On another note, I'm wondering if Chip Lindsey didn't get himself into the same situation he had under Gus. Les Miles was so damn stubborn about 3 yards and a cloud of dust, is he going to let Lindsey do his thing or stick to his guns?
Based on nothing but nekkid speculation, it seems like Les is in Hawaiian-shirt mode. Half-retired. Get P5 money...at a place with no real expectations...and get fluffed by the local media.
Seems like a great opportunity to "re-invent" his style and go full CEO. Let the kids grind...Uncle Les has another banquet to attend.
Les is an odd duck, though, and could be trying to prove that he's still the man. Whodafuck knows?
