Les Miles fired

[gnats67]

Some dumb ole woman. Thomson at the forefront.

 

[gtnc72]

Grab Dabbo and Drad (back to the future at LSU) in a package deal.

Because a single loss per season at Houston will keep you out of the playoffs. A single loss @ LSU and you get the benefit of the doubt.

A 3 loss season gets you a pink slip at LSU and a statue at Houston.

Houston is a great position right now: great recruiting, easy conference, and winning makes you playoff eligible. It would be different if he was at a school that hampered his ability to recruit or where a perfect season kept you out of the top 10.

Lol mortgage the stadium would get them about 50k.. Still need alot more... I know of two alums neither of which would give $3

oh shit your two alums is def representative of the entire alumni base

 

[olgoldandwhite]

Glad dwags didn't get him last year.

 

[erikill]

They can try for a swap with Saint Richt

oh öööö your two alums is def representative of the entire alumni base

Houston is the GSU of Houston - very large, not that difficult to get into, near downtown, historic commuter college that added dorms in last 10 years, lots of part time/night students.

If GSU went from nationally irrelevant to suddenly Top 10, do you think alumni would care?

oh öööö your two alums is def representative of the entire alumni base

Anyone that thinks uh can come up with half the cash as lsu has gone full retart

What you taking bout gnats?

 

[BuzzLaw]

What you taking bout gnats?

Gnats is one of my favorite posters on here. I have no idea what he is talking about half the time.

 

[JJacket]

Grab Dabbo and Drad (back to the future at LSU) in a package deal.

I could actually see that happening

 

[JJacket]

Of course, Petrino is a hell of a coach.

 

[MeatWrench]

Wow, the were not waiting until the end of the year I guess. That is humiliating. Wonder where he goes from here

USCw is the only big time pending vacancy I see. Maaaaaaybe OU

 

[andrew]

Why would Tom Herman leave Houston? Low expectations, high potential, high reward there. It's the exact opposite at LSU

Because LSU is the big time and Houston is a mid major. Yes, if his singular goal is job security, he should stay at Houston. But no matter how much he wins there, it won't be the same as coaching night games in Baton Rouge or playing in the SEC championship game in Atlanta. I don't know if he'll leave for LSU, but I would bet a lot that he will leave for a P5 opportunity at a major program within the next five years.

 

[Dirty Jacket]

UGA, USCe, USCw, Miami, UT-ish, LSU-ish were all vacant last season and Herman's name was tied to all of them to some degree and he re-upped at Houston. It seems like he is waiting for a specific job. Not sure anyone but him and his family know what he is waiting for, but I doubt it's Houston.

 

[cyptomcat]

mid-season firings are dumb. Les deserves to finish out the season.

They were afraid he could get a winning streak going...

 

[BarrelORum]

mid-season firings are dumb. Les deserves to finish out the season.

No one is going to take that job when they let a coach go like that.

 

[ramblin' wagon]

I called that yesterday, Kelly's jobs saving move

IMO Brian Kelly is still gone at the end of the season.

 

[andrew]

No one is going to take that job when they let a coach go like that.

Miles, who has coached LSU since 2005, leaves with a 114-34 overall record and a national title won in 2007. Since the start of the 2013, LSU has gone 15-11 against SEC opponents.

If that's what gets you fired...
