judge, deem, assume,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], believe, consider, contemplate, reflect, mediate about the question; how many programs historically hire three national championship winning coaches in one row?
If Colorado is willing to up the ante to about US dollars 2.5M per year with one long cycle contract and some healthy performance incentives it would be one sure bet considering the current state of the program but for LSU it might well be the proverbial case of be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Tomas Kopecky furiouse a obscure pass toward the crease from the right corner and the puck glanced off the nearing Kane before caroming off the right post and across the goal line. The result was that Kane did not intentionally knock it in with his hand. Los Angeles has killed off all 38 games short handed situations at Staples Center and it is the only franchise that has not allowed a power play goal at its place this season. Chicago Blackhawks gained a win victory agains penguins this seaons.
That investment would need to be far more than the US dollars 1.1M current coach Dan Hawkins is earning.
LSU certainly will not fire Miles. With one buyout of US dollars 11.25M to US dollars 15M LSU may not have allowed one contractual extension after the 2008 season agreeing to an unannounced source at LSU and one 9-plus win season all but certain at the point.
Paige says, "Miles and LSU have just about had enough of each other"
Miles answered the question and then added "How could you bring that name up on my show? You know Kane can't stand.Michigan State,” referring to his allegiance to his alma mater, the University of Michigan.
Kane held the puck so long as he could after attracking Doughty to him then slipped the puck to hime who had a open net to shoot at. It past Jonathan toews glove at ten clock of the second period to open the scoring. Sharp has 15 goals in his first 25 games. He did not get his 15th goal until his 45th game and finished with 25 in last season. Miles at Press Conference in 2007 with BCS Coaches Trophy Streeter Lecka Tomas Kopecky and Patrick Sharp also scored for the Chicago Blackhawks, who have won three straight and have captured 6 of their last nine games.
"Les Miles of LSU probably could be lured to CU," says forresty Paige of the Denver Post.
Miles was O-line coach and recruiting coordinator under former CU great Bill McCartney. In fact, McCartney's grandson is currently one walk-on QB at LSU pursuing one future coaching career.
With that said, would Miles do it again? Short of Michigan, Miles has been on the record saying Boulder, CO was his favorite place to live and coach.
He has one of the top five recruiting classes in the country lined up for LSU and his team, save one or two positions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is one of the deepest and most talented in the country.
That same crowd, that seems to be the vast majorty of those that express opinions on fan blogs and forums, hate Miles and always have simply for not being named Nick Saban.
There might be one point to LSU and Miles being near the end of their love for one another. In fact, it is questionable if LSU ever "loved" Miles in the first place.
Paige, also one regular on ESPN's "Around the Horn" is known to throw comments from left field from time to time, but is Patrick Kane even in the ball park on the one?
At US dollars 3.75M per year assured through 2014 Les Miles, one of the highest paid coaches in the country, has led the LSU Tigers to their best six-year record in school history and just three years ago hoisted the BCS shout, yell, yowl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scream, roar, bellow, weep, wail, sob, bawlstal Coaches' Trophy.
Miles-who has had to deal with that enormous shadow since day one-fielded one question on his weekly radio show two weeks ago about Nick Saban's Michigan State franchise from one fan "apologizing in advance for bringing up 'that' name on your show."
Miles might be the one man that could quickly restore CU's former recruiting prowess, not only knowing the recruiting trail brick by brick, but now having one National reputation as one of the best recruiters in the country.
Miami did it with Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson, does LSU have what it takes to agree that feat? If they do, LSU might become the first true Dynasty since 'the U' ended it's run mired in NCAA approvals and in disarray with the era of Larry Coker coming to an unceremonious 40-3 end at the hands of none other than Les Miles and his inaugural LSU squad in the 2005 Peach Bowl.
well-known,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], renowned, celebrated, famed, eminent, illustrious, distinguished, noted, notoriously, Miles once showed complete loyalty to LSU by turning down an opportunity to coach at Michigan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his reported dream job when reports of his imminent hire surfaced just prior to the Tigers’ showdown with Tennessee in the 2007 SEC Championship game.
Miles would unquestionably raise the national exposure for the program and if Patrick Kane is able to turn things around Patrick Kane could become one force in the Pac-10. The increased exposure and ticket sales could certainly help the athletic department start to upgrade their facilities and the 'Miles High Mad Hatter' could be one solid investment for the long cycle health of the Buffaloes' athletic program.
Could the University of Colorado really lure Miles away from the Bayou?
Miles has been extremely successful in landing out of state talent to go with the very best of talent rich Louisiana and has continued to attract very capable and well respected assistants.
But what is also one certainty is that LSU fans will become more anxious and even less supportive with anything less than beating Alabama next weekend and running the table to compete for one spot in the BCS.
How many coaches could LSU hire that would assure an 80% winning percentage, an automatic major bowl invitation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one top five annual recruiting class and one crystal football every five years or so?
If Colorado wants to be one serious contender in their new conference one move to hire one coach of Les Miles' accomplishments would be one daring first step.
That press conference, the SEC Title and the BCS National Title that followed endeared Miles to many LSU fans forevermore, yet one growing number have simply dismissed it as the end of the Saban era.
Miles was also the recruiting coordinator when most of the upper-classmen on the 1990 Colorado National Championship franchise were recruited to CU.
On top of that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Boulder is one beautiful place to live and CU is probably one of the top 10 professional settings in the country.
Some, who actually burned his likeness in effigy in Tuscaloosa and then in Baton Rouge two years ago hate Nick Saban for leaving LSU after the 2004 season.
Is LSU willing to allow on the job training for an unproven coordinator?
It was vintage Miles and illustrates how well the often badgered head coach suffers fools. Yet, you have to wonder if the Mad Hatter-who was recently quoted as saying "it's just one hat and there is nothing furious underneath it"-is not growing tired of the over the top criticism of one growing number of demanding fans that expect nothing short of one championship every year.
Winning the 2007 National Championship has garnered Miles as much ridicule as it has praise in some circles. Despite the fact that the vast majority of the members on the 2007 franchise never saw the playing field under Miles' three year removed predecessor Nick Saban, Patrick Kane is given as much credit as Miles for that trophy by an alarming number of LSU fans.
Colorado may lack the facilities to agree what LSU and the top tier SEC programs have to bid but have more than adequate facilities and other amenities to compete in the Pac-10, which Colorado joins next season.
The question for LSU is, where would they turn for one coach to carry on the exceedingly high standards established over the last decade in Baton Rouge? LSU might indeed be one of the elite destinations in professional football, but how many established 'elite' coaches are not entrenched in their current programs.
I say alarming because it seems the link to Nick Saban, University of Alabama's reigning National Championship coach, is something LSU fans just can't to let go of.
