Let's face it. Despite his Fuddish demeanor and funny way of talking Les has a lot of positives. A great recruiter and runs a clean program. If I was an athletic director looking for a football coach I would hire Miles in a heartbeat. With one major stipulation: He would be free to run the team any way he saw fit EXCEPT, I would have to hire the offensive coordinator and give him complete autonomy over the offense. He would also have to assign on of his assistants to the the game day duty of clock management coordinator.
I can see him succeeding in a smaller conference after building the team in his image; a place where he isn't playing Bama annually. Don't think the money'd be good enough for him though.
Probably the only way he gets a job. Everybody knows what a cluster phuck his offensive style is. Everybody but taint.
Apparently the word is from all of his interviews for the jobs he sought this past offseason one thing was consistent -- Les was a rambling mess of an interview. The will to compete I believe is there still, but the burning white-hot fire to win and do whatever it takes -- which includes self-analysis and then steps toward staff and self-evolution as the game too evolves -- has diminished considerably in him. He was left outside his comfort zone on that title night in 2011 when he took a beating in the post-game presser. He seemed a beaten down man. Ever since it's like his sole mission has been to prove everyone wrong that his style and methods can and will win. Reality is a cruel mistress sometimes. Eventually you wake up to her.
Would an AD hire a partial Head Coach?..has one ever been hired shackled with such stipulations?.. I doubt it,.. would Miles ever agree to such an insulting arrangement?.. I doubt that too
