re: Les Miles a likely jump to NFL (wut?)

got it from a close friend of miles and the family that saban was going to tx and les was going to take the bama job. remember you heard it here first.

IMO Jeff Fisher would be perfect for that job.

Don't even post this kind of idea. Miles may see it. We need him here.

Do I think he will make the jump one day, maybe even now? Sure, why not if the money is right. I can see Les being a Butch Davis Part Deaux. Les has to know that he is one of the top 5 recruiting hot beds in the country. That kind of talent can hide a few coaching flaws. Just ask Nick Saban, college success mean little. The NFL is a different game; those guys are grown arse men.

"... considering the NCAA is investigating his program and sanctions could be on their way... "

... uhhh , neaux ... WTF? .. where do they get this shite ?

fricking media. Just like last time we were going for a NC -- create a disturbance by reporting false bullshite.

In the fan poll associated with that article, Les isn't even listed as one of the candidates to vote for:

This is laughable because CLM coaches precisely the opposite. He's planted himself in a talent rich universe and coaches to play as a team with no stars and definitely no superstars. His key players are regularly asked to sacrifice ego in the name of team winning. See Spender Ware's 2nd half and QB Lee for great examples of players who've accepted diminished roles.

To say that's possible or even likely in a league of pre-madonna's is ridiculous. The mentoring, respect, and submission required on a college student's behalf is not something a bunch of Pacman Jones and Reggie Bush's (Miami) will accept. Reggie went to Miami to be the primary back; he was in a multi-back system in New Orleans and hated it.

What these so called NFL experts have failed to realize is CLM's success has more to do with making what was old and traditional, namely faceless team spirit over modern ego showboating, and translating it into Team Swag and #Winning. That is not possible with stars, superstars or talentless professional bench warmers in a league with parity and salary caps.

CLM benefits from the Talent Rich Louisiana pool.

CLM's style translates to a loaded team who will play as a team

CLM's coaching style will not work with overpaid egos

I dont know CLM personally..... but man, he sure dont seem like he would make that jump. So many others have tried and didnt care for it, you would think he would consider that. He is cementing himself as a coaching legend here at LSU, why walk away from this?? How could it get any better??
