re: List of coaches to replace Miles if Miles does indeed take the UM job

quote:

---

Is whittingham still at utah? Would he ever leave?

---

Yes. I wouldn't mind him, but I just dont' see him leaving. LDS and all.

Jimbo was at LSU before/after $aban, don't see him coming back.

Gundy is an OSU guy through & through...don't see him at LSU.

Junior is a WC guy & will be a pain in USuCk's side for many years.

Not sold on Dabo.

Bert needs to stay in Hogland.

None of those on your list are realistic.

I agree a few aren't. (Bielema and JImbo)

Dabo is severely underpaid. Clemson couldn't match us. He is an SEC guy. I'm not saying he would say yes, but it's not unrealistic.

Mora, Jr. is a wild card. I don't even know. We could pay him a lot more than UCLA could, so I don't think it's unrealistic to ask either.

Gundy is definitely ours if we want him IMO. WE could make him highly paid and he doesn't get along well with his boosters and AD.

There is a reason UF and Nebraska didn't go after those guys

---

UF didn't go after anyone except McElwain. Foley had his guy in mind already.

NEbraska is a program nobody wants to touch due to poor geography and recruiting challenges. Plus, they just fired a 9-3 coach. Most coaches are like "frick that shite."

quote:

---

The most realist scenario is going to be that LSU promotes Cam to head coach in an effort to keep this coaching staff together. Cam will go out and get his guy for an OC, but we keep Chief and Wilson, which will be the reason he gets the job.

---

WORST frickING HIRE EVER. This guy has been a failure at EVERY HC stop. Worst NFL season in history under his watch. frick him. Have you seen this offense? LSU would be hiring Curly Hallman part 2 with this hire.

quote:

---

I know that's not what LSU fans want to hear, but that is what is going to happen is Miles leaves.

---

I highly doubt it. I think Cam goes with Les to Michigan.

quote:

---

Jimbo left because he didnt like miles.
I truly think he would listen

---

and leave FSU? he's undefeated going on two seasons there with an easy schedule every year in the ACC.
don't get me wrong, he's a great coach, but i don't think he'd come to LSU. Make him tell you no of course.

1. Bob Stoops
2. Jimbo Fisher
3. Mark Dantonio
4. Gary Patterson
5. Mike Gundy (if we can keep Chavis somehow)

Cam's a Michigan guy too. He'd likely go with Les if Les were to leave.

A name I left off. WOuldn't be a bad hire at all.

quote:

---

Mike Gundy (if we can keep Chavis somehow)

---

Gundy's Defenses have been as good as they can be considering talent. They've been decent. It's not like he's a sumlin or Briles.

quote:

---

Cam's a Michigan guy too. He'd likely go with Les if Les were to leave.

---

God I hope so. I"m not sure why so many LSU tards have fallen in love with Cam and proclaimed him HCIW when he was hired. He's literally failed at every position he's ever had.

quote:

---

Gundy and Mora are the only real possibilities on that list and I don't necessarily think they'd be certain successes here.

---

I doubt that T. Boone would let Gundy get away. If it's money no one can match Boone Pickens. Mora would be the most viable candidate with great upside potential. He made UCLA more than competitive again.

I know people think Harbaugh is a pipe dream, but imagine the amount of time people in Tuscaloosa, Auburn and Oxford would be spending in the bathroom and a gastrointrologist's office if he did coach LSU... almost too fun to imagine. Still think there's only a 20-25% chance of that

Jumbo would most certainly listen. He was a holdover and didn't mesh with Miles. He still has friends down here and enjoyed Baton Rouge. Of course, FSU would do what it takes to keep him.
