He's better than Briles and Leach!PartyBear said:
He'll be doing that regardless as to who the other coaches are. I'm curious as to why yall are so enamored with Les Miles though. Congrats to Miles btw. I just dont get why some of you are acting like Kansas just hired hired someone like Briles or Leach. I have a feeling KU will be making a coaching change again in about 4 years. I think a young offense minded coach would have been better.

I wanted BU to hire Miles in 2016. now that we have Rhule I think we got a better deal (even for $330k/game) but I still think KU just got a huge hire. The dude knows how to win and just made sure it aint getting easier to win in this conference. He will get Kansas at least to the point where they are no longer an automatic L. And that is saying a lot.

141-55 as an NCAA head coach. That is .719. Briles and Leach are both .600 coaches.
National Championship coach in 2007 and runner up in 2011.
Good grief you are eat up with it.

He's a good coach, but he won't get LSU talent at Kansas
And a two loss team won't win national title again

I love Les Miles but he inherited a very warm bed at LSU and it began to slip as Saban's recruits played out.Thee University said:He's better than Briles and Leach!PartyBear said:

Probably because we saw improvement year after year. If he had been around for one more season we certainly would have contended for a title. From the Texas Bowl to the Cotton Bowl with some great wins inbetween.DanaDane said:
If he hires the right OC, they are immediately at the mediocre level where we reside along with Tech, K State, TCU and Iowa St (with this yr being the exception). And as much as I like Briles and appreciate our 2 Big 12 championships, I wonder sometimes how his and Leach's accomplishments get severely overblown by some
of our fans. You'd think they both made the playoffs or won major bowls, neither which happened. Miles accomplishments dwarf both.

TBD. Let's see what he does with Kansas level talent.

Because he's a personality and crazy as an outhouse rat... This gaggle of coaches in this conference prob stand out as much as the 3rd round leaderboard of The Greater Hartford Open..Gundy excluded.
This is a home run hire for them..He's won a national championship for Christ's sake. This is Bobby Knight to Tech or Jimbo to Aggieland.

I did not "champion" whatever you intended that to mean.PartyBear said:
Eat up with what?? I dont recall you championing that Baylor should hire him in 16.
I suspect Miles is fired or decide to retire after year 4 with no better than a 4 win season under his belt there is more likely than duplicating his run at LSU ( top flight program he didnt have to build at all) in Lawrence. It should be noted his run at LSU was not exactly how he did at OSU (a mediocre program he took over). Maybe y'all are right perhaps he will build David Booth Memorial Stadium into a new Death Valley.
It goes way beyond winning %.Chuckroast said:Thee University said:He's better than Briles and Leach!PartyBear said:

I like Miles, but to compare and contrast Miles and Briles simply by their winning percentage is ludicrous. Miles inherited one of the best programs in the country and a true blue blood where it is so much easier to recruit the best talent.
Briles inherited one of the worst power conference teams in the country with a track record of years of futility and built them into a perennial playoff contender, albeit it was short lived.
While Miles is a great coach, LSU fans by in large believed he often underachieved because their program was that good before he got there. Briles was a true program builder.
I love that Miles will be joining the Big 12, and I will be pulling for Kansas except when they play us.

I think some of y'all equate big name with good hire. It isn't exactly the same thing. Campbell and Rhule were probably better hires than this KU hire though neither was a big name. Big name does not translate to big wins in all circumstances, especially when the big name has been out of the game for a while. Not all places are equal to recruit to.

Have you not seen Rhule before he looks like a Tony Soprano NY working class gangster on the sideline. Rhule stands out.

Almost forgot.......eat up with either the dumb@$$ or the bust your kneecaps for Briles delusional funk.
LOL Thee. Briles inherited nothing here. Miles walked into a championship team and a school that values football. Your Briles hatred has poisoned you and eliminated any rational though.Thee University said:He's better than Briles and Leach!PartyBear said:
