What coach should I do next?
Mike Gundy
Mike price. From wazzu to Tuscaloosa. Partied too hard and eventually led to the hiring of Saban
I'd like to see a video about What Happened to Matt Leinart. or What Happened to Tyrone Prothro.
Mike norvell from Florida State
Do a video on the 2007 college football upsets
KU should just say screw it and hire that coach who never punts.
hahah
The coach that never punts is really good though but he is going to be trash at closing close games
A talented coach and threw it all away for some college chicks. Reminds me of Bobby Petrino with the razorbacks.
It's almost the exact same just throw in a motorcycle accident and it is.
@@MrGamer354 BINGO
I forgot about that until you reminded me🥺
There’s also a video about petrino on this channel
@@emperorpalpatine2531 really?
The main thing I remember is how he kept holding up LSU for new contracts before the old one was near being concluded and LSU foolishly giving him new contracts with huge buyouts as his results were diminished!
Foolishly is the exact proper word I wish I could turn my foolishness into 15 million
I remember trying to eat grass because I saw les miles do it
wow
Amazing dude
This is great!
Like Project Pat said ( Yous a dam fool)
Tpvn monkey see monkey do
Perspective of Les Miles from an LSU fan:
-He was a fantastic recruiter (Retrospective: Hot Blondes will do that. I married a brunette, but I get that looks matter. Cite the Hooters Hiring Clause and tell detractors to pound sand)
-He had a personality. That’s good considering a lot of coaches are utterly boring.
-He was lucky (fantastic recruiting will give you that)
-Exciting to watch (On one hand, could take #1 Alabama into Overtime. On the other, needed the largest comeback in school history to beat unranked Troy)
-Horrible clock/last minute management. (2016 Auburn may have killed us, but there was Tennessee 2010, Ole Miss 2009, and a few end of game drives at home against Alabama, where a stop means a win)
-The Offense. It was College Football’s equivalent of Jose Mourinho; park the bus and maybe we will get a goal and a win instead of a los. Utterly boring play calls (My Dad called it the R2P2 Offense. Run for 2, Run for 2, Pass for 2, Punt), with the occasional flashes of athletic brilliance. Clemson (Even Pre-Championship-Contender) beats a team 70-6, and we probably beat the same team 41-10 in an ugly game, and 14 of our points come from garbage time. 2019 LSU was a perfect example of what happens when the right coaching personnel are in place to extrude the best from their recruited talent. Les never had both.
2011 was the peak of what a les miles lsu team could be and even then their offensive gameplan was straight out of 1995
I went to about 95% of the games during this mans tenure and this is very accurate.
There was something fun about Les when we’d get a team with some high flying offense and just grind them to a pulp with stone wall defense and a deep stable of running backs
Very focused and clear I like the R2P 2 classic and clever really stunning but not everybody sees it the way you do which is the way I see it also I’ve almost got in fights at parties before talking about how crummy less miles was, as usual I ended up the bad guy the big bad wolf for having an opinion
and Oregon State as well
Love ur videos man dont let the views discourage u, just keep on pumping out the great content!
appreciate it!
The one thing that Les experienced as a coach that usually dooms most longtime coaches is the law of diminishing returns. One you've used one philosophy, one gameplan, and one way of coaching for so long once you're found out it becomes easier and easier for teams to plan for you. People always talk about how Bama's coaching staff is gouged every single year but the silver lining in that is it forces adaptive thinking and the search for a new philosophy in the search of new voices for a new team each year. In Les's case he got too comfortable and quickly fell behind an SEC that was quickly changing from a traditional run heavy style where the game was won in the trenches to one that focused on more spread option passing attacks. Just look at the caliber of quarterbacks lsu fsced at the beginning of mile's tenure then at the end and you can see the difference. Then look at the quarterbacks Les himself fielded.
Your insight is very clear also it’s important to be able to adapt and change things during the game like at halftime are even before halftime if you’re on the ball run run pass punt ,run run pass punt get so old so quick, and he treated Jerrit Lee terribly as well after Jerrit went to Oregon and beat Oregon the first game of the year
@@ljbull33 they didnt go to oregon, the game was not in oregon.
