Could Les Miles Be A Candidate For The Ole Miss Job?

by Staff Reporter

Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports

Former Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze resigned effectively immediately on Thursday night after school officials found a pattern of phone calls to a number associated with a female escort service.

Athletic director Ross Bjork met with the media following Freeze's resignations and said that assistant head coach Matt Luke, who also serves as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, will be named interim head coach.

While Luke will serve as a short-term solution to keep the team together as they start fall camp and the 2017 season, many have already started suggesting candidates to take over the Ole Miss job full-time.

One of those names is former LSU coach Les Miles...

Please yes

That would be pretty cool IMO

Rebel•81 months

They might be smart to consider Les as AD. Integrity needs to start at the top.

TigerSpray•81 months

If Vitter there is the same as our Vitter here, he should fire himself or edge himself to resign in front of a blind skunk with no legs that he's trying to lick his arseh@le (like David Vitter).

Whynotme•81 months

I think the whole ole Miss offense would ask for a transfer if that happened.

BDJ•81 months

Please keep your remedial arse mouth shut.

Whynotme•81 months

Really, Brain Dead John.

Shea Patterson: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"!

Whynotme•81 months

LMAO!

Lexman1•81 months

I have to say this makes sense. Les would stabilize the program and get them through the scandal and impending punishment that is coming. He is very good in this capacity. I would love to play Ole Miss with Les at the helm!

blueboy•81 months

I wonder what they were doing looking at his phone records. I know Ole Miss is being hammered by the NCAA, but damn, son. That's why you get a burner.

DeafVallyBatnR•81 months

Houston Nutts attys were the ones who were bringing it up per SI.

JustinT37•81 months

Should have used bleach bit and hammers!!

TigerSpray•81 months

Secretary sold him out....

Jones•81 months

Ole Miss doesn't deserve Miles

PsychTiger•81 months

While I didn't want Mikes as our coach anymore, I never hated him. If he goes to Ole Miss, he's Tiger Bait!!!

TigerSpray•81 months

I'll root for him to beat Saban, as long as we stomp a mudhole in them, ha ha ha.

CalTiger53•81 months

Ole Miss maybe the only school in a major conference who hires Miles.

BayouBengal99•81 months

All those people asking to please let Miles take over might be surprised at what type of team he puts together there at OM. Of course it wouldn't count for anything but that's when Les is at his best, when there isn't a thing to lose and he lets it fly. He just got comfortable here at LSU. I dont thing he would be the same type of coach at OM. Will still be hard to recruit against sanctions though. Good luck

Chuker•81 months

If he takes the job then doesn't that release LSU from paying him a bunch of money?

kjntgr•81 months

Would never work, ole miss has Astro turf

Whynotme•81 months

Really, Brain Dead John.

Brummy•81 months

They switched back to grass last year.

Whynotme•81 months

Really, Brain Dead John.

Prog•81 months

he could, he should, and he would if he wasn't already getting paid significant gwop form LSU for his buyout.

atltiger6487•81 months

it's not about money. Even without the buyout, Les already had more money than he could ever spend. It's about what he wants to DO with his time. If coaching is what fulfills him inside, he'll coach again.

CRDNLSCHMCPSN11•81 months

Why would he step into a mess like this when he could find a better job in a year?

tigerpawl•81 months

CLM will never coach in D1 Football again.

Lexman1•81 months

What makes you think he can find a better job next year. He was passed over by several lesser schools this year. I think if offered, he would jump at the chance to continue coaching in the SEC. I just don't think he will be a candidate for the gig.

Soft_Parade•81 months

If Les would have "butt dialed" the wrong number, would have saved the university and foundation a truckload of money.

Hugh Frieze: "was that wrong? Should I not have done that?"

BowDownToLSU•81 months

You're fired George

Tiger1988•81 months

Kelly.

FLObserver•81 months

If he does get the job please let him bring Cam Cameron back and run that same crappy offense we ran for most of the time he was here

TigerSpray•81 months

Shea Patterson would crap a brick, ha ha ha. Would he then transfer to LSU? ha ha ha.

timm6971463•81 months

It was a good offense and it worked , without official interference he would have had a couple more NC s
