Is Louisville a step up from Purdue? I have my doubts.

I get it that it is home. It won't surprise me if he stays or goes.
Have you checked his record at Purdue anytime recent? He's barely above .500 operating out of an engineering school. Louisville would amount to a favorable reset.

I always viewed Louisville the same way we all see Kentucky, first and foremost a basketball school. I'm saying is if Brohm leaves, he probably should have taken the Vols job when offered(although I only see UT as a women's basketball school). Who knows, a few fans(pun intended) in Miami are already calling for Richt's head.

Exactly, Purdue seems a much better job than UL in football. Purdue is in a more football oriented conference. Purdue has in the past won at least a share of that conference championship a number of times. Purdue is in the Big 10 West with no Ohio State, Michigan or Penn State. UL is in the ACC Atlantic with Clemson and FSU, the latter clearly more a long term than immediate issue.

LSU won in spite of Miles. There's a reason why no one has touched him with a ten foot pole since he left.

Regardless, winning a title would have gotten him a job right away in the past. The job has changed now. The declining attendance in college football means to get a job a coach must convince a school (other than at UF apparently) that they will both win and put an attractive product on the field. Miles' problem is he was let go because LSU believed the times had passed his offense by. If you are seen as your offense is so bad you got let go in the offense challenged SEC, you have a difficult task getting a new job.

Why?

This board has been weird lately. Guys slobbing over Chump and now a Miles-slurper? I don't get it.

I think Miles did not keep up.

But he won at OKST against OK...who does that?

He is a good Coach. People are not taking him because he's old school. They want a Frost. But Miles is better than a lot who are out now coaching.

Not arguing, but he may not be looking for a coaching job. He's got to have a metric boatload of cash in the bank.

You are right, that is another way the job has changed. You leave with a ton of cash unless you behave like a 20 something in the NFL.

Good guy. No BS. He loved LSU unabashedly. He was a player's and a fan's coach. He also got a ring. His downfall was playing in Saban's division and bizarro LSU AD/Administration. He was literally LSU's Spurrier. The perfect coach for the school.

If I were Les Miles I'd get an OC like Kerwin Bell and let it rip.

I’d actually make the argument that Farmer Fran(Coach O) is the perfect coach for the school. His personality and unintelligible speech fits those coonasses to a t.

How long he sticks around there remains to be seen though.

They love him here. He is local and not only knows the culture...he is the culture.
