This list looks good. I especially like this. This guy is very underrated. He has done really well at Vandy.

Go back a couple of years ago. Orgeron won it then.

Orgeron was recruiting guys to go to OM. That's a hard task. He just couldn't coach them up. He can nationally recruit as well.

OM has talent. They now get a coach who can coach them up, but Nutt isn't as good of a recruiter as Orgeron.

Orgeron at LSU would lock down all the talent in the state of Louisiana. Miles may very well do that now. I just feel, that these kids wouldn't be waffling as much. BAMA v. LSU. There is alot of that now.

Saban and Orgeron are along the same minds of recruiting. They are relentless. I know Porter is good also, but i just think Orgeron is better. I don't think Porter could pull in the talent at OM that Orgeron did.

Contrary to popular belief, Orgeron didn't get OM or USC on probation. The guy is good at what he does. He's just not a head coach and that's not what i'm wanting from him. JUST RECRUIT.

Why are you flipping him the bird??

Maybe Urban is one of these coaches who can't stay somewhere for very long either. I don't know. He was at Bowling Green for a few years. He was then at Utah for a few years. And now Florida.

I just don't see him leaving, but anything is possible.

I said this in another thread. These coaches need to have HUGE buyouts. If he doesn't want that in his contract, move on with the coaching search. That tells you all you need to know about him. He's not in it for the long haul.

If a coach cannot sign a 5 year deal without a buyout, then he is going to be looking elsewhere in a few years.

You don't want him coaching your program.

Miles would owe us about $250,000 if he left for any job except Michigan, which is chump-change as far as a head coach's salary goes, but it's still more than him being able to walk away for free.

Which is why i followed what i said up with this:

quote:

---

The schools need to swing this back our way using large buyouts to keep these coaches committed.

---

These buyouts need to be huge. 250,000 is peanuts in coaching. Hell, if Bertman sneezed at his desk and his pen moved across the ledger, he could wipe out $250,000 without even missing it.

But i know he would miss it.

Integrity gets you nowhere in college football. Willingham has intergity look at how ND treated him. The only thing thats gets you anything is winning. Miles has integrity, but let him lose 5-6 two yrs in a row and see where he is. Hell, Solich has about as much integrity as one can have, the guy spent like 25 -30 yrs at Neb only to get canned after losing 3 games in a season.

---

Man, everything is setup in the coach's favor right now. Solich had integrity. Yes, he did. But, i wonder how much Nebraska paid him after they let him go. The schools are the ones getting screwed right now. they already pay coaches WAAAAY too much money as it is.

If a coach gets fired from a school, the school has to pay him the $$$. Like in Miles revised contract, if we fired him today, we would owe him $15 million. That's HUGE!!

Let's not use Mich as an example b/c of the buyout, but lets say if Miles left for Texas, he owes us $0. This system is in favor of the coaches. LSU would be screwed. It's absurd that college teams have gotten so desparate to win.

The schools need to swing this back our way using large buyouts to keep these coaches committed.

with their search? Look i'm not Miles hater. I hope Miles stays here for a long time. But i don't believe that excuse.

Actually I don't think that would be a bad hire at all. He might end up being a better HC than DC. He is a great recruiter and an angry black man is just what Michigan needs to change things up.

---

Yeah, that's what yall need!! :lol:

Truth be told, LSU could do better.

But i want Miles to stay. What's sad is he is very underrated coach. You can have all the talent in the world and not play in the BIG GAME. Look at TN, AU, FL, hell even ARK this year. There is not a HUGE talent difference that people make it out to be. The talent just needs to be experienced in some key areas and you can make a run.

FLA next year will be that team.

Miles surrounds himself with great coordinators and would be stupid not to.

If anything, i think Miles is very UNDERRATED.

Because like the rest of the SEC, think he just wins b/c of the talent. Yet, he keeps beating all the coaches with the same type of talent and more conference wins and has an SEC title. And don't tell me any coach can come in with this talent and win. They may can win 7-8 games based on talent, but not 10-11 like Miles has done almost every year.
