Coaching Carousel

Les Miles has made it clear that he wants to continue coaching. Immediately in my mind I wondered, what if UC hired Les Miles?

Obviously we're not officially in the market for a new HC and we're probably not high on his wishlist while we're still in the AAC but things also have a tendency to change very quickly. I'm sure if I told you after BJ left that Tommy T was going to leave Texas Tech to come to UC you'd have told me to lay off the drugs. Now Tuberville hasn't worked out the way many of us hoped which is why I think the question of Les as a potential candidate is an interesting one.

For the sake of this thread let's assume UC is looking for a coach and Les is interested? Would you want him??

I don't know if I'd want him honestly. His offense is always bad and it never changes. He might win 10 games a year though, so that'd be tough to turn down. I guess I'd say that he wouldn't be my top choice, but I wouldn't be that upset either.

I don't post often, but when I do, its because of a post like this. You take him immediately son!

I'd take him today over Tuberville. Ultimately what this team needs is another good, young hungry coach.

Now another hypothetical since I thought about this after notre dames start. If Kelly got fired would you hire him back? I say no way, but I can't lie and say I would be completely upset.

I'd still take P.J. Fleck as my #1 choice.

You take Miles or Kelly in a heart beat over what we have now.

If we are going down this road I take a hard look at JT. Believe his show cause expires after 2016 and he has great recruiting ties to Ohio

I don't get why people (and not people on this board, I've heard it on a few podcasts too) are talking about Brian Kelly being on the hot seat. Are they never allowed to have a down year?