@@detectif1061You’re correct. Game was in Dallas.
That intro is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my dude. Another amazingly done video!!
Nobody that does this kind of research into a story to build their content should go unrewarded. It'll be a matter of time when your channel will get back to its regular number of viewership. Keep grinding. 👌
Appreciate it man! I’ll never give up and stop adapting
He could have started real research by learning how to correctly pronounce Les instead of Lez.
Lol no youtube has a shitty system it's all luck based
@@Merino33 That's true. But it also helps your views out when it's actually football season. It's a lost cause hoping for high views on a video about Les Miles getting the axe at Kansas in the middle of March, for Chrissakes! The guy hasn't been relevant in 5 years, and Kansas has never been relevant in any sport that isn't played on a basketball court.
The kind of research that makes you say LSU beat Texas A&M in a bowl game in 2015? Even though A&M was in the SEC by 2015 and LSU beat Texas Tech in that bowl game. It’s the little things.
It sounds like Les Miles has More Miles on him then we thought.
I'm sorry that your numbers are down there Scott. I'm sure it's just because football season is over. Keep going your videos are very informative and I enjoy them and I will keep watching.
Suggestion... there was some players that weren't tagged today and became free agents. Maybe pick the best free-agent right now in the NFL and do a College profile on him.
Thank you so much man! And great idea, let me look at a list!
It's not tragic when self inflicted ._. Scandal didn't ruin him, his behavior did.
Just need to point out that The investigation found the worst allegations were inconclusive. There’s still no concrete evidence that definitively proves he did the worst things he’s accused of.
@@t.k.1319 concrete proof?
Bruh, the head football coach (who is married) has no legitimate reason for meeting with female students off-campus, BY HIMSELF. I don't need evidence that he conducted himself in a manner against the basic code of conduct for staff at a school/university.
You're not required to believe these women nor that he is guilty of a crime. But I need you to consider that these allegations look really bad for the face of a national FB program.
So, if he did NOTHING wrong, why leave and not fight these accusations? Apparently, he did nothing wrong @ Kansas so why leave if everything was "inconclusive"?
You know there's some truth here....
@@iluvdissheet "female students"?
You make it sound like that these students are in Middle School.
#Newsflash.
These , are 18 year olds and up!
Not 15 year olds and down!
Which, Legal Age Laws by the way, are from 18 to 16. Not 18! It ranges from State to State.
If the students had agreed to be with him without no complications, then that means it's #legit!
@@borla4491 That's your point?
You're either young, naive or an LSU FAN 🤣😂
Idk why you think "female students" means middle school. That was your 1st mistake. No one is accusing him of being with underage females.
So I looked it up, age of consent in Louisiana is 17. By your logic, if he was a 67-yo HS coach, he could date the head cheerleader as long as she was 17 because its "legit" as you said, even if he's married.
The 2nd mistake you made is not understanding that #Newsflash its inappropriate for staff to date students regardless of age. Now, im not being an old fart. Idc if he prefers 20 yo women. Im sure there are plenty of young women who would date him. But he called these meetings "mentoring", as if he was meeting with them in a professional capacity. Seriously? Why lie?
I don't think its crazy that if the head coach of a nationally recognized FB team, wants to cheat on his wife, he could find someone not associated with his school but I guess thats just crazy talk.
@Fred Wright aww. Can't handle the facts?
Don't worry, your school will eventually bounce back if you make better hiring choices.
I think your views may have dipped from uploading multiple videos in a week. your most viewed videos have a week between them, plus it’s not football season. maybe you’re getting the bad end of the algorithm stick, love the channel been a sub for a while now keep up the hard work!!
Love these long style videos! Another cool coach video would be Ralph Friedgen
Great suggestion!
