re: LSU has a homerun hire to replace Miles or this wouldn't be happening

I agree. Bama was getting ripped pretty hard during the coaching search when they got Saban but they definitely ended up getting the last laugh. You've gotta think LSU knew this would be a pretty unpopular move nationally due to the popularity for Les as a coach and CFB personality. I don't expect them to be "starting a comprehensive coaching search" when they announce the departure of Les.
