The funny part about this whole "Les Miles" thing is that it's all still coming from one tweet that I have seen. There's no quotes from Miles about Oregon State specifically.
All in fun I guess
Go Beavs!

I may have misread a couple posts, but I'm pretty sure it's a done deal now and we're hiring Hall as head coach, but Hall is bringing on Baldwin as OC, Miles as DC, Tedford as QB coach. Riley consults on Wednesdays. Neuheisel will be here for the month of August for fall camp singalongs and whitewater rafting. Sounds like it really all worked out in the end for everyone. Didn't see that coming. And I heard Andersen will be the equipment manager!! Big boy pants for everyone!!  This is what my sources are saying as well. I did learn that Neuheisel will be back in March to run the College basketball bracket challenge for all comers... but the buy in price has gone up with his most recent earnings. The only other thing would be to have JS be the pass game coordinator, you left him out  |

I know that past performance is not a predictor of future results, but in the end, all you have to go on is past performance. And Miles' past performance is pretty damned good.

Definitely would be interesting. He's got FAU in first place and bringing national attention to a school no one knows or cares about. |

Yet, when presented with the news that a former NATIONAL CHAMPION WINNING COACH, a coach with a record of 114-34 in the SEC, coached two teams to 14 straight bowl games winning 8 of them, a coach of the LSU Tigers, may be interested in coaching Oregon State....he's not good enough??? He'd be a disaster? What world am I living in now? I admit that I haven't read every single post about this topic on here but I've read most of them and I'd say that the vast majority of them are very supportive of the idea that Les Miles might be interested in being the next OSU HC. As I've said before, if you try to look at all the different fans on this board as a single entity, you are going to conclude that we're pretty much crazy. We take opposite views of *everything* and passionately support all sides of every argument. In this case, I'd say that the clear majority are excited by this news (rumor) -- if for no other reason than it keeps the OSU coaching search in the news in a very positive way. And, beyond that, I think the clear majority are excited by the prospect that it could maybe actually happen that a coach of Miles' stature could end up at OSU. Of course you have some that disagree. That's the nature of message boards on any and all topics. Some disagree that Miles would be a sure-fire hit. Can't really argue with that because nothing is sure-fire. Some disagree that Miles is the best choice. Again, can't necessarily argue with that if their #1 priority is a young coach rather than an old one. It's their opinion. One (and only one that I read) predicts that hiring Miles would be a "disaster". Although that seems unreasonably negative and harsh, it's not an impossible outcome. At any rate, it is the minority opinion by far. It's certainly not right to insinuate the "Beaver fans" feel this way. That makes it seem like the majority of fans are saying it. I'd say the majority are saying quite the opposite. Go Beavs! Mike '84 |

Honestly, I've never seen that type of response on this board ever. You're a smart guy and a respected poster, so I appreciate your feedback. But I'm going to stand by my original post. |

You're a smart guy and a respected poster, so I appreciate your feedback. But I'm going to stand by my original post. I'm biased, but I think it's possible to give a big thumbs up to your post that started this thread and also agree with my post too. That's the boat I'm in. Your post has all sorts of thumbs-up-worthy sentiment in it. Thumbs up to pointing out that Beaver Fans are "funny". Thumbs up to describing our current down state of affairs and loss of hope. Thumbs up for asking if the world has gone crazy when even the news of a coach like Les Miles being interested in OSU draws some decidedly negative responses from some OSU fans. Thumbs up for saying that nothing is certain but a coach like Les Miles is sure as a heck a great place to start looking. So, I'm not surprised that your post has a growing number of thumbs up. My post was meant only to clarify it a bit for fans who hadn't read the dozens of other posts on the topic. If they read only your post they may have been left wondering why the majority of fans are down on the idea of Miles as HC. I was pointing out that the general consensus seems very favorable. And one proof of that, I think, is the number of up votes you are getting for saying what you said. Lots more up votes than any of the posts predicting that Les Miles would be a horrible choice. In short, I think we're on the same page here. The bottom line is, as always, GO BEAVS! Mike '84 |

Myself included. We are having the worst season imaginable. We suck! The only game we won, and very possibly might win all year was against a WINLESS Big Sky team, and we had to come from behind, at home, to do it!!! Most of us have been drained of hope, positivity, and overall joy from Beaver football. This is a dark time in OSU football. Yet, when presented with the news that a former NATIONAL CHAMPION WINNING COACH, a coach with a record of 114-34 in the SEC, coached two teams to 14 straight bowl games winning 8 of them, a coach of the LSU Tigers, may be interested in coaching Oregon State....he's not good enough??? He'd be a disaster? What world am I living in now? We're the disaster! To think that somehow we are entitled to stick our nose up at a coach with his credentials is truly bizarre. But to make it even more twisted, many would prefer Jeff Tedford! Or an untested coordinator. Or an interim coach with no real coaching experience, but long on energy. I'm not saying he's absolutely the guy that OSU should hire, but for heck sakes, we should all be relieved and proud that a coach like Miles even mentions Oregon State. The rest is up to the AD of course, but I'd sure as hell start there. Funny. Spud, what is funny is that a beaver fan as savvy as you can't see that Les Miles "expressing interest" in the OS job is nothing but a ruse for attention. You gotta see it for what it is. I absolutely promise not to be I Told You So when this falls out. |

Kiffin would recruit better than anyone and probably put together a better offense than anything seen in Reser in 10 years. Even if he takes off after 3 years the cupboard would be well stocked. It is always better to fire or lose a great recruiter than a great coach. Anyway that's what my duk frenemies tell me. |

I absolutely promise not to be I Told You So when this falls out. Even more funny is your "expert" opinion of what is "actually" going on. FYI... the discussion is based on several sources saying he is "interested", the merits of someone of his caliber saying as much, and his value in being the HC over other candidates. No one on this board stated anything more, nor expressed certainty about his interest. But... of course you! Cuz you know for a fact it's just a ploy for attention. Ya know, cuz OSU football is always the focal point for grabbing headlines. And, of course since there is no certainty in any hiring process if Miles isn't hired you can fall back and say you're right. Between this and the "unqualified disaster" post it's clear some people do want attention. |

It certainly would be a longshot. |

I know that past performance is not a predictor of future results, but in the end, all you have to go on is past performance. And Miles' past performance is pretty damned good. I would disagree. Past Performance is an excellent predictor of future results. Past performance does not guarantee future results. And it is also really important to make sure the past performance is compatible with your future expectations. Wayne Gretzky the player was GOAT... it did not make him GOAT as head coach of the Coyotes... he was pretty bad even. |

He isn't just a great recruiter but he knows how to coach an offense. Knowing it won't happen I wouldn't be upset by such a hire. |