As a LSU alum & fan.. his ‘’popularity’’ declined a lot in his last 3 years at LSU.. most fans grew tired of him and was ready for a fresh start. Also, when I was in school (from 2011-2014) there were rumors around campus of him cheating on his wife with some of the female students..
#FACTS
Yo amazing video
It’s not tragic. What’s tragic is LSU decided money was more important than firing him for cause...
Dope. Keep it up.
ayyy!
You put a lot of work into this video!Great job!Geaux Tigers 🐯
Imagine consistently winning 10 games per year and being on the hot seat.
Imagine basing your opinion around the media’s opinion of a coach. They kept saying ten wins, ten wins. When you only look at wins and losses, it’s easy to think he’s a good coach but watching games tell a different story than the final score. Miles was fired from LSU because he was trash!! Unprepared for games, horrible clock management, stale offense and never had answers for why his team lost. Sure He won a natty but his success at LSU was clearly due to a roster full of talent that he wasted. Unfortunately for him, The game started to pass him and his 4 play offense by. Dude was quoted saying, you have to keep doing something until it works. Which is exactly what he did in the Bama game with Fournette. Completely screwed Fournette out of the heisman by being stubborn and continuously running him into a stacked box, basically a brick wall. I think 7 had something like 8 rushing yards after multiple carries by the end of the first half and Miles still didn’t get a clue. Dude was an idiot and is trash without a stacked roster. just take a look at his record at Kansas without the type of roster he had at LSU.
@@VudooChild it’s clear you are a fan. All I am saying, as someone who is not a fan of LSU, 10 wins a year is successful. Try being a fan of a program that hasn’t seen that success in a generation. Remember, not a lot of teams have beaten Alabama in the last 15 years. Probably should stay realistic with your expectations.
@@lowers1987 these expectations are based around the talent we get. If we’re recruiting at a high level, then the expectations to be able to compete and win are extremely high compared to if your team is at the bottom of recruiting. At LSU, Les had the players to compete with any team every year and he slowly started to piss it away.
lowers1987, 10 wins is nice but LSU couldn't win the ones that actually mattered (for the most part). Les was running an offense that better defensive teams like Bama just salivated at lining up against. His unwillingness to really change up the offense seemed to have doomed him as much as anything in the end. That's the root cause of him constantly losing to BAMA and some of the other better teams in the SEC.
That’s called LSU. It’s tough consistently being one of the top teams in the country and having to play Bama every damn year... along with the entire SEC West. It really does mean more. 🤷♀️
With some of the stories I’ve heard from players about Les Miles I think it’s a good thing he’s not coaching anymore
This is why he never got the head coaching job at Michigan. They knew about his problems a long, long time ago.
Yep
Michigan went HARD for Les Miles, so your statement is quite inaccurate.🙄
Makes you wonder what went on at LSU and what was covered up....
Not an LSU fan but he was one of my favorite coaches....but my opinion has changed now.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely !
It hasn't for sabin.
Keep doing long content!!!
I will!
Hope you get around to the Bobby Petrino era at Arkansas. Especially the 2011 season it was hot🔥🔥
Great information on this video!
Miles has a big mansion of a home, millions of dollars and financially set for the rest of his life. Not to mention he has a national championship ring he can look at every day until his last. That's the kind of downfall I'd like to have.
... and his reputation? What's that worth ?
Not at the cost of my reputation
Yea, he has a championship ring, thanks to the residual effect of his predecessor nick sabin. Look how his record started declining after three years.
Well done analysis and reporting. Very credible & fair from the perspective of a long-time LSU fan on his record at LSU! I lost track of Miles after he left. I didn't know the specific details of why KU fired him. I do now. Just wonder how egregious the allegations really were. I'm sure his contract had a "moral clause"....I'm wondering if KU saved a lot of money by digging this up? It's clear Miles didn't meet their expectations! Just asking?
Next do the opposite: Bill Snyder
Remember when we could all tell something was off (more than usual) with Les around 2011 onward...Should have been gone in 2013 as the AD requested. Any competent coach would have won the 2012 natty with the talent we had on that squad, even without a stellar QB (which Miles was never a good recruiter of QBs), the rest of that team was insanely good.
