Since being fired by LSU in late September, Miles has experienced a season of unexpected moments. He's filled his days by preparing himself for a return to the sideline next season, studying hours of film and attending more of his four kids' sporting events. With time for reflection and self-evaluation, Miles has honed in on an explicit goal for next season. He wants to be a head coach again at a place where he can win conference and national championships. "I want you to know something," said Miles, who turns 63 next week. "I have 10 or 12 years left in me. There's plenty of energy in this body. I'm not a guy who lends himself to excesses, and I have great health. Let's go find us a place where the school wants to invest and win. And I say, 'Let's go!'"
Miles spends his days in a condo that doubles as a makeshift office three blocks from his old office on campus. He's been studying film, including the dynamic offenses of Baylor, Tulsa and Western Michigan. He's focused on evaluating young coaches and coordinators to help put together his next staff. And Miles will be heading to a handful of NFL facilities the next few weeks to continue gathering strategy and ideas.
The energy from Miles surged through the phone in a lengthy interview Monday night. He said he's open to evolving on offense, would focus even more on quarterback development in his next stop and stressed that he's been thrilled that LSU has won three consecutive games since his dismissal. "I've watched every snap on TV," Miles said. "Rooting like hell.

Les will fail quite embarrassingly at his next gig.

LSU should rehire Miles after he has completed his research IMO FWIW

Not really. I just hope for LSU to do well. Just an educated guess.

We'll see what happens. I don't see any Top 20 team hiring him.

There you go Tennessee.

He was also quoted, in response to coaching again, : " I have the want , to have the desire to orchestrate my potential, to achieve wins for the football team who invests in the acquisition of my abilities to set forth in motion my determination to put on that coaches hat one more time and fight like hell."

I'd be shocked if Baylor didn't hire Les. I think he'll do a good job too. Still, I'm glad LSU parted ways with Les.

Miles is going to feast for VOLS

I'm sure he'll be a wonderful replacement for Houston Nutt 2.0

UT could and has done much worse than Les Miles.

I would take him in a heartbeat. Great recruiter, had great connections, and as long as he was willing to somewhat modernize his offense I think he'd do very well here. Would probably win the East 3-4/5 years.

Plot Twist:
Miles and Cam will become experts in HUNH and are rehired by LSU after an extensive yet failing effort to find a new coach

I think he'll be very successful if he surrounds himself with the right coordinators.

Would be a home run hire for Tennessee

We have not been in a position to where clocks are an issue at UT for quite some time
