Les Miles fired according to Sunday reports

[Tider n LA]

I hate it for Les because I like him but in the world of college football, it is about what have you done for me lately. In 11 plus years at LSU, he was 114-34 with 1 national championship and played for another. A lot of programs wish they could say that. Tough thing playing in the SEC west.

Probably a national title, three SEC West titles, two SEC Championships, and the fact that he's one of the best recruiters in the nation. What's really funny is that there's no way possible they can hire anybody with a resume that good unless they rehire Coach Saban.

This may also affect the job of the Athletic Director's job, which was in jeopardy last year

Rumor has it they've reached out to Herman and Briles.

Hello Art Briles.

I think that this very much depends on where he stood on Miles last year. Was he fighting to keep Miles, or forced to keep Miles? If the former, he is gone. If the later, he will probably be given a chance to hire a replacement.

Little early for speculation.It will happen Dec,Jan unless their it is a Coach without a Job.

Hello Art Briles.

Briles will take this job in a heartbeat if offered. It's right next to Texas so he can maintain his high schools ties.
Coach Saban has now processed the entire SEC.

Hence the speculation about Briles.

Thing about hiring Art Briles, is that its kind of complicated. A lot of the current Baylor staff will join Art where he goes, its just how it is and how Art operates. A lot of that Baylor staff have been with Art since Art's highschool coaching days at Stephenville. His Son Kendall being one of them. Also, word in Central Texas is that QB Jarrett Stidham will go where Art Briles goes. So if its LSU, so be it.

He was forced, otherwise he would have been embarrassed by firing Miles and having to settle for a coach he didn't want. Who knows, that new coach might have turned them around for all we know

2 ideas that scare the bajesus out of me


1) lsu gets hugh freeze

2) the saints miss the playoffs again, brees retires, and lsu goes after sean peyton.

More reason to despise LSU if they hire Briles..

Herman has a huge buyout. I'm assuming Art Briles doesn't..

Or Herman could go to an SEC school and make $5-$6M per YEAR

Exactly, the whole idea that Herman is firmly entrenched at Houston is puzzling to me. LSU is a destination job, Houston isn't.

I'm sure a lot of folks at AU would like those two over Gus but I hope y'all give him a 20 year extension.

 

[colbysullivan]

What makes you think he wanted to save his job? Probably kept things the way they were to collect the buyout and get away from the fans that have constantly bashed him for years and called for him to be fired. I think he wanted this to happen.

Come on, seriously...

Hence the speculation about Briles.

With the situation behind his firing I can't imagine him being a candidate, but you never know.

Well, there are two sides to that coin. A lot of folks think that Art was a scapegoat and was did wrong by Baylor.
