Oh no they didn't!
There are some rumblings that Arkansas is offering a million more a year than Les is making at LSU to come there....

Oh no they didn't!
Would he even consider that? Why take a step down for more money?

Re: Oh no they didn't!
Who would LSU replace him with? Here's a fun list.Bud Lee wrote:There are some rumblings that Arkansas is offering a million more a year than Les is making at LSU to come there....
Bobby Petrino: Like him or not, the guy can coach and recruit at a high level. He may end up somewhere else in the SEC anyway.
Bo Pellini: Former LSU assistant. Not real impressed with Bo. Good coach, but not great. It seems like he should be doing better at a school with a history like Nebraska. Especially since they've moved into a weaker conference. He may be in the Big-10 championship game, but he could also easily have had 4 losses if he'd played a Big-12 schedule. His sideline temperament is eerily similar to Mike Stoops too. Ugh.
Gary Crowton: A lot of people at LSU (and Oregon) weren't impressed with Crowton as their offensive coordinator. Still, he helped LSU win the NC while he was there. He also had a 12-0 season when he was the head coach at BYU.
Bob Stoops: His name comes up every time a big time program needs a new coach. Still, I don't see him leaving Oklahoma.
Of course, this is all just talk. I'm sure LSU is scrambling to up the ante to keep Les as we speak. Still, you have to wonder how high they'd be willing to go?
Keeping an eye on this one.

I just posted this for fun, no way Les would leave before his kids finished school.SuperDuck wrote:Who would LSU replace him with? Here's a fun list.Bud Lee wrote:There are some rumblings that Arkansas is offering a million more a year than Les is making at LSU to come there....

But just for the hell of it...
Crowton: no way, the AD would have to run for his life after that higher
Stoops: Never leaving Okie
Pellini: I would love to have him here if Les left, I think apart of his problem is the talent he has been getting.
Petrino : Screw that dick...and I don't even care about the 25 year old f'buddy...he is a dick without that

Still don't get why this is even a story. Miles would literally be the dumbest coach ever if he left LSU. I get the more money thing, but my god lol. Go from a team that was in the natty last year to a team coming off a dumpster fire of a season. The day he goes to Arky is the day we pull Meyer from Ohio State if Chip leaves.

Re: Oh no they didn't!
Arkansas has a lot of talent. Petrino recruited some good young players there. They were 10-2 and in a BCS Bowl two years ago. The main reason they stunk it up this year is because of John L. Smith. They had BCS quality talent. He just sucks as a head coach.Duck24 wrote:Still don't get why this is even a story. Miles would literally be the dumbest coach ever if he left LSU.

Les Miles could take that talent and 1-2 recruiting classes and win the SEC. I'm not saying he "will", I'm just saying he "could".

Re: Oh no they didn't!
Arkansas thinks way to much of themselves and where the stand in the football universe. Why would a guy leave LSU for Ark? That's just a stupid move, like if Kelly went to Arizona.

Re: Oh no they didn't!
But a source told ESPN on Wednesday that there has been mutual interest between Miles and Arkansas, although a deal likely will not happen.sactoduck916 wrote:Then you have this from espn:

Mutual interest and Arkansas is offering him a hell of a raise but it isn't going to happen? I question ESPN's source.
