Alleva should....

If an Ogeron led Tiger team makes it to the Sugar Bowl-he may want to place a call to former Tulane athletic director Sandy Barbour about making the "cosmetic hire". After Tulane's undefeated season under Tommy Bowden and Rich Rodriguez as his highly successful OC, Barbour ignored calls to promote Rich Rod as HC-even after Bowden said his success was attributed to Rodriguez's offensive plan-and hired Georgia OC Chris Selfo....she was run out of town..and Tulane's football program NEVER recovered. Rich Rod was an offensive innovator-great recruiter, and wanted the job.

Terrible comparison. Tulane's undefeated season was an anomaly for the program. Also, Rich Rod had never been a HC before that point. To compare this situation to the Ed Orgeron just doesn't work.

Did Miles attribute his success to the D-line coach who was there for 2 of the worst years of his tenure?

Alleva wants jimbo and has wanted jimbo. O is making things tough on him. If O wins out its those two and that's it. If jimbo doesn't accept O gets the job. Or if alleva feels O has done enough then he pulls the plug on jimbo talks and goes with O. I'm sure feelers have been sent out just in case O loses but it's looking like he won't which imo eliminates everyone but jimbo.

there's a scenario for everything. This shite isn't transitive.

Neither had Chris Scelfo. If they were going to make a hire with no HC experience, they may have made the wrong choice.
I'm not trolling. Can you give me one example of a coach that had prior HC experience that had a winning record of 0.286 or even 0.417, that was a success at their next stop? Objectively with the "success" also, I'm not even going to ask for >0.750 or >0.800, just what you would deem a success for your school. Remember, we are not talking about just any program, we are talking about YOUR program, the one that felt 0.770 (or 0.709 2012 - fired) was not successful enough to keep. Orgeron would have to win the next 2 games this year, then go on a run averaging 11 wins per year for the next 8 years to get to 0.714, Miles career record is currently 0.719. Please keep all that in mind when thinking about what constitutes "success" for you and your program.

Well, at least you're not trying to compare O to Bill B and Pete Carroll like some have attempted to do. I give you credit for that.
2. Rich Rod has been a traveling coach for years. Had some success at West Virginia but since then has been mediocre to bad.

I think you're mistaking me for someone who wants to keep O. I'm not. Simply pointing out that there is no coorelatuon between the Rich Rod situation at Tulane and CEO's here at LSU. Rich Rob was a successful OC at Tulane who was bypassed. CEO is an failed HC that has had moderate success as an interim.

If this were the Tulane job in question I could understand it.
