We aren't hiring any coordinator with no HC experience at LSU, so it's a pointless discussion. Way too much risk in exchange for Miles. This will have to be a big time hire.

Exactly

While the hire wouldn't surprise me, that's not happening. This LSU team has the talent on the roster today to draw out a current HC.

Coaches who took over big programs with no HC experience:

Chip Kelly at Oregon
Patterson at TCU
Richt at UGA
Mullen at MSU (not really a "big" program, but an SEC job)
Shaw at Stanford
Fisher at FSU


It happens and often times - if it is the right hire for the right situation - it is very successful. Jimbo had been at FSU for a while so it eased the transition. Shaw grew up at Stanford where his dad coached, so he knew the culture well. Kelly had been OC at Oregon and Patterson had been DC at TCU. They knew the environment.
