Honestly, Les Miles should go to the Big 10. His brand of Football would be appreciated there.

I kinda feel bad for him... Hes a good coach.. If he had changed his approach at QB play... they could've been a dangerous team to contend with.

I agree with both of you. But after dropping 5 in a row to Bama, evidently simply scaring Bama fans and winning their respect isn't good enough to keep the corndogs happy. They actually want to beat Bama occasionally. (But who doesn't?)
In my opinion, running Miles off is not the way to go about it. They won't do any better with whoever they could hire.

They feel like they should contend for NCs and be competitive in the West. They've lost five in a row to Bama, and three of those games were not even competitive. And it doesn't look like things are going to change.

They could do a lot worse than Miles, but then again they could get someone better...I agree it's not the right move, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if his replacement equaled or bettered Miles' success...he's gonna have a lot of talent to work with. I think there are coaches out there who could've done more with the talent that Miles has had.

What I dont understand is why announce he is having a meeting with the team. I would think they meet before every practice. Something Shirley is up , do you think they would fire him before the end of the season.

If Okie State doesn't lose to Iowa State in 2011, Miles probably has yet another national championship.

Flip side of that is he could have 0. In 2007, he lost to Kentucky and an unranked Arkansas and somehow still got to the BCSNCG.

But for two miracle drives by Bama in 2012 and 2014, it's a lot different. 2013 swung on a fake punt. This year we dominated, true, but it's not like we are blowing them off the field. If Okie State doesn't lose to Iowa State in 2011, Miles probably has yet another national championship.

I think they look at the fluke games Ole Miss has had and think they can beat us too. I don't see it.

Told my brother the same the other day when this talk started to heat up. Losing 5 straight to the man that broke their heart is bad enough. Losing two of those 5 at home while having their hearts ripped out makes it even worse.

Yeah, but you could also argue that all a coach can do is put his team in a position where if the breaks go his way, they win a championship. Saban has done that. Ball breaks differently he could have a couple more or a couple less. Miles has done the same thing for LSU.

I asked this earlier but I still think it relevant: If Saban had not built the LSU program from the ground up -- and that job had fallen to Les Miles -- would he have had anywhere near the same success? I don't think so.

Doubtful. And the L5U fans know it, which is why they're so upset with Miles. They want Saban, or a Saban clone, and they'll never be happy because such an animal will never roam their sidelines again.

What really successful coach would leave his current team, to face CNS every year?

I would say....................close to zero. (Even one that just got fired from the NFL. But, how many of the ones that get fired are really successful?)

A buyout of LSU coach Les Miles' contract is "a very good possibility," a high-ranking source tells @schadjoe.
