Does it matter that he knows more about coaching. We haven't been coaching for 20 years

The question is "Does he know enough to deserve the 3.8 million."

Judge by his sideline confusion and end of the game deboggles. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!! That is what matters.

Les Miles infinite knowledge of football and his ability to manage a program appear to be at odds.

All that football knowledge is a terrible thing to waste. Especially in a close game.

So all of you guys who disagree with the title, do you think you or another poster on this board could consistently recruit and win 8-10 games a season???


YES!!

It's f'n football, not rocket science. The lifestyle is what weeds out most wannabe's, not the intelligence necessary to succeed.

To get started in coaching, at nearly any level, you have to be willing to put in 75 hour work weeks for very little pay, just to have a shot at the big time. Most people aren't willing to make this kind of sacrifice. It wrecks marriages and families. In the end, if you can make it to Miles' level, I guess it is all worth it. Most importantly, you have to be a LEADER.

But, don't kid yourself. Most of these coaches are just ordinary ex-jocks. There are exceptions to this rule. Sean Payton is certainly top of mind.

The title of this thread is a joke. There's nothing special about Les Miles, other than his incredible string of good fortune and good timing.

What is retarded? You maybe... Les is responsible for not breaking NCAA rules and keeping his players in helmets only for the first practice. That limits the amount of physical activity. Not that hard to understand if you take the hate blinders off.

That is true but Miles is stubborn to his own detriment. He needs to be more flexible to succeed. He had too much success his first 3 years and is now going through a rough patch. Good luck to Les.

Fair enough.

The problem is that he doesn't seem to know more about football than any of his SEC colleagues.

Les is a complete Ron Zook clone through and through. 8-8 the last two years in the SEC should be an ego kill.

the problem is that he knows less than the coaches in the SEC.

My left pinky knows more about clock management

when the players think the coach is a "fricking idiot", that shows you that they have zero respect from him

Im sure he does, when taking his body of knowledge into account but, so did Jim Haslett yet, most people on this board knows that you don't break out the 2 pt conversion chart until the 4th quarter. Apparently no one told Haslett this.

My point is, despite his knowledge, there could be a few bone headed things here and there that even people on this board could justifiably call him out on.
