Exactly. This has almost no chance of working.

Nobody seems to grasp just how awful kU is as a program from top to bottom at this point.

Nobody seems to grasp that schools like LSU recruit themselves.

Nobody seems to grasp where Miles is at this point if he had to take probably the worst P5 job in the country.

Miles couldn’t get LSU to the playoff and now he’s going to take kansas there? Goodness...

I think the only people in CFB that think this is a bad hire live in Missouri

Even if Les doesn’t win a single game, this hire was worth it for PR and as a statement that Kansas is taking football seriously.

I know Les will win, though, because he’s a winner.

Herm Edwards was going to fall flat on his face, too, according to the conventional wisdom.

See if you can grasp this:

Eleven years ago yesterday, when Lester was sitting at the top of the BCS standings, who was #2?



Here...I'll help.

That part is true now, but it didn't used to be that way.

From 1980 to 1999 LSU was 40th in the Nation for winning %

From 2000 to 2017 it was 4th in winning %


Any program can be built back up, It just takes the right coaching staff and attitude

How was Mangino able to win there? KU is an impossible job for the most part.

They do now. It takes building a foundation to get it there though. Saban was the one who set that foundation and Miles continued to build it. He's no Nick Saban but if Miles is there 5+ years, he will have them a solid foundation with way more talent than they've had in the last few decades
