We could fire Stoops if our administration had the same expectations that LSU has. Our program would be tickled to win 6 and go to the BBVA Compass Bowl. LSU actually wants to compete for titles.
I thought they kept Miles because all their top choices to replace him wouldn't pick up the phone.
I think the fact he had a top 5 recruiting class on the line, played a huge part in them keeping him.
You don't want him. He's horrible at X's and O's and making adjustments, is the worst clock manager in the country, and can't develop a QB to save his life. Most overrated coach in the country, IMO. If it weren't for the fact that he were in a state with ZERO in-state competition, he'd lose 4-5 games every single year.
Amazing story, if true. But let's remember that LSU came within a whisker of firing Miles last year, and the Tigers aren't exactly off to the kind of start predicted by their high preseason national ranking. The SEC-W is the best college football in the country, and the LSU job is 1 of the toughest. I think Miles and Cameron will land on their feet. A lot of jobs are going to be open at the end of this season.
He is uniquely qualified to be the next U.K. Coach. He's already lost a heartbreaker in Commonwealth Stadium.
Les Miles came to LSU from Oklahoma State. I would guess he will land somewhere west of Baton Rouge. But he grew up in Ohio, so he might be attracted to the Big 10 if the right fit is available. Miles is 62 years old, so the next job could be his last. Or maybe he will just hang it up. LSU owes him a fortune.
Petrino is stuck at Louisville for a long time because of his contract. A cash-flushed school like LSU could afford to buy UL out, if they were really determined to do it. I don't think Jurich would be crushed to end up with Brohm. But LSU will make a big move for Jimbo Fisher before even thinking about anyone else.
No, Stoops has been a disapointment to me in his 3 plus years. Miles is like Tubby was, less effective with each passing year !
If miles can't win at LSU what makes you think he can win at uk? All the 4 and 5 stars lsu has. look at the history of what uks coaches have gone on to do it's nearly a coaching graveyard.
