So no examples of a 64+ year old coach with no previous head coaching experience at that school being hired by a P5 program?

Like I said, he's done.

With his buyout, why would he coach again?  He could be the next Mack Brown.

And that's the other side of the coin - why even think about coaching again?  He's got a kid in school (ironically, a QB - at UNC) and more money than he can count.  Maybe he goes Gump and just cuts the grass at the local HS from now until he can no longer steer a Deere.

You may be right.  Who wants to hire a coach whose offense is stuck in the 70's?  It's more likely, however, that he will end up at one of the lower tier FCS schools or an upper echelon FBS school.  I doubt he'll make the kind of money LSU shelled out for him, though.

Just my .02.

Yeah, I think it was a mistake as well.  LSU had the whole picture except for the QB position.  What they needed was to hire an OC who was a really good scout of QB talent and really good at development.

I've never understood why Cam Cameron was considered the offensive genius that his reputation garnered. San Diego's offense put up huge numbers when he was the OC, but when you have players like Ladainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Drew Brees, and Philip Rivers it isn't like you need some wizard to figure out how to score points. I bet someone reading this could have called plays that would have put the Chargers at the NFL average in yds/game and points/game with those players.

If anything you might be able to say that Drew Brees's performance away from Cameron is an indicator of Cam Cameron being an QB developmental impediment instead of an enabler.

I've always liked Miles, but I wonder if he was too hardheaded or something. It was pretty clear they were a decent offense away from being really good again, did he just refuse to make change with Cameron? Sort of feels like they're amputating a leg because of a sprained ankle.

It's the rules changes IMHO.  The old adage was "defense wins championships."  And that was very true if you look at the old-time marquee programs like Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama (under Bear), Notre Dame, etc.  The formula was to have a superb defense and a ball control offense.  But in order for those defenses to work you had to be able to put a hit on a guy, especially receivers over the middle and the QB.  But due to player safety concerns you just can't hit players like that anymore.  That's made offense relatively more important, and you have the rise of "basketball on grass" teams like Oregon and Baylor.  Unfortunately a lot of good coaches have been caught in the middle of that change, and Les Miles is one of them.  Others were Pelini at Nebraska, about a half-dozen coaches at Michigan and Notre Dame, etc.  The only real exception to this trend has been Saban at Alabama, and that is because there is so much money at Alabama that they could react to the change by hiring someone like Kiffin and pay him what a head coach would make at many other top schools.

This is the crux of the problem.  Miles was told, more than once and most emphatically at the end of last season, that things had to change.  He said they would, and they didn't.  I am no fan of Joe Alleva (I think he needs to go too) but Miles really thought he didn't have to change.  I don't know if it was stubborness or just an inability to adapt, but it caught up to him and obviously the Athletic Department, F. King Alexander and the Board of Supervisors felt they had no choice.

Watching some youtube videos of how entitled the fans feel they are to winning a national championship every year. I think they're going to get smacked really hard by reality, that they have a monopoly on winning 11 or 12 games a year. I think for many years to come, it's going to be bad for them.

Umm ... since Nick Saban arrived in 2000, LSU has won two National Championships and finished #2 once.  

Since the same 2000 Season Michigan has not won a National Championship and has finished no higher than 6th.

LOL, this coming from the Michigan Man, pining for the glory years.  All teams have ups and downs, LSU is no different.  But expecting better performance from a coach you pay $4 million a year is not "entitlement".  Bad clock management and poor offensive performance are what did him in.  The administration and the fans have the right to expect good performance for their money.  The last 5-6 years offensive performance got steadily worse, not better.

Miles was given several opportunities to improve it but it never happened.  He either couldn't or wouldn't make the changes needed to save his job.

I got into an argument with a friend about this yesterday.  How many more years should Miles have been given to improve things?  One year, two years, three years?  No one seems to be able to answer that question.  Face it.  At some point you have to realize that things are not going to get better and make a change.  

Miles is apparently stuck in the 70's with his ground and pound offense, and is unable to do anything different.  It's on him.

Watching some youtube videos of how entitled the fans feel they are to winning a national championship every year. I think they're going to get smacked really hard by reality, that they have a monopoly on winning 11 or 12 games a year. I think for many years to come, it's going to be bad for them.





LOL, this coming from the Michigan Man, pining for the glory years.  All teams have ups and downs, LSU is no different.  But expecting better performance from a coach you pay $4 million a year is not "entitlement".  Bad clock management and poor offensive performance are what did him in.  The administration and the fans have the right to expect good performance for their money.  The last 5-6 years offensive performance got steadily worse, not better.



Miles was given several opportunities to improve it but it never happened.  He either couldn't or wouldn't make the changes needed to save his job.



I got into an argument with a friend about this yesterday.  How many more years should Miles have been given to improve things?  One year, two years, three years?  No one seems to be able to answer that question.  Face it.  At some point you have to realize that things are not going to get better and make a change.  



Miles is apparently stuck in the 70's with his ground and pound offense, and is unable to do anything different.  It's on him.

No, what I hear from LSU fans is this expectation that they should be the best team in the SEC every year. Your overall winning percentage is .650 -- not .850 or something. 3 National championships with only have 1 prior to the Saban era. And yet talking as if LSU is the premier football program in the South and has always been winning 10-11 games every year.

Nick Saban is 64 years old.  There is no way a P5 school would hire him.  


Saban hasn't been fired.





Goal line thing again?!?


1.  Do you just really enjoy pointless arguments?

2.  The metaphor is "moving the goalposts" and not "moving the goal line".

3.  Name one fired coach the age of 63+ that was hired at a P5 school with which he had no previous association.

4.  Miles certainly may coach at a FBS or G5 school in the future, but Les Miles as a P5 coach is finished.

Ditto?


I must, since I actually agree that he will not coach at a P5 school again.  

I'm done if you are.

Well, now that the purse swinging is over.....



Who thinks the polls are now close to,reality?  One more week and I think they will be close. Clemson and the Cards play. That should sort some things.


Ohio doesn't play anyone for a couple weeks....Wisky...them their next game is not until November. They have two games in a row then.


For the fan boys....yeah, I'd take your schedule any day of the week.


But I think you drop both your November games.


Ole Miss has time to climb....and Bama has time to drop.


For now, I think the NC is Loiusvilles to lose.  If they want it .....it's theirs.

Nah, Louisville will lose the first time they face a good team.

They've had a cupcake schedule so far.
