No really good QB wanted to play in his system. Overall he was a fantastic coach

With the talent he had he should’ve played for atleast 4 Nattys. Miles was an idiot and the same people loving him right now are the same people that wanted fired his last 5 years here


had NC talent on 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011. 2012 and 2016 teams.


7 teams.

wasted so much talent. we had blow hard clowns here bragging about wins for so long until it crashed and burned. remember that guy SPEEDY and his shite thread. was so funnu watching that thing go down in flames at the end. shite conference record and losing record againt bama, ole miss and arky last few years.

Was it 2016 when Les continually slammed Fornette straight ahead into Bama's D?

Les has a ring, BK does not and probably will not at this rate


What’s funny is that if you posted this comment on here this time last year, you probably would’ve gotten no upvotes at all. But now the opinion on Kelly has become much more split regarding if he’ll ever win a championship here.

Why was he losing more games with more talent, at the end of his tenure?

By that time Alabama dynasty was rolling and he was playing catch up. Trying to do too much.


Losing games to Arkansas, Ole Miss, State, and Wisconsin have nothing to do with Bama.

Miles was elite from 05-07, but he really botched the 08 season hires and the team talent really fell off in some spots. It took a full 2 seasons to rebuild it. I credit it for doing that, but the Bama title loss was the end for him. It just took a while to play out, but the downward trend was very clear.

We fired Les for losing 3 or 4 games a year and Brian Kelly is doing the exact same shite. At least Les won SEC championships and big non conference games. Kelly lost 4 games in year 3. Ouch.

Les had a 62.5 winning % in sec play his last 4 full seasons. Kelly is at 70.8% thru 3 seasons.

Completely false.

Miles' winning percentage his last full 3 seasons was .710, and that STILL wasn't enough to get him fired.

Kelly took over a rebuild and is sitting at .725 over his first three seasons.

Definitely not the same.

That toughness started falling off in 2013 and fell off a cliff at times from 2014 through his firing in 2016.



Huh? What a stupid comment.


2014 had more to do with having Anthony Jennings as a QB.

That team won a close game against Wisconsin, beat No. 3 Ole Miss while
Rushing for 264 yards, and would have taken down #5 Alabama, but for Vadal Alexander’s retarded penalty.


2015 the team was undefeated going into November.


Miles didn’t keep up with the times and his refusal to update his offensive philosophy did him in. But his teams were nasty.

Les had a decade to build his program, he also had more talent. He was still underperforming what Kelly is doing right now.

Yet we have some folks who want Les back.

Make it make sense
