Do the names out there for Florida and Michigan concern the Miles haters?

I've been a pretty strong supporter of Miles and I don't want him to leave especially considering the options out there...
I was wondering if the gamble of hiring some of these mid-level developing coaches that are being thrown out as candidates make the Miles haters nervous about getting rid of our coach? The percentage that fail or do worse than CLM is very high.
It scares the hell out of me...I would hate to end up like Florida or TN, TX, Mich...

I agree, if Miles left who would we get to replace him? I am not particularly impressed with the candidates floating around for the open positions.

no, not at all.
even the supposed 'homerun' hire will be a crapshoot.
if miles leaves, then i'm sure TAF will do its due diligence with finding a worthy replacement.
But, downplaying the options out there is not the right thing to do in this case.
Keep in mind that Miles was anything but a homerun hire when he got the LSU job, and he's done a great job here. The next guy, whenever that may be, has the tools and resources available to do the same.

Well it's gonna happen sooner of later so don't be scared . LSU will attract a lot of prime candidates and we still in the fertile crescent when it's comes to recruiting.

Were you unimpressed with Miles' resume when he was hired?
Saban's?

Do you think frank Wilson would stay on staff? I know it's speculative, but he seems pretty loyal to Miles.
Would really suck for him to go to A&M, Auburn, Alabama for the Mississippi schools

depends, is he loyal to Miles or is he loyal to LSU?
LSU has taken great care of him, and he's done a great job in his tenure here.
logically the next step in his coaching career would be as OC at a P5 school, or even HC at a smaller school. I can see him taking the latter route before the former.
LSU will probably try to do everything in its power to ensure that he is on the next staff. If the next guy is an offensive guy, it may be harder to keep FW as the new coach will probably bring in his own guys.

Not if Cam(@HC), John(@DC) and Frank(@OC) stay. It would be a welcome situation in my eyes.

yes, if we lose miles it would set LSU back 2 or 3 years minimum. if the new hire pulls a muschamp job on us, then add 3 more.
if les leaves, then I see both cam and chavis gone; probably with miles. I see Wilson to ole piss with freeze. then, all draft eligible juniors will enter draft. potentially lose 5* toliver and guice (follows Wilson) and other current or future 2015 commits.
losing les is a major risk.

Chip Kelly and the Harbaughs will always give them hope.

The commonality that Les and Saban have, and the biggest factor in their success at LSU, and the sustained success here, is that Saban convinced the top players in Louisiana to stop going out of state, and attend LSU. For the most part, and to his credit, Miles has continued that.
If Les leaves, LSU Football will be fine, as long as we hire a coach with half a brain who can continue bringing the top in-state players to Baton Rouge. Les proves that you don't have to be a spectacular x's and o's guy, a quarterback guru, or anything special as a game day coach to win here.

yes they do. If I thought LSU could make a proven hire, I wouldn't mind Les leaving. I'm NOT convinced that'll happen.

I would cry myself to sleep for a week if we promoted cam Cameron to head coach, good lord no.

the problem with les leaving is that it will destroy the current coaching staff and the junior class (to nfl). the sec west is very competitive right now and lots of schools have recruiters with ties to la. neither of these factors were the case when miles or saban was hc. we will be set back if miles leaves. how long and how strong we recover is an open question.
