He's one of the 250 best football HC's in Louisiana when you factor in college, high school, junior high, and pee wee football.

Les Miles is a fan of Justin Bieber.

I stick up for him all the time. I have a number of people who repeatedly ask me if he's as stupid as he looks and I ALWAYS reply "No, there's no way he's THAT stupid, now STFU".

THe man negotiated more money/good decisions than anyone else in coaching.

I think it comes out to about $500K per good decision.

He is good at creating great expectations when they don't exist. The Euphoria last right up to the game or season with comments like:

"8-4 is not good enough around here"
"Best offensive line we ever had"
"We worked hard at addressing the problems"
"The QB has corrected his mistakes"
"We had a great week of practice"
"We will have a great effort this week"
"Expect there to be great improvement"

Please fill in the rest!

Umm, I think this is supposed to be a "say something positive about Les Miles as a Football Coach" thread. Did you miss the memo, Mr. Touchy?

2004:9-3 coming off National Championship
2005:11-2 in first season despite Katrina

?

I guess Miles was better with Saban's players than Saban.

Being a Sooner fan I like LesSmiles because he is no longer at Chokelahoma State (Big 12)!
