Les Miles sighting in downtown Kalamazoo

Submitted by I'm Batman on
My Facebook wall just went bezerk about five minutes ago with Les Miles sightings downtown. Coupled with his proclaiming to the press yesterday he was open to non power 5 positions, this seems like more than coincidence. Let the speculation, and people skewering me for having the audacity to create content begin.

Not that desperate. Maybe he's consulting for them or maybe he likes Bells beer. He's not coaching Western because he could do TV and make far more. F

As a graduate of WMU and a payer of out of state tuition for my daughter to attend the school (and she is in the marching band), I would enthusiastically support Les Miles as head football coach for the Broncos. Waldo Stadium has artificial turf though, so I can't enthusiastically endorse it as a foodstuff/pregame grazing area for Les.

Usually you want your consultants to offer some strategic advantage. Miles may be a good recruiter and CEO-type, but the primary criticism of his last few years at LSU is that he put his teams at a strategic disadvantage.

There's also the matter of the rumors regarding why he left Michigan in the first place...

There were reports that when he interviewed at Houston he showed up with a binder full of who he wants on his staff, and like one individual coach in the binder is currently making more money than all the Houston assistants combined last year. He may say he's open to non-P5, but he has no idea how to go about doing it.
