I  am starting to think that article about them being better off as an option team has some serious merit. They are now firmly behind KState as far as recruiting talent in state and regional kids would rather go to ISU or Iowa or even Neb than KU. So they need a gimmick and trying to go all pass happy leach wont work in the B12...

 

Maybe option football would work in Lawrence... it’s not like they can get any worse 

They're too much pussies to be an option team.  They're better off playing flag football....

Damn D O G!  You member when there was a time every player on the field, every fan in the stadium, and the millions watching at home knew what Nebraska was about to run?  We all knew!   Few teams could do spit about it either.  You member?  I member.  What the hell happened?

Big XII academic standards, walk-on limits, national tv contracts for almost all schools, Mack Brown, Texas high schools switch from option attacks to passing offenses, better-informed recruits, defensive rules changes, air-raid offenses, improved defensive schemes, freak athletes emerging on DL's counteracting cornfed OL's, Vince Young, stagnant culture, over-inflated self worth, fixation on the past, inability to adjust, chasing greener pastures, fleeing from BigXII competition, conceding Texas recruiting base, trashing tradition, miscalculating B1G pecking order (OSU, Mich, Penn St., Wisky, Mich St, then Iowa/Neb/Minn/Purdue/Illinois in some order), & probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Don't let my laughter fool you.  There is part of me (though deeply buried and a very very very small part) that still respects your fading place in history and slightly feels bad for ya'lls plight.  Enough for me to hope your boys return to winning sooner rather than later.  At least an occasional upset of tOSU or Penn St.  If for no other reason that Texas would benefit from it.  Why can't ya'll dominate everyone else?  That part is difficult to understand.  You can't tell me that Des Moines, Urbana or wherever the other schools are located and should be dominating have that much of an edge over your coaching, facilities, money, and or state.

Oh, I forgot one. Username shoulda reminded me... RollLeft happened. 

After that, Texas always just knew they could beat Nebraska.

I may have my wires crossed, but I could swear I read somewhere that Les Miles had a very high IQ. Like MENSA high. Seems about right.

One of my close friends coached for him for several years, including the national championship. He thinks Miles is a stupid motherfucker.

Lulz:

Quote

Former LSU coach Les Miles is suing the school for vacating wins in response to an NCAA infractions case, a move that dropped Miles below the threshold for College Football Hall of Fame qualification.

Miles, who coached LSU from 2005 to 2016, also named the NCAA and the National Football Foundation, which manages the College Football Hall of Fame, as defendants. The lawsuit states he was deprived of property rights to the vacated wins and his nomination for the Hall of Fame, which must be done by those affiliated with an NCAA member school.



In 2023, LSU vacated 37 wins because of recruiting violations stemming from impermissible benefits paid to the father of former player Vadal Alexander by a former booster. The wins coincided with Alexander's playing career from 2012 to 2015 under Miles, who went 37-14 during the stretch. The vacated football wins were announced alongside other penalties for LSU's football and men's basketball programs by the NCAA's Independent Accountability Resolution Process.

The 37 vacated wins dropped Miles' overall record from 145-73, a winning percentage of .665, to 108-73, a winning percentage of .597. Coaches must have a career winning percentage of .600 in at least 100 games to qualify for selection to the College Football Hall of Fame. Miles, 70, helped LSU to a national championship in 2007 and won two SEC titles at the school. He also led programs at Oklahoma State and Kansas.


"Our theory is over the course of his career, Les had certain achievements that he had a right to accept -- in this instance, they triggered being on the [Hall of Fame] ballot," Miles' attorney Peter Ginsberg told ESPN. "When that was stripped of him, without any notice or due process, that action effectively deprived him of the property right to be on the ballot."

Ginsberg said Miles was never made aware of the NCAA investigation impacting the years that he coached, nor was he interviewed during the process.

According to the lawsuit, LSU's "decision not to provide Miles with any form of due process was made in agreement with the NCAA, and in furtherance of the LSU Defendants' negotiations with the NCAA concerning additional and more-severe penalties that otherwise likely would have been imposed on LSU and its athletics program."

 

The IARP placed LSU on three years' probation. LSU had previously imposed a postseason ban in football for the 2020-21 season.

Ginsberg said he and George Bass, Miles' longtime agent, had several communications with LSU officials after the wins were vacated, including a "substantive" in-person meeting that included a high-ranking university official. According to Ginsberg, the school "seemed not only inclined but enthusiastic to lobby the NCAA to either reverse the punishment or obtain an exception for Les because of these unusual circumstances." Ginsberg thought a resolution was possible, but LSU then cut off all communications with Miles' team, without explanation.

The sides haven't communicated for several months. LSU told ESPN it cannot comment on pending litigation.

"For all those who helped make LSU football so successful, the action is a slap in the face and reflects a disregard for the entire program's hard work and dedication under Les' leadership," Bass said in a news release announcing the lawsuit. "After LSU promised us its help in undoing this injustice, LSU went back on its word, forcing us to take this unfortunate action of suing in order to regain Les' rights."

Other than the adjusted win percentage, Miles is eligible for Hall of Fame selection, as he served as a head coach for more than 10 years, coached more than 100 games and has not coached in more than three years. Miles and Kansas parted ways in March 2021, amid allegations that Miles had behaved inappropriately toward female students during his tenure at LSU.

Miles' lawsuit states that "the bulk" of LSU's infractions, including the most serious violations, occurred in basketball, and that the team's coaches, including former coach Will Wade, were "directly implicated" in violations. The basketball penalties did not include vacated wins or adjusted coaching records. Wade, now at McNeese State, received a two-year show-cause order and a 10-game suspension for three Level I violations.

"I have no doubt that Wade was made aware of and participated in the resolution with the NCAA, but Les was not involved in any way," Ginsberg said.