Until 2019 I was sure that 2011 Lsu team was the best I’d ever see. The offense wasn’t even bad and the defense and special teams were insane
Good job.
Do not focus on making content for views. Focus on making great content and the views will come as your channel continues to grow. Add value to the audience and things will improve with time.
Just a note since I’m always dipping Less Miles in the grease he was an incredible recruiter he knew how to get the talent he just didn’t know what to do with it he took Pooka Williams with him to Kansas Pooka William was one of the most dynamic running backs I have ever seen in high school football he did well his first year at Kansas 1000 yards rushing but the second year teams were ready for him and he opted out this year due to the virus , I’m still pulling for Pooka to make it to the pros another Louisiana talent another great Louisiana talent just like Devante just like Leonard Fournett , Chase ,Justin Jefferson ,Lefell, Peterson, the honey badger Deion Jones ,White
Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry should’ve had record setting years at LSU Odell Beckham really funny , when he made it back to the locker room after the championship game, Odell Beckham could be productive and happy in Tampa Bay .
Kansas was looking for an excuse to fire him and the allegations gave them their reason, he was terrible
As an ISU fan, I do feel pretty bad for Kansas. When they showed some spark in 2019, I remember thinking that Kansas getting better can only be a good thing for the Big 12 as a whole. Unfortunately, that spark has sputtered and died. I hope whoever they hire next can turn things around
Pooka Williams the running back from Louisiana was responsible for that spark the most dynamic running back I’ve ever seen in high school videos on RUclips highlights of his runs incredible ,Clyde Elaire was pretty damn good too but Pooka was a little bit better that guy from Ohio State going to Ohio State this year high school highlights are unreal also
As a Jayhawks fan, this video will be painful
Will never be a head coach again in college but financially set for the rest of his life
He came in behind Saban and kept Saban's staff as he needed to have people in place. Through his 11 years, he went from a title contender to a mediocre program. Pitiful staffing ( picking old friends over more competent possibilities ). He didn't personally recruit, but left that to his DC and OC. His philosophy was if a team executes a play perfectly it will be successful. So a constantly stagnant offensive was blames on a lack of execution. My end came after we were defeated 20 -0 in a National Championship Game with Alabama. We had a 1st string QB who was struggling, and our 2nd string QB had played more than 6 games (6-0) and had brought us to the 1st in the country rating in both polls. He refused to switch QB's and, of course, we were embarrassed. Everyone asked him why he didn't switch QB's in the second half, and he said he would fully explain it in his weekly press conference. His explanation was the straw that broke everyone's back. " We thought we had a better chance at winning the game if we. stayed with our starter." Duh! Wow I hadn't thought of that as a possibility, nor had the other 500000 fans in Louisiana who closely follow the LSU program." That was when I realized what a dead stump Les had for a brain.
Man i’ve been asking for a vid on matt painter since March 2020😫😫😫
When painter makes a final four, I’ll make it haha
As a lifelong Kansas fan... This sucks. Didn't think we could get lower than we've been
rock bottom
Less football wise never wanted to adapt on offense, the other stuff i don't know about
When you get a better mic I will turn the bell on
I like how this Les Miles smoke screen comes out from LSU when the heat was going to be turned up on Will Wade and Orgeron. No mentions of all the shady stuff that’s going on there now. Nicely done LSU. Well played.
I have family who are LSU fans.
Now we have McMahon and Kelly and the best AD in college athletics.
@@markjohnson9455What is your point?
You should do a video on BYU's QB situation, they posted a video of a throw from their freshman QB, could he possibly win the starting job now that Zach Wilson is going to the NFL?
let me look into it!
@@ScottFisherCFB The video they posted was on their instagram page, keep up the great content!
I love Coach Les
im a FSU fan and i had to go back and check and LSU played UF in 2012 not FSU but its alright dude really good vid
Yep haha
miss you coach
haha
honestly could see them trying to hire the Coastal Carolina coach
Love LEZ...
