Well, the grass in the Grove is delicious. I hear it's bourbon infused.**

Yeah, Les would be a 6-7 win coach per year at ole miss if they weren't allowed to cheat. Imagine Les with average talent on his team vs the top 5 classes he had at LSU..

[TUSK]

Imagine Les with 55 three star scholarship players on his team vs the top 5 classes he had at LSU..

He was a 7-5, 8-4 coach at OSU. His future recruiting classes at OM would make those OSU teams look like LSU talent.

Good one!

If the Network survives I just wonder if Miles would fit their criteria. He is not a Coach O and definitely not a Freeze for sure. I tihnk he pretty much recruited the right way but I may be wrong. I would match him up closer to a Cutcliffe at OM, on wanting to do recruiting the right way.

[Pollodawg]

I wish Les would take it. Would love to rack up some wins verses him. He'd be Nutt 2.0 just doing time and drawing a check.

[Todd4State]

I don't know why he or anyone would take that job. Surely there's a Sun Belt or MAC job with a team that isn't on probation that will be open this winter.

They're going to pay the next guys $4+ million per year. Someone's going to take that job- and odds are he will be a pretty respectable coach. If it is Miles, please let him bring Cam Cameron and the Bo Schembechler offense with him. That would be hilarious.

Of course, if the sanctions are as bad as they could be, Miles won't touch it. Floating your name in the media for a job that won't officially be hiring for 5 months is a lot different than taking over said job after the school won't be able to play in the postseason for another two years, lose 35-40 scholarships, and have to compete with Nick Saban in the process... Especially when you're 64 years old, already loaded, and this will be the last job you ever have.

[Homedawg]

Les will be perfect. He's an idiot.

[RougeDawg]

Yea but does he sport a closet full of pastel colored ascots? That will be the deciding factor in hiring OM's next football puppet.

You sure they will pay $4 Mill? They are about to take a financial hit so it will be interesting to see how much they will have to pay.

Until sanctions are over or nearing the end, it'd be stupid for ole miss to pay any coach $4+M/year. Save the money and weather the storm, you're already taking a financial hit (boosters drop out, ticket sales drop, bowl money disappears, etc), and even the best coach isn't gonna win shit for awhile. Likewise, it would also be stupid for any coach on an upward trajectory to take the job until sanctions are over or nearly overly, knowing that even saban would struggle to average 4-8 over the next 3+ seasons at ole miss. Plus programs usually like to hire someone "fresh" when they are coming off sanctions to rejuvenate and excite the program. It's hard to get excited for a coach that's been going 3-9 for 3 or 4 seasons, even if he's the next coming of saban and the 3-9 records are totally justified given the circumstances. Ole miss would be smart to just let matt Luke run the show until they are coming off sanctions. He'd be cheap, he's an ole miss guy, and ole miss might get lucky and hit on the next great HC. And if he isn't the next great HC, they didn't waste a bunch of money and they can simply put that money into hiring a better option when the freeze stink has worn off and sanctions are ending.

It's not the money there that makes the job unattractive. It's the fact that you have to deal with their Network and do their bidding.

You mean recycled infused.
