster at HC, whose early results are extremely similar to what we had during the tail end of the miles era, while we are paying miles to sit at home for doing so, human nature will make you wonder, “well frick if nothing has changed then why did we make a change in the first place”. Especially while the program continues to change the goal posts to say that now the job requires a rebuild and miles left the cupboard bare etc etc etc to protest the current regime it makes your blood boil.

Y'all are some dumb motherfrickers if you don't think schools have contacted George Bass about Les.

The program wasn’t fricking killed

His last 4 years were 10-3 10-3 8-5 9-3

last 3+ years, Les went 15-11 in the SEC (10-10 against the West).

Overall win totals, padded by OOC cupcakes and weaker SEC teams, don't mean much to me when our goal is championships.
