“I’m not done climbing,” Miles said. “There has to be another championship out there I can win somewhere.”

And I'll be rooting for you Les. Hope he finds some good grass to chew on someplace soon

for Purdue or any other program with so much stacked against it. At his age he's going to look for offers from programs that are ready to win AND able to pay the $$$ a coach with his track record is able to command.

but he is done.  That offense he ran with Cam Cameron was absolutely horrible.  Time to call it a day, go hang with Lloyd Carr and Gary Moeller at the local diner, and talk about the good ol' days when, after a 1st down incompletion, you would always run that "surprise" draw play on 2nd and 10, before all these new fangled, fancy offenses ruined everything...

I wonder whether Les would possibly be invited by Jim to speak to the team?

While it might be a little early for Les to be an honorary captain (as he isn't retired), i think it would be pretty cool if he did get to spend some time with the team....

It's interesting Miles always had great defenses and terrible offenses despite being an offensive coach. Charlie Strong is a defensive coach yet has the worst defense in the Big 12 (let that sink in) but a potent offense. They should try swapping sides.

Hire them both as coordinators and PJ Fleck as a CEO head coach. They can always swap back sides if things get stale.

I do agree with others - I think that 114-34 in 11 years should earn you a much longer leash than Les apparently had, which makes me wonder about what exactly the situation was behind the scenes in Baton Rouge. 

In any event, I will be at the Indiana game myself. Perhaps I finally get to ask him in person the important question - Scott's or MiracleGro?

My understanding (albeit limited, and mostly based on gossip) is that it basically came down to a handful of batshit insane Cajun boosters who had outsized opinions of their importance to LSU's on field success. LSU needed their money, and was afraid if they didn't cave and fire Miles they'd lose the golden goose.

Irony is funny that way, I think.

the players on the Michigan Roster over the last several years andover  next several years - who may venture their way onto the future Michigan football coaching staff one day:

That was a great, great football coaching staff.
