How mad would LSU fans be if Les Miles takes Kansas to the playoffs?

Don't act like it can't happen. The Big 12 is weak. Miles can recruit too.

So if Miles can get some decent players to Lawrence and then win some big games in the Big 12 in his style, watch out.

LSU fans will make reasons up though and declare Coach O as their best friend.

I hope he shuts out some of those offenses, he will recruit a defense, and that is what I always wanted to see somebody in the Big 12 focus on.

Easy to recruit to Baton Rouge

Tough to recruit to Lawrence

I don’t see why people think this is a huge deal. Miles will have KU going 4-8 or 6-6 and all they can celebrate are wins over Kansas State

It would take Saban 3 full years to even get them back to respectability. Miles is 65 and his “style” (with the kind of recruits kU can get) will get absolutely creamed in the Big 12.

He’ll have done a good job if he can get a couple 6 win seasons by the time he is 70.

CFP? LOL!

I wouldn’t be mad... hell I’ll probably be there wearing a Kansas shirt and cheering for them if the playoff game is in Nola, Atlanta or Dallas

LSU fans have 2 teams now, life is good!

Geaux Jayhawks! Les... love that guy

I hope Les tears it up at Kansas.

I even hope Dinardo has a career rebound.

Barrett Sallee said this morning that Lester would do no better than Weis, because Les has never evolved offensively to the current college game, and that's ultimately why he got fired at LSU. He did say Miles would recruit well to Kansas.



You know who hasn't evolved to modern football? The Big-12. They haven't won a national championship since 2005, primarily because they absolutely refuse to evolve on the defensive side of the ball.

If Miles can recruit even halfway decently by his standards and bring some big boy defense tonthe Big 12, he will be successful. College Football Playoffs? Meh...probably not. But be in contention for Big 12 championships? Absolutely.

I think it would be cool if Miles took Kansas to the playoffs. I hope he does.

I hope he has success but I don't see more than 7 wins while he coaches there. And I don't see him coaching past 70 years old.

No it can’t happen. Kansas isn’t Louisiana in terms of fertile recruiting ground. Les doesn’t have the LSU “brand” behind him anymore. Kansas is a bottom feeder in the B12.
Les will pick up enough 3 stars from Texas, Louisina etc to achieve the same level success he had at Oklahoma State but nothing more.

HailHailToMichigan gets credit for this great line:

The presser is starting late for some reason.

Looks like the time management issues are already starting.

I'm pulling for him to do well and fully expect him to. Most of all I'm looking forward to seeing a few high-flying Big 12 offenses get humbled by some "old man football". But the playoffs? Get the frick outta here.

It can't happen. A younger Bill Snyder could win there. Mike Leach could win there. Les ain't Snyder nor is he Mike Leach. A great young coach like Brohm or Matt Campbell who is at a lower tier or a no holds barred, go getting assistant was the call. This was and is a lazy hire by an idiot AD.

I don’t really know if they’d be mad. Regardless, would it be an NCAA violation to take the team to the playoffs? And if not, does the athletics department spring for flight, rooms and tickets? Are they allowed to get the players concessions? I mean, if I’m going to watch the playoffs I’m gonna at least want some .

I met Les and his family on a hunt right after he was fired. Great guy. Hope he does well at Kansas.
