I remember him as an overpaid buffoon that benefited from a goldmine of homegrown talent combined with the new modern era of NCAA compliance that prevented Rust Belt schools from luring our superior in state talent away with sacks of cash.

We can't develop them. It's not that we ONLY run the ball, it's just that we don't decide to pass it until we've lost a couple times and it's too late in the season to develop a passing game.

Enough to indicate a board interest in the thread anyway.

Did you create this account just to argue about Miles leaving?

Yes. This is the biggest topic of conversation in LSU Football in over a decade. Is it so surprising that this would be the catalyst for me joining the site?

Also, your thread on the Tiger Rant would probably have been better suited for the Coaching Changes Board.

Then it should have been moved instead of anchored.

Because 60% of the fan base wants him gone, per the Times Picauyne.

Suck how? It received a lot of replies from people who were genuinely interested in discussing the topic in a very short period of time. If you didn't like it, you didn't have to participate. The thread wasn't breaking any rules.

I 've followed CFB for a long time and I have friends who are alumni of all the major CFB powers. I think I have a pretty good feel feel for the basic pulse of each fan base, and what their general receptiveness to hiring a Miles would be.

If there are teams I left off my list that you think should be on there, say so. I'd love to know who you think they are.

I simply reject your premise.

Miles is coming to the end of his coaching career. Everyone knows this. Teams looking for coaches are generally on a multi-year plan of building the program.

It's just a very poor way of evaluating the worth of Miles as it relates to LSU.

Sorry to inject some reality here, but your age is very much tied to your value on the job market.

Evaluating Value: Assuming they needed a HC, which teams would want Miles?

I'm tired of hearing people say "I know he has sucked lately, but we can't find anyone better." My response to this is--how are you gaging his value exactly?

I am a capitalist, so I evaluate the worth of goods and services based on how much the market wants it.

So I pose to you the following question:

Which power programs (perennially ranked in the top 10-20) would consider Miles a top choice if they had a head coaching vacancy in a typical market? And by "top choice" what I mean is the fans of said program would largely approve of the hire.

So far my list is:

Definitely:
• Michigan
• Michigan State

Probably
• Nebraska
• Notre Dame
• Penn State

So, largely just struggling former powerhouses in the Rust Belt. No teams that have access to large quantities of home-bred 4-5 star talent. I think that says it all about his value folks.
