my top 5 coaching candidates (if Miles leaves)

i'm afraid that Miles has been thinking about the michigan gig all year...and he is as good as gone already. Here are my top 5 guys. I hope our administration is not prideful enough to give some coordinators a chance.

1. Jack Del Rio - He wanted the job a few years ago but circumstances just didn't work out. I think he would be an outstanding head coach at LSU. Very passionate guy...great personality...great motivator...great defensive mind.

2. Will Muschamp - He is a head coach in waiting. Some would argue that LSU is not a place where head coaches make a name for themselves...but I don't see why we couldn't hire him if he comes in and lays down an impressive recruiting plan, coaching plan, coordinators plan, etc.

3. Jim Grobe - This guy has done an incredible job at Wake Forest, a basketball school first. Think about how hard it is to recruit football players to Wake Forest. He has coached up his guys the last few years...won the ACC last year...he'd be worth an interview anyway.

4. Bill Cowher - A pipe dream in my opinion. He is an NFL guy. Don't get me wrong...it'd be amazing to have him in Baton Rouge. We'd have to put some sort of NFL clause in his contract or something. Think about the possiblities of "The Chin" in Baton Rouge.

5. Rich Rodriguez - I'm not convinced that he'd leave WVU...but it'd be worth a shot to get him. He knows Louisiana...done a great job at WVU...great offensive schemer...and he would bring in a great coaching staff.
