    Let me set your mind at ease. Where has the rest of major college football gotten their head coaches from? Let's start with the major SEC programs.

    Ole Miss - Orgeron was an assistant at Southern Cal.
    Alabama - Shula was an NFL assistant
    Miss. St. - Croom was an NFL assistant
    Auburn - Tuberville was head coach at Ole Miss
    Arkansas - Nutt was head coach at Boise St.
    Florida - Meyer was head coach at Utah
    Georgia - Richt was a coordinator at Florida St.
    Tennessee - Fulmer was a coordinator at Tennessee
    South Carolina - Spurrier was an NFL head coach

    As you can see the SEC head coaches are really a collection of former mid-major head coaches and NFL assistants. LSU, Auburn, and South Carolina are the only teams with coaches whose prior job was head coach at a major football program or NFL team.

    Miles' credentials as head coach at Oklahoma St. compare extremely well to the list above.

    Flawed reasoning
    You said "major college football" and then immediately listed ole myth. That in itself blows your theory to hell. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

    Stoops and Carroll were NFL or college assistant coaches before being hired, as well.

    LSU just robbed a coach from team in the upper tier of a BCS conference with a winning record -- for the second straight time, and it worked out pretty well last time.

    The coach is fine the timeing was bad?
    If we had hired Miles while he was a Dallas Assistant Coach, the NFL criteria would have been met, therby, another segment of the bitchers would be satisfied.
