Miles brought winning to a HORRIBLE OSU program.

Lucky Les the uber-dork, can't wear a hat.
Called out all the "suckers", but didn't call 'em "FAT!"

Miles was a good coach. That's obvious. We were fortunate to have him while we had him. Having Gundy work for Coach Miles as offensive coordinator and then become head coach was probably the best possible way for things to unfold for OSU.

"thats the only good thing Les Miles did for OSU..."

And beat OU in back-to-back years.
And guided OSU to its first 8 win season in quite some time.
And took OSU to bowl games three years in a row.

But that's all.

Les Miles recognized a good thing when he saw it. I live in Atlanta and went to see the Cowboys play Southern Miss. in Hattiesburg. They have a thing called the Eagle Walk. Practically the whole town gets involved. Police/Fire department etc. It really did pump up the fans. That Thursday night the Cowboys laid an egg and were beaten soundly by USM. But the next home game for the cowboys Miles started the Cowboy walk. Great thing for us.
Thanks Les Miles.

Les Miles was about as classless as you can get, it suits him to be at LSU with their obnoxious fans. I'm sure Les didn't come up with the idea, someone else suggested it to him. Wow, they beat Oklahoma 2 years back to back? C'mon, what kind of an accomplishment is that? Why don't you cite beating any other team back-to-back?

Les Miles also ran a team full of thugs and criminals that Gundy had to go clean up. I think "the walk" is just fine, but giving Les Miles credit for anything other than making OSU cringe when he spoke is absurd.

jhpoke, I don't doubt Miles got the idea from another school (he had to), maybe even USM, however, he did not coordinate The Walk in less than 2 weeks for the next home game. The effort was coordinated over the summer as he and the staff made arrangements to move the team hotel from the Best Western to the Student Union so they COULD do the walk.

I think Les will always be a burr under the saddle of goobers. No one else called them out and walked the walk.

Miles was a good coach...a little bit full of himself though. Looking at the LSU program it can be seen that he is not a great coach. Once all of Saban's recruits graduated it went downhill from its championship team. Gundy has the makings of a great coach and is leading the Cowboys better than I thought he would or gave him credit for even last year. He has built a team to be reckoned with after Les left him with a team full of misfits. Gundy is a class act and it is no wonder the walk as well as the program has gotten better under his care.

I didn't like the way Les left OSU, from various things I've heard his head and heart weren't in the job toward the very end when he was interviewing with LSU and maybe others.

That being said I'm very thankful for what Les has done; OSU was terrible before he got on. He gave us 8 and 9 win seasons. Aside from beating a top team in the nation (OU) back to back years, we beat Nebraska for the first time in decades. Gundy has done a great job continuing the success. When I see the program pre-Miles and look at it now, I cannot help but think Miles had something to do with it.

The Walk is a great tradition; he may have gotten the idea from somewhere else, but I'm pretty sure it was instituted before any games. I remember the Pep Rally where he spoke to the crowd about this new tradition before the team played any games.

Ya, brownie cow, he called 'em out and walked the walked twice, but the 3rd time he took a severe whuppin' and limped back to Stilllllllwater with a big ol 52-9 bruise on his worth-LES rear. I can still see Tommie Harris doing jumping jacks after a goal line stand and Mike Stoops with that fist cocked saying "Want some more of this, Miles" ..........hee hee

MexiMike, Tulsa (11/17/2009 3:11:30 PM)

Coweta, it was a HUGE accomplishment both because of what OU was ranked at the time and because they are the in-state rival.

Hold onto that memory, Suea. Hold it tight and fall soundly asleep. We know that memories are all you have to grasp onto these days.

WWJD, (11/17/2009 3:50:36 PM)

Miles is a joke. Just like the championship the ncaa handed to him.

pokes06, NE Oklahoma (11/17/2009 4:42:16 PM)

coweta and wwjd- couldn't agree more with your comments. Les is an arrogant, pos in my opinion. He expected everyone to bow down to him, wouldn't greet his fans or sign autographs or let the fans take pictures.....Im glad he's gone!
Go Pokes,Beat Colorado!!

The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/18/2009 8:38:12 AM)

You're right about that, Mexi. Some fans have fond memories of their team's past and some team's fans just want to erase theirs. Keep your eraser handy.

SUEA, MESQUITE (11/18/2009 9:34:42 AM)

Mask and Mexi - need to start calling you the M&M boys.........heck, I don't think you dudes have much of a past or memory......beat the Steers back to back and we'll talk............shoot, just beat Texas some day..... hee hee

SUEA, MESQUITE (11/18/2009 2:58:43 PM)

Ol Les -

just another memory of LosuR's past.....

SUEA, MESQUITE (11/18/2009 5:08:06 PM)

Mask, my main man - I owe ya an apology, sir....I misinterpreted your post........please forgive......did I spell that big word correct ? Don't want all these USO gebronies saying I'm a Sooner that can't spell.........have a good day
