Is he still available? Since most everyone hates PJ here, how would Miles be doing with this group?
At this point I am starting to wonder why we didn't hire Kiffin. I'm still giving PJ a few years but I am not sure we will ever have a good offense again.

I don't hear too many people calling for Fleck to be fired. Fleck deserves 4 years. Les Miles hasn't been hired for a reason.
And that reason is ageism.
Miles has a career record of 141-55 and national championship.
That worked so well with Tubby Smith right?
...Bring the pitchforks out...we are in the very early stages of a sh*t in the program...rough, I like it usually...with first year coaches. Just gotta let it...out...long....
Miles is well known for his development of quarterbacks and offenses. Also for his game management.Is he still available? Since most everyone hates PJ here, how would Miles be doing with this group?
Tubby Smith was an exception, not the rule. He turned out to be a mediocre coach who caught lightning in a bottle in his first year at Kentucky (with someone else's players) and could never replicate it.
You realize you just described les miles right?
No, I didn't. I actually went back and compared their records before I posted it. Miles won a national championship in his third year at LSU, and subsequently finished six more times in the top 20 and twice more in the top 10, including a 13-1 record and #2 national ranking in his 7th year at LSU. In his last full year at LSU they finished 9-3 and were ranked 16th in the AP poll.
I know the LSU fans thought his teams underperformed. I paid some attention to his career and I would compare him more with Doug Woog than Tubby, except that the Wooger never won a national title.

We will see how well he does at the next job he has assuming he gets one
Miles just isn't charismatic enough. He could never generate the excitement and surge in ticket sales that Fleck has.
Les Miles had a good run because he was a good recruiter in a talent rich area. He was not a good X's/O's coach.
Take him out of that area and he would struggle. He would have been a bad hire here. I do wonder if a lower level SEC team will give him another shot though.

He did very well at Tulsa and at Georgia. There he had the first back to back 20 wins seasons (had to look it up) in school history, before he went to be a Head Coach at Kentucky. Took two Tulsa teams and one Georgia team to the Sweet 16 too. Understandable that people forget that, but no reason to leave it out.
Never a big fan of his at Minnesota. Always thought that the couldn't/wouldn't adjust to the direction that the "one and done" basketball world had gone too, but to ignore all his success and pretend that he was only a "mediocre" coach isn't really fair to him or correct for that matter.
Now back to the main points of the thread.
