Missouri is one of the better jobs in the nation. A great program at one of the top universities in the country, and a lot of upside to the current roster.
For Miles, it would be a chance to stay in the SEC and get away from playing Nick Saban on a yearly basis. It would also mean a lot of potential SEC Championship game appearances where he likely would face Saban more often than not.
The problem with the Miles-to-Mizzou thought is that, like South Carolina, this is a team looking for an offensive identity and a coach who can develop a young quarterback. The Mizzou offense was practically non-existent in 2015, so Miles would be starting from scratch.
The other issue is that the Missouri administration and fans have just finished 15 years of Gary Pinkel running one of the cleanest and most upstanding programs in the nation. Miles would be expected to mind his Ps and Qs if hired there.
