Could Purdue and former LSU head coach Les Miles be a match made in heaven?

According to Dan Wolken of USA Today, former LSU head coach Les Miles could be in line to be the next head coach at Purdue.

As Purdue marches toward the inevitable conclusion, one name I'm told to keep an eye on there: Les Miles — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) October 15, 2016

LSU fired Les Miles after a 2-2 start on the season. Since then, many teams have been thrown into the discussion as to who would land the national championship coach.

For those who question why Miles would be interested in the Purdue job, Wolken had a follow-up tweet.

Some of you guys are really overestimating the job market for Les. Not huge demand for guys on wrong side of 60 who run draconian offense — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) October 15, 2016

Purdue is 3-2 on the season, but is currently losing to Iowa 28-0 at the half. Current head coach of the Boilermakers Darrell Hazzell took over the program in 2011. Since that time Purdue has won just nine games out of 41 opportunities.

The addition of Les Miles to the Big Ten would make for a very interesting storyline. The former SEC coach would join big names such as Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, and Mark Dantonio.
