Take on the theory and not whether you want him or not?

1. Read the article first as it seems teams might be interested in him. What teams, but teams that are thinking of axing their coaches at some point this year be thinking of the replacement and lofting various ames around?

2. Miles is a Michigan grad and former assistant coach there as well.

3. Ross seemed determined to hire a college guy last year.

4. Miles brings SOME sizzle with him. Certainly people would be talking about it one way or the other.

5. Might be willing to keep Ireland since that seems important to Ross (for what ever reason)/Ireland will like him because his only NFL experience was coaching TE's for the Cowboys...(just a joke here)

6. Probably would not care of the circus Ross has created outside the football stadium on game day.

7. Has an offensive background.

8. Known as being able to relate to players...

Just a theory. Discuss.
 
Oh please God no. You thought Sparano was good for a few brainfarts a game...you should watch this dude.
 
Ugh. Absolutely not, he has worse clock management than Moron0. Miami hires Les Miles you might as well bank on Jordan Jefferson with the #1 overall pick.
 
I mentioned his name in another thread. The article definitely made a case. Would create buzz that's for sure.
 
Do you agree Ross could go that way? I do.

I did not want the thread to become "yes" or "no" on Miles, but to tackle whether this would be plausible or not.

However, I could see Ross doing this.
 
Did not mean to steal your thunder. Just something I thought about the other day and then read this article.

Instead, the Tigers went backwards on consecutive plays, first on a sack for a loss of nine yards (followed by LSU's second timeout) that knocked them out of field goal range, and then on a third down screen pass for a loss of seven that backed LSU into a desperate, 4th-and-26 hole. And instead of following Clock Management 101 by calling their final timeout immediately after the third down play ended in-bounds, though, the Tigers let 16 seconds tick off before finally expending the last TO with only nine seconds and no timeouts remaining to get off the fourth down play and any other snaps that followed it.
So when Jefferson improbably completed a 42-yard pass to Terance Tolliver at the Ole Miss six on fourth-and-forever as the clock ticked down to one second, LSU had two options: a) Rush the field goal team (which should have been waiting on the sideline for just this situation) on for a winning attempt before the officials were able to move the chains, set the ball and begin the clock again; or b) With such little time to get a new 11 men on and the current 11 men off, hurry the offense up to the line to take a final shot into the end zone. It had to be kick or throw into the end zone, and the decision had to made pronto -- in fact, it should have already been made, during the timeout preceding the fourth down heave. Clock Management 101, Section 2: With almost no time and no timeouts, you must have two plays ready in the if the first play doesn't score.
The one option the Tigers definitely did not have at their disposal was spiking the ball to stop the clock: With only one second left, once Jefferson took the snap and put the ball into the turf, there would be no time left to kill.
Naturally, Jefferson and the offense scurry to the line, looking at each other and to their sideline in confusion as the officials set the ball, start the clock and ... end it. Jefferson inexplicably attempted to spike the ball, anyway, but the Tigers didn't even get off the snap before the clock hit all-zeroes.
So, coach: Why'd you let 16 seconds tick off before calling timeout after the loss on third down, leaving the team with no time to execute the two or three more plays it would need to convert the fourth down and get the field goal team on? What was the plan for the final play after those precious seconds were wasted? There ... was a plan, wasn't there?

1. When was the last time that a team took possession of the football at its 31 with 5:41 remaining in the game, two timeouts left and ran out of regulation time before running out of downs?

This particular aspect of LSU's collapse hasn't gotten any attention, but it's one of the more amazing parts of the operatic tragedy that unfolded on Saturday. It's unheard of that LSU's drive would end because the clock ran out. It's unheard of that a team that only needed to drive 69 yards would find itself scrambling to run a play down the stretch. Especially when the clock stops after every first down.

Lots of attention has been paid to the clock mismanagement down the stretch, but the collapse at the end was set in motion by the awful execution to begin the drive. LSU would run 24 plays on that final drive. Twenty-three wasn't enough to win the game.

Think about how insane that is for a moment.
