What's Vol nation's opinion of Les ?

I personally think he would do a good job, run a clean program, and bring everyone together. For a few years at least and be a stabilizing force.
Hopefully he has learned his lesson about his outdated offense. Would love for him to wreck shop for you guys.
P.S- I can sympathize with the shite show you've had to go through as an LSU fan, last year sucked with our coaching search.
Good luck!

I like Les, if he can bring Tee home, along with with either Steele or Chief and Austin Thomas, I'm all in

weird.. 100% agree. This is the only way id want tee. Have either cutcliff or les as HC and tee Oc/Associate HC, steele/cheif dc

I also agree. I think Les as HC and Tee as OC/HC in waiting would work well.

I think Les would be a great option.

Meh is also where I’m at with Les, especially if he brings that basic bitch offense he ran at LSU with him.
Plus he better learn how to clap if he comes here

im pretty sure any of us would trade les record at lsu over our record the past 15 years

In a heartbeat!

Les also had one of the biggest built in advantages in the industry with the cult-like in state recruiting of LA and East TX. He started to underachieve the last 2.5 years relative to having a top 3 roster in the country and that has me hesitant. Personally, I don't think he'll be able to recruit as well as he did in LA. That coupled with his offense and the fact that we will still have no shot at Alabama if he takes over has me pretty meh. I don't think he would be a bad hire, but if I'm Fulmer and starting this search from scratch, I'm making several people tell me no before he gets a serious offer.

I wouldn't hate the hire provided he had a really strong staff.
However, I don't get the stabilizing thing and I have read that a lot. Just hire somebody who will win football games and that will stabilize the program more than anything.
There are still plenty of good coaches who understand this is a really good job where you can win big, and relatively quickly.
I guess what I am saying is hiring Les Miles basically says, "hold on a few years while we figure shite out". Doesn't really seem to be a program building hire to me, but, of course, would prefer him to some garbage like Schiano or Doeren.

Very unlikely at this point IMO
I'm not crazy about the idea of hiring Les if we truly are starting the search over. Get turned down by some guys and end up back at Dorean and Steele levels? We would be lucky to have Les but I don't think we are there yet

Yeah, I think this is where I was heading with my post. If Les wants the job, then make him the absolute floor hire...I doubt any other schools will target him. You have to make those guys say no before settling imo.

We'll see how it shakes out. It sounds like Fulmer's out on the road right now. Just updated the coaching search thread at the top. There seems to be a little movement today

Ditto, I loved Les at LSU but I'd rather us look for a longer term candidate as apposed to the Rick Barnes hire (although I do love the job Barnes has done here).

I would be fine with Les. We could do a hell of a lot worse. If he is the next coach he has to change up his offense and not be stubborn with it. We saw with Butch how a stubborn coach turns out. If he can bring in Tee or another proven OC, Steele and someone who has a great track record at developing QBs(not Les' strong suit) then I'll be happy

Would rather have Leach. If Miles has opened up on offense then it is a great hire, but I doubt that he has. I also wonder how good of an offensive mind is Tee actually. USC fans are wanting him gone.

He is entertaining, and the SEC is more fun to watch when he is coaching.
