re: What are the odds we get Les Miles

if you don't think any of them come then Les miles is an absolute no.

If the 1 year ban somehow stands i think we have a decent chance to get any of those guys if they like money. 2 years and we might as well keep Matt Luke another year. No decent coach will sign themselves up for a year of terrible recruiting and no players left.

We're not getting anyone Ala, Fla St or Clemson would consider.

That being said, Miles would be an uninspired hire (though I bet he would take the job). His performance declined in his later years at LSU

Agree..completely

Fact of the matter is it's very difficult to judge a hire until after that hire has or has not produced. Never been a better example of hindsight being 20/20 than the hiring of a college football coach.

Two issues with this:

1) It's no coincidence. The SEC West Meatgrinder isn't where an up and coming hotshot coach wants to make a name for himself. He is better doing that in the B10 or the ACC. Where he doesn't have Bama, Auburn, LSU etc in back to back weeks.

2) You are confusing Cause and Effect. Those guys aren't winning just because they are good coaches. They're winning because they're not in the SEC. Butch stomped dick at Cincinnati. Send him back there and he will probably stomp even more dick.

A good team in a weak conference is a great job. A bad team in the toughest conference in football is not a good job.

We have the least appealing job, on its merits, in the country. The ONLY thing we have going for us is being able to offer $4-5 million a year. But the coach that takes that contract is doing so thinking that it is the last major contract he will ever sign. That is the reason the buyouts are so big. $12-15 million buyouts? That's crazy. Until you realize that guys like Nutt, Freeze, Butch, Bert, O, etc may never sign another major deal after this one. Go 4-8 a couple of times and they will lynch you down here.

90% of the coaches out there see Ole Miss as a dead end job.

Careful Tigerbait, there are many in here that think he isn’t even worthy of an interview

Want someone whose out to prove themselves (probably never been a HC) and has energy (like Luke or Orgeron) and has an air raid offense.

When does Luke have energy? He must use it all up before the games because he seems to just stand there with his thumbs up his arse waiting on the games to end.
