Rumor: Les Miles to Nebraska as Assistant?

Thank

You

Has anyone watched an LSU game in the past decade?

We appear to be just now starting to get over the unorganized, erratic, mistake-riddled style of football that has plagued this program for over a decade. On top of all of that there appears to be some serious qb development and coaching going on. And now there's ppl that want this guy to come in here? No way. What is the draw to Les Miles? Because he coached at LSU, and with all the talent at his disposal, couldnt ever find a way to field what would appear to be a competent football team aside from riding the coat tails of massive talent advantages? And of all that talent, never once showed the ability to coach a qb or develope a qb, which was probably the upmost key in holding LSU back from being what their talent level said they shoulda been. And in the last few years, a talent advantage that was caught up to.

I mean, Les Miles isn't coming here and I feel ridiculous even responding in this thread, but lol @ this logic.

So if he came in as an assistant or analyst somehow his mad hatter ideology would permeate through the entire program and instantly make Tommy Armstrong suck again, make us more penalty/mistake prone, and start losing games in bewildering fashion? You give him way more credit than you think, apparently.

Anyways, I wonder what coattails he was riding in 2011. Beat the (by end of season polls) #1 team, #4 team, #5 team, #17 team, and #19 teams by an average score of 40-20 going 13-1.

Well first off it's just my opinion. Watched a lot of LSU over the years, esp the last few trying to get a read on what the infatuation with Miles is. It's a strange deal. Yeah. He had that one season that was just completely dominant. but for the most part it's just been a roller coaster ride down there, with the best of the best in his backyard (which makes his recruiting prowess very debateable) of erratic and unorganized football. It's something we seem to have been dealing with for a while here and are just now seeming to get over it. No, i dont think any sort of behind the scenes presence would cause a lot of problems or make us take leaps backwards, but let's be honest, he's not coming here for that. Like you said, it's such a ridiculous notion that it's not worth responding too. My whole deal is Les Miles has alway been one of them dream names thrown around seemingly, and I just don't see it. I dont see the draw. If we're going to pursue big name coaches, Les is at the bottom of the list to me. And the coattails he was riding were in fact massive talent advantage. Them two Bama/LSU games that year were who's who showcases of the following NFL draft. What we've seen since, and a lot prior, is more of an accurate sample of the kind of football that is played under Les. His only NC year, they lost two games, and were lucky that college football that season (2007) was a total crapshoot of parity in which no one wanted to be #1.

A lot of these rumors will probably be out there because 1, Nebraksa fans are delirious and would think Saban would come here. 2. His son committed here, but I don't even know if he had an offer from LSU,

You mean Miles.

Also, I think Miles knowing there was a big chance he was going to get fired played a factor in if he offered his son a scholarship to go there.

I meant Saban, as in people thought we could hire him after Bo was fired. I just didn't explain it well

 
Hmm...he hasn't taken a job as a head coach yet. Most of the attractive HC jobs are filled. HCMR said that once the 10th assistant is approved they would like to add an offensive assistant and he has proven that he will shell out the money to hire the best. I think everyone just assumes it's Tavita's job, but I like to keep an open mind. His son is joining the squad next year. I'm not usually conspiracy theory guy but....

 
had a friend tell me last night that the williams hire was essentially saying that "im willing to pay 400k this year to

i dont want Les Miles anywhere near our offense. We have enough issues on that side of the ball

I do see benefits to the presence of this name. His presence alone could/would result in good pub and connections and better talent gain. But his overall coaching abilities are something to be desired. on the defensive side i'd be for it. But for fans who want to put all blame on coaching, and then sport desire for a guy like Miles, it just makes zero sense to me.

Miles would be fine as an offensive coach, hell he is an offensive coach. We don't have to let him call the offense, he is pretty good with the lineman I hear