Lol! Les looks like the Sensei from Karate Kid in that pic of him and Jamarcus Russell. He's probably telling Russell right there to sweep the leg.
Lmao who Kreese?
Yep. Look at that smirk on his face.
I was surprised they didnt fire him immediately after the season first. With a 3-18 record and 1 win in conference in 2 years, he should have been the FIRST coach out the door, scandal or no scandal
its Kansas tho lol
@@ScottFisherCFB touche lol
Why was he hired in the first place ?
@@jerrylanglois7892 probably because of his success at LSU. Kansas was probably desperate
@@jpinon403 literally anything is better than David Beaty
Do Mike leach and talk about the issue at Texas tech
I want to do a Downfall of Texas Tech video
Les miles sucked at weekly gameplanning X’s and O’s but he was elite at talent development. How many 2 and 3 star guys became nfl starters after training at Lsu. His in game play calling was ok. But it was really just how fundamentally sound his Lsu teams were that made them good.
Love Les miles!
A true man of god
Do a video on jimmy clausen (the kid with the golden arm)
That could be a good one
They beat Texas tech in the bowl game in 2015. A&M was 4 years into the sec by then & would have been literally impossible to play a division rival in a bowl game
I was screaming “innocent until proven guilty” but then they parted ways. Either he’s guilty and they know it or they just don’t want this distraction to last. We’ll see though.
I hope he is innocent. You can't trust anyone anymore, especially when the accusing people never get backlash if they are proven to be liars
@@garrettcoleman3200 #PointExactly
That 2011 Bama team was way better than 2011 Oklahoma State any day of the week.
Thank You!
But its cool since he never beat Nick after that!
What tha holy crap he done now.
5:24 star... i know he was good but i was not alive for the 07 season so all i know is 2020, not a star.
I love Les "than average" Miles. He gave us "The MAN" Mike Gundy.
Gundy's probably about to get the axe himself.
@ Ya going 7 straight years of doing the same or better is something no one with the last name of Bryant, Stoops, or Saban have done. and taking OSU to a BCS bowl for the fist time and winning oh and his Cowboys FORCED a CFB PLAYOFF. Ya get rid of him LOL
Gundy knows offense but a weird duck...he wouldn't be doing as good if he was in the SEC.
@@topmech71 The 3rd or 4th Best B12 South team FILLED TO THE BRIM with B12 players went to the SEC and Handed Bama andLLLLLLLLL INTANTLY ON THE ROAD
Do a review of coach Bill Snyder of KSU. COACH of Century.
Yes, Snyder did a great job in pulling Kansas State out of the abyss. However, Snyder won many, many, MANY games against weak opponents.
Do a mike price video! Rise and fall rise and fall lol
Good idea!
Please
As a Bama fan my mind always goes to 2 things: that amazing fake field goal (against Florida?) and eating grass
He should've been fired from LSU much sooner. GEAUX TIGERS!
Will Les Miles ever coach another game?
I've always liked him as a coach and I personally hope he gets another shot. I understand what Bobby Petrino did at Arkansas wasn't nearly as bad but he was given another opportunity
Nope and hes on the downside of his coaching career..didnt win at Kansas and his last years @ LSU weren't that good either
@@jserv9421 except that national championship.........lol
But I guess I generally agree.
Probably some shitshow program in C-USA or Vandy.
Is anybody else here after the raw room where homie said les miles attempted to sabotage his draft stock
Ol Lez. Let 'er rip
Les had problems at OSU too
I guess he was eating more than just grass.
Steak and lobster at any New York or Chicago restaurant he wanted to
@@ljbull33 hes saying he was eating grass and ass
Bobby Petrino has a job Les is fine
wow haha
When you have a job do it. Don't mess around. The money should be good.
hey look a michigan hire/lack off that they got right
It's going to be SLOW until football season starts...
yup :/
I knew the Miles personally when I was growing up in Stillwater, Oklahoma. His daughter Smacker and I went to the same school and played soccer together for like 5 years. Les was always a creep when he'd come around, it was pretty well known that he was a sleeze bag around the community.
