OT: Reportedly, Les Miles is interested in the Purdue job and wants to bring Sark along as OC

I get Les being interested, by why would Sark even do that when he has the inside track to the Bama OC gig when Kiffin leaves?

Brilliant. +1,000.

Seems like a huge step down from LSU. Hell, Purdue is a step down from Okie State.

Even Minnesota or Illinois seem like better stops where it's at least a semi-winnable situation in a weak B1G west.
November 18th, 2016 at 4:59 PM ^
Purdue will be hiring a head coach. Illinois and Minn probably won't. But if your point is that ILL and MINN are easier places to win we're probably dealing with opinions.

No field turf. How can Les possibly turn that down?
November 19th, 2016 at 9:01 AM ^
so Sark could drink like a fish there.
November 18th, 2016 at 4:54 PM ^
right now and I doubt there are going to be a lot of high profile jobs open next year. Go to Purdue, which is Big 10, have some decent success and he could make another jump or just be happy doing a good job there for a few more years until he retires. I think it would be a good move for him.
November 18th, 2016 at 5:29 PM ^
They don't have a program, but that didn't stop them from apparently joining the Pac-12
November 18th, 2016 at 8:14 PM ^
lol, what the heck?
November 18th, 2016 at 6:11 PM ^
Les was not getting it done at LSU, but he's still overqualified for Purdue. He can do better.
Not Oregon better maybe, but better than Purdue.
November 18th, 2016 at 6:26 PM ^
Not so sure about that. His age along disqualifies him from most jobs. He is seen in most circles as someone who underachieved in recent years and is decidedly on the downslope of his career, which eliminates a bunch more schools. He is not going to take a job that doesn't pay Power 5 dollars. The options for him will be very limited.

Everything you say is true, but he also went 114-34 at LSU. That's a 77% winning percentage over that period, which is better than that of 60 of the other 63 (Alabama, OSU and TCU) Power5 schools during the time he was at LSU. I don't know. That's a lot of winning. Quirky but well liked by fans, no major NCAA issues, hires good assistants. I mean, he's not who I would hire. He's probably not going to get hired by a Texas but I think he can get a job like UCLA or something that is clearly superior to Purdue.

and for 2017 recruits they've always been good,
They can try to buy their Mork.
November 18th, 2016 at 7:31 PM ^
November 18th, 2016 at 4:44 PM ^
I think he should pass.

November 18th, 2016 at 4:47 PM ^
pizza is better than fritos
November 18th, 2016 at 4:51 PM ^
Is it better than hot wings?

Les called in to WTKA this afternoon and talked with Jamie Morris on M Zone.
November 18th, 2016 at 4:49 PM ^
Somehow I see this as Ron Zook: The Sequel.
November 18th, 2016 at 5:19 PM ^
November 18th, 2016 at 5:31 PM ^
Hey, Zook's Illinois somehow managed a Rose Bowl appearance
November 18th, 2016 at 6:17 PM ^
They were Juicin'.
November 18th, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
the Alabama gig is not open yet and if wants something like that he needs to get back to coaching and this would be a good step for him.
November 18th, 2016 at 5:03 PM ^
I guess sark really does like boilermakers!
November 18th, 2016 at 5:34 PM ^
Stay away from these at all costs.
This is worse than ipecac syrup.
November 18th, 2016 at 5:35 PM ^
I wonder if his nickname is cutty....

If not, the Purdue job pays a lot better and looks better on his resume than what he's doing there.
November 18th, 2016 at 4:59 PM ^
Purdue may get recent Northwestern good, but that's it. They aren't loaded with a lot of talent in the pipline.
November 18th, 2016 at 6:40 PM ^
This feels like a Dennis Erickson to ASU, or a Charlie Weis to Kansas, or a Brady Hoke to anywhere type of bad idea, but I am all for it in every which way.
