re: Les Miles... in Denver Post today...on list forH.C. @ U Colorado

A realtor friend of mine who is big in the BR area called to tell me that the Miles house is going to be listed next for sale next month. Fact.

---

Yes..and he told me that Terry Saban was first in line to get it...Fact #2

But, an intriguing choice would be a current SEC head coach.

Les Miles of LSU probably could be lured to CU. Miles and LSU have just about had enough of each other, and the coach of the 2007 BCS champions has said to friends that his favorite place to live and coach was Boulder, where he served as offensive line coach under McCartney from 1982-86. Would the "Mad Hatter," so named because of his dicey play-calling and odd nature, be the first choice as Les "Miles High"?

I think some of you have that same thing with LSU football that people who have been cheated on by their significant other have - "well, I know he/she is cheating on me and treats me like shite, but I will NEVER find anyone else better, so I'm gonna just put up with the bullshite and learn to forgive".

---

This would make sense if we were having to put up with "bullshite." We've had more success under Les Miles than our program has ever seen in its entire history. That's worth stating one more time ... We have had more on-field success under Les Miles than we have EVER seen at Louisiana State University in our entire program's history.

I don't care what he inherited, the statement above is fact.

Some of you just don't get that, and never will.

"I don't buy the fear that you and others have of completely failing if a change were to be made from Miles."

If you can't see the very real possibility of making another poor hire how do you explain his hiring to begin with? IMO LSU has only made a handful of decent hires in our entire history. Our ability to judge coaching talent inspires no confidence in me.

Bingo. We are more likely to end up with a Hallman/Dinardo than a Saban/Meyer. It's a sad fact.

LSU has hit homeruns with the last two major coaching hires it has made. Things aren't like they used to be.

And I'm not saying we should keep him because of the possibility of another poor hire. I'm just saying I'm not excited in the least bit about our chances. It's like Charlie Browns Halloween... Some kids get a popcorn ball. We usually end up with a rock.

I have faith in joe a. and the administration to make a good hire. For the first time in a long time our administration appears to be independent from the louisiana/lsu politics. Joe's only hire is a home run. Most called for A Grant, we winded up with someone better. He's one an s.e.c. title, he has us set up to make another run next year.

I know people will reference his duke hires. It's really not a fair comparison. Is like saying the vandy A.D. should be blasted for not getting a saban, myer, steve s. ect.

i'll give Joe this, he at least tries to communicate with fan base and has done a pretty good job up to this point. I trust him much more than good ole skip as the A.D.

we should have known skip wasn't up to the task when he hired smoke. (and that is the sport he knew the most). If you look at every hire skip made, he down graded the program from where it was. Van, Smoke, Les, schafer over henry, he would do nothing about brady. i will give him credit for Paul m. at least he did better the second time around.

The Colorado 5th down was a direct result of the "Mad Hatter's Luck"!
I don't even know if Les was there when that happened, but it would be funny if he was.

And, Cutcliff would be a giant step-up as OC from what we have now. Head man, not so much.

I feel the same way. I'm hoping for Houston Nutt, Ed Orgeron or maybe David Cutcliffe. Alleva's Duke ties bring LSU the vaunted David Cutcliffe!

So now you're rooting against LSU just to prove your illogical childish point. Wow.
