Than goodness. I didn't want him at Nebraska.

Low pressure low expectation gig might be just right for Le

 

Right now anyway after having spent years in the pressure cooker.

That would honestly be a complete and utter home run hire for Oregon State if they're able to get Miles.  That being said, I do like the direction of the program under their interim HC.  They're hopelessly outgunned but their still playing tremendously hard.

Wondering why a thread about a former LSU coach going to Oregon St is in the NEBRASKA FOOTBALL rumors.

Assuming the question is not tongue-in-cheek, I'll connect the dots.

 

His kid is on the Cornhuskers roster.
Nebraska is expected to be in the market for a Head Coach.
He is a hire who would fill many with hope for the program.

His saying that he is interested in the Oregon State job is a KIND way of saying he is open to offers from any school (like Nebraska, who has not yet fired their current head coach).

The question was not tongue in cheek.  Should be moved to the "Other Sports" forum

Les and I have 2 things in common. 

 

1) We both would like to get a Power 5 head coaching job

2) We are not going to be hired by Oregon St

The real question is why would Oregon St. be interested in Les Miles? Rumor has it their greatest head coach in program history will be available in a few weeks!

here's the thing about Les. 

he was never able to develop a quarterback and was a good OC and QB coach away from staying dominant there... people forget that he played his ball under Bo Schembecler.. heavy running game, not much passing game, and a dominant defense.... the game has evolved and he CHOSE not to evolve with it... thus his current situation..

I've seen it in games that he's coached... other than jemarcus Russell, he's never had anything close to a developed quarterback... and most that Russell did was pure talent because he was very lazy.

Sorry.  I totally agree with you on Miles.  He was a complete failure at coming up with a competent offense.

 

I was referring to what Nebraska is trying to do on offense.

Alabama seems to do fine with ground and pound and great D. They don't change what they do bc of what is going on around them. They punch you in the mouth.
