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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