In college Les was known for well
being nasty with the ladies
He left Oklahoma State after swearing he was staying!
I believe that was karma that came back and but him in the ass. At least we have Mike Gundy!
Kansas needs a local guy to build and give that coach 7-8 years to get the ball rolling. With transfers available everywhere and a juco farm system in Kansas this is do-able, just not easy.
They need to bring back Mangino!
@@ScottFisherCFB Kansas got lance Leipold he's slowly improving the program.. Les Miles was a horrible hire though..
So sad!!!
Sad ? I say karma.
I don't really believe Les Miles will get another head coaching job. I don't even know if he wants it. He is 67, he doesn't have much left in him.
I agree. I think Miles is done. If you're Les Miles you don't take a job at Kansas unless you're winding down your career and just want to give it one last go at a school where no one really cares if you win anyway. It's not like he took it as a stepping stone to Texas or something.
he should've went to ]\/[ichigan when he had the chance
What's the difference KU don't care about football they ran off a coach that got within a game of playing for the national title. Now if you could transform it into basketball on grass they might care. Sad thing is since they ran off Mangino and now had no choice with Miles they've become like K State in the 70s. If they can get in a young energetic coach with a personality and give him time they might be able to move into the middle of the big 12 but alumni are going to have to push for it and convince recruits they are going to build into contention. Don't hold your breath.
Les Miles is not a good coach.. very overrated.. Kansas got a better replacement with Lance Leipold..
@@Hunter87788 let's see he had a decent record at Oklahoma State. He had a good record at LSU and was in the national title conversation a lot of the time. He goes to Kansas goes bust. How many coaches have gone to KU got frustrated, flopped, then left? KU DONT CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL!!!!! Why would any coach want the Kansas job unless they wanted a break from the pressure from the administration TO WIN. If a coach wants to win there the culture has to change. Miles didn't become a bad coach when he was there he was at a bad program. If Kansas cared about football they would have found a way to keep Mangino. He built a good base then they promptly broke it down. Don't blame miles because the program stinks.
What do you mean, "UNFORTUNATELY, LSU lost to Alabama."? LSU has almost always lost to Bama and always will lose to Bama. It's what makes the universe understandable.
Jayhawks pretending like they didn't know when they hired him..so they could fire him with cause and not have to pay...LOL!!!
Was not a frivolous scandal that got him fired but he aged out; that with coming off a winless season. Happened to Paterno, Eddie Robinson, Bowden, ect. Saban has 2 mediocre years and you will see the same thing.
I’m a Kansas fan and help me
Lol
He had to leave Michigan because he had an affair with Head Coach Gary Moeller’s wife.
FACTS!
😯😯
Sure that was bad. However, was there any sexual assault involved?
No? Then WTF?
Les Miles might still be at LSU if Nick Saban had not become the head coach at Alabama.
Were the misbehavior charges fully proven?
But the NCAA is going to punish LSU and the people who were not there during Miles time. Miles gets a free ride.
And everything else was free also can you imagine all the people that go hungry in the city and he gets to walk away with 15 million oh 0h Ho Hum,and never looked back
Hello
This was so wrong! I have watched Lsu since the early 80s and Miles was the worst. He was gifted a loaded team from Saban and still lost 2 games in 07. The only coach in the bcs era to play for a title with 2 losses. I could go on and on. He did less with more than anyone.
Thus, his name. His name is Les ... not more.
Do ray drew UGA, former 5 star
let me look into him!
Les Miles will NEVER be a Head Coach again. He’s done and he should be done after his off the field conduct.
He did it to himself. But, he was a helluva recruiter though. Enjoy your early retirement mad hatter.
He did good at first because he had players Saban recruited, but 2009 exposed him
He did great in 2011 as he was able to win under his own players, but Bama figured him out in the National title game and he didn’t recover since.
