Les Miles

[LJpalmbeacher2]

may be on the way out at LSU.

I was wondering what some of you think about us hiring him.

There are some other coaches in college I would prefer like Harbaugh, Urban Meyer, and maybe even Nick Saban though I really think he is a scumbag of a person. And Myles has a better chance of actually being available unlike Harbaugh & Meyer.

[csmopar]

No....

[Derakynn]

Don't need a coach without extensive NFL experience.

[Dudley Smith]

No, besides to my knowledge having zero NFL experience, the guy has underachieved for a number of seasons now with LSU. He did win one title at the NCAA level, but I don't think that is enough to think he is going to come in and take the Colts to the next level.

[ColtRider]

LSU would have to be out of their minds, along with the alumni to get rid of Les Myles. One of the finest collegiate football coaches ever. As far as Les going to the NFL? Could be a snowball's chance in an inferno. It would have to be one of the most overwhelming offers ever put out by an NFL team for him to leave the college ranks. JMO.

[grmasterb]

One of the major criticisms regarding MILES is his failure to develop QBs at LSU.

[BOTT]

That guy is a jackwad

Not sure it's up to him to develop a QB. But prob could have done better than hiring cam Cameron.

Not sure if serious

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Non sense! 

[RockThatBlue]

Gotta love this forum. One minute we have people complaining about hiring a first time HC (like Pagano) the next minute people are asking if the colts should hire Les Miles who has no NFL head coaching experience.

[BOTT]

Let me get this straight. Nick Saban is a scumbag, but you want Les Miles? A guy who called an 18 yr old kid a coward because he had the audacity to back out of his commitment to LSU. A guy who lets the team vote on whether a fellow player should get suspended for sucker punching another student.

[ColtRider]

Not sure if serious

You better believe I'm serious. So, nothing, according to you over the last 11 years during Miles' tenure @ LSU means nothing except that he's accused of a vote to have a player sucker punch another? Miles tells it like it is. Not like it ain't. So sue him.

You read that wrong. Jeremy Hill sucker punched a kid outside of a bar and good ol Les let's his teammates vote on the consequences. If he tells it like it is then just say you don't give to %s what happened and I'm going to start Jeremy Hill. But not Les, he shifts the blame to the 19 yr old players. But what do you expect from a 40 yr old coach who called an 18 yr old recruit a coward for spurning LSU.

[Defjamz26]

Miles is not NFL coach material. I'd take Brian Kelly over Miles. Heck, I'd take Pep over Miles.

If he becomes available, and I'm looking for a head coach for my NCAA football team as Sports Athletic Director, I'm taking him.

Where's Jeremy Hill now? Oh yeah, starting RB for the Cincinnati Bengals. Do I care what the real story was surrounding all the garbage I've read about Miles?

Not a chance.

What does Jeremy hill being talented enough to play in the NFL have to do with anything? I guess you are pointing out that Les can recruit.....ok.

Recruit, coach, players love him, represents LSU admirably, and recognizes talent much better than a lot of other NCAA teams and coaches. Yeah, Alabama is their thorn in the side. I think he's 5-7 there. Miles to me, at least, is one heck of a collegiate HC.

[The Fish]

What about Lou Holtz?

[BOTT]

What about Lou Holtz?

The NFL'S first foolish coach.

[Gavin]

I want nothing to do with Miles whatsoever

[Hoose]

That would be a hell no. MIles is always finding a way to blow the national championship for LSU. Please let him move on to the next college program and avoid darkening the door of the NFL.

[2006Coltsbestever]

No thanks!

[zibby43]

 Miles tells it like it is. Not like it ain't. So sue him.

 

Miles has consistently produced some of the worst offenses in all of CFB.  I'm talking vanilla, totally inept offensive schemes.

 

Not someone you want in charge of a franchise QB.

[chrisfarley]

Don't need a coach without extensive NFL experience.

we don't need a coach without extensive head-coaching NFL experience

Zibby43, scroll back and read my posts. I never said Miles would be a good, very good, great, NFL prospective HC. I believe he needs to stay in the NCAA. And while we're at, go take a look at Miles' record while @ LSU. I'd take him to coach my NCAA team in a heartbeat, if I were an Athletic Sports Director looking for a HC and he was free to do so.

As far as HCing in the NFL? No. I stated a "snowball's chance in an inferno". Much different venue as you well know.

[NewColtsFan]

Miles a very good college coach.

 

He's not an NFL coach.

 

And there's nothing wrong with that.     He's not what we're looking for.......

[BleedBlu8792]

Miles a very good college coach.

I don't think he's that good of a coach. The guy routinely has some of the best recruiting classes in the nation, but seems to underachieve every year.

[theanarchist]

I'm not picking on you at all but I alway find it funny how these NCAA programs fire these types of coaches or force them out! You used the word "underachieved", Miles' record the last 6 seasons: 2010- 11-2, 2011 13-1(National title), 2012 10-3, 2013 10-3, 2014 8-5 and this year 7-3 so far. Those are great records for any program. Ask Texas and Nebraska about how they feel about their most recent coaching hires. I just shake my head at these situations because a guy who has gone 110-32 at your school shouldn't be getting forced out. It's ridiculous.

[Coltsman1788]

The Colts could do much better in my opinion. This guy isn't the sharpest pencil in the box in regards to coaching acumen. He has too one dimensional of an offensive mind for my taste.

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

If hes so special why is he on his way out ?        Maybe in that 11 years there was more .

Hey, Adonis 1, what's goin' on, man? Miles is on his way out because he's lost his last 3 games in a row & has a tough time beating Alabama. (5-7) Yeah, it's that simple. Yeah, over 11 years ...Never mind the Championships, never mind the SEC titles, never mind his incredible overall record, never mind how many times LSU has been ranked in the Top 5-10 nationally, never mind he's a great collegiate coach, never mind he's a great recruiter, never mind players love him.

LSU wants a coach that never loses, and wins the national title every 3 years. Good luck.

[Indyfan4life]

Miles... No. I've seen enough LSU games and what he'd bring to the table. He would literally do nothing for the Colts, and I guarantee by his second year his forum would be calling for his head.

You people confuse me. You don't want Saban, but you want Miles... Uh... What?

I believe just about everyone concurs in the thread that Miles should not become an NFL coach. We've been talking about the tenure and questionable longevity Miles has left at LSU and whether he's a good NCAA coach.

[shakedownstreet]

i'd rather hire fire marshall bill

Not fair, but when you put more players in the NFL than any other program, you better be getting to the title game more often....or at least that's what fans expect. I believe this is the only reason Saban would leave Bama....you lose two games and the seasons a failure. That's a lot of pressure no matter who you are...especially in a small college town.

[ColtRider]

Les Miles WILL continue as LSU HC! Breaking news per ESPN after their victory over Texas A&M. He was carried off the field by his players. Best winning coach percentage over the last 25 years. .776 111-32. Over 11 years.

LSU AD : "Miles is our football coach and will continue to be our football coach."

Like I stated earlier in this thread. LSU would've been out of their minds to let Miles go. Common sense & logic prevails in the great state of Louisiana tonight.

LSU would have been dumb to fire him.

I wonder where all those rumors were coming from? I thought it would be totally asinine to have fired him. Very odd...

He's not on his way out.
