POLL: Would you rather have Les Miles or Mike Leach as Head Coach

[DocVOLiday]

89 to 90

I'd say leach but would be tough to pick if miles had few with him

 

[LLcoolDave]

if I was Miles I would not accept the position if the AD is going to tell me who my staff has to be, but yet hold me accountable for the program. That's crazy!

I agree and that's why I don't understand why this kind of rumor is floating around. I just can fathom a potential HC hire having his hands tied regarding his own staff.

 

[alwaysvol]

lane Kiffin, for me

 

[A-RodWiLks]

We deserve another 20 years of mediocrity if we hire Miles

 

[vader]

Leach, but there's no way in hell Fulmer goes after him

Correct answer

 

[Orange&White]

Damn we are a tough crowd to please. But ladies and gentleman we have a boat race here...stay tuned.

 

[KingtUT]

Unbelievable this is a 50/50 vote. What in the hell are you people thinking?

No wonder this fan base will never be happy

Les Miles by a mile.

Les is far from my favorite but geez come on, Mike freaking Leach...are you kidding me?

More is Less with Les.

 

[vol66]

Miles has always had good QB’s and developed them well.

Mind blowing

 

[GoVols876]

Les Miles recruited at a Top 5 level, consistently. Year after year after year. All of that added up to 2 conference titles in 12 years.

Realistically, what happens when he only has Top 10 or *gasp* Top 15 level talent?

 

[OrangeTsar]

Some people fall for flash over substance every time. Les is proven, solid, and a winner in the toughest division in football. Give me a tough defensive minded coach any day of the week.

[VolNRaleighNC]

Where’s the “Neither” option?

 

[photovol]

Both would be a huge upgrade

Les Miles can't develop a QB, that is his only weakness, but that is huge weakness.

 

[photovol]

Leach would be more fun

 

[volfan1631]

I just wonder how Leach would do at a school with the facilities like UT has. He could actually be very successful in the SEC here.

 

[Special Ed]

Les Miles, like Fulmer, is old school.
We can't keep up with the big boys in the conference playing old school football.
I'll take Leach.
Or Fuente.

 

[KingtUT]

Ok, I can see how this is such a tough choice now.

Leach (certified nut case)

38-37 at his current job
122-80 overall (60% win rate)
1 Big 12 SOUTH title
6-6 bowl record

Les Miles (crazy SOB that eats grass but not certified)

141-55 (72% win rate)
8-6 bowl record
1 National championship
2 SEC championships
3 SEC western division championships

Yeah, I can see how this could be a tough choice.

You're not describing Les.

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

Miles, but only if Tee is OC/HCIW. (If it is strictly only a choice between Miles and Leach...not really a huge Miles fan, but this is where we are at after the debacle) Leach offense fun to watch, but no defense and don't see his personality fitting in East Tennessee or the SEC.

This. We don't have a shot at the great white whale but miles is a huge upgrade over anything we have had since fulmer.

 

[callmecrockett]

I do like Leach, but the recruiting ties and direct experience coaching in the SEC and against the SEC is the difference maker.

As a side note, I made the assumption that Tee is OC and Steele at DC.
