The Irony is deep, Les was hired for his "high character".

I remember hearing Ott & Hanny interviewing Bertman about the hiring of Les Miles. Skip said that the BOS was worried about coaching scandals and they thought that Les Miles was a person of 'High Character" who would never embarrass LSU.

It did take him a while to embarrass LSU off the field, on the field was his usual venue.

Skirt chasing is pretty much par for the course for most rich and powerful guys. What Les did was perhaps a little more blatant and less careful than the norm, but only a little. As long as he kept it on the DL they didn't care too much. TBH Saban Jodying Candy Edwards probably made them more nervous than anything Les did.

What they meant by never embarass LSU was getting caught with a duffel bag of cash in a recruit's living room.

Did he actually do anything wrong other than cheat on his wife with hot college chicks? The smoking gun seems to be that a girl willingly got into his vehicle by herself with him. Am I missing something here? Just kinda funny how Kiffin basically gets praised for the thought of him doing it but Les is somehow the biggest scumbag on earth

Agree. Kiffin does this type of stuff daily and is admired for it.

1/9/12 was a fire-able offense.

Chasing skirt is one thing, getting administration involved in hiring discrimination is a whole different level. Power got to his head.

You misrepresenting what Skip said. One of the major reasons he went with Les over Bobby Petrino was because of Bobby's character issues.

People live in a unrealistic reality, ignoring our physical make-up. We constantly fight demons of our of our own nature to live in a Social construct we call a just, moral Society? I’m torn constantly from wanting the buffet of young, college women that kept me in rut till I forsake even basic desires such as food, in my former years; to now live in a sacred bond of monogamous chastity. God forbid that I be thrown into that proverbial briar patch, ever again...

Some big differences. Kiffen is single and I doubt he rolls like Miles did as far as technique. Miles reps himself like a family man so these coeds are at first going to think it is OK to be around him, ride in his car, etc. Coeds know Kiffen is single and a player. Also is Kiffen hitting on his student staff? Maybe I missed it.

Yeah that was certainly one of the reasons he was hired . Of course I don’t expect this thread to live very long. So many are being whacked for no reason at all.

You are correct....I have never ever seen a woman get a job cause of her looks. *eyeroll*

I’m also curious about that, I always thought Kiffin was just a horny dude who liked younger chicks. To be honest, I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t even have that much of a problem whether they’re married or not.

I *do* have a huge issue of discriminatory hiring practices and of power figures exploiting it in a manner such as “if you let me spear you I’ll help you get ahead.”

I guess they used the Rant sheep as character witnesses.
Where is Rick Daddy? Is he in Kansas defending his hero.

If you’re high profile (highest paid state employee), you gotta be smarter than that. Fired with cause (a big dummy).

Power to his head or just stupid and poorly coached. Simply ask for ‘talent’ -

I'm actually curious which rich long time HC has, over the years, done the most damage.

Sark was NOTORIOUS at Washington.

June Jones supposedly got a volley ball girl pregnant at Hawaii.

Petrino is Petrino.

Kiffin is Kiffin.

Craig Bohl was banished to (and begot) NDSU partially because he was nailing Braska chicks, albeit as an assistant and coordinator.

Bammer had their stripper guy for a minute.

For some reason I bet Jackie Sherrill fricking slayed. I'd put a lot of money on that.

Who else?

Edit: Oh. Spurrier. I mean it's just conjecture, but come on. He must have.

Edit2: Dennis Erickson.
