LSU needs either a "Louisiana" guy (e.g., Del Rio?) or a guy whose alma mater or roots would not be as big of a draw as far as coaching destinations go (e.g., Kelly, Central Michigan?).
Even with Del Rio, you might wonder if he would have his eye on USC? I keep hearing about his daughters and LSU, so maybe that's something.
LSU is firmly entrenched among the CFB elite, IMO, and shouldn't have to go through this every three or four years.

i agree if we are a top 10 job like i hear from the talking heads, why are we going through this?
Dietzel left in 61
Arnsparger was just "going to talk" to Miami left late 80's
Notre Dame wanted to talk to DiNardo (should have let them)
Lord Saban...well we know
Miles.... TBA
An elite team should not go through this. We look like a stepping stone job.

What exactly has Del Rio done to distinguish himself.

Kelly went to Assumption.
Concerns with him wouldn't be returning to an Alma Mater, but when the NFL comes calling in a couple of years after he's one of the elite college coaches.
This dude is a straight winner and will ride his next job to an NFL stop...

I strongly disagree. I don't think that's how Lombardi, O'Keefe and the boys should go about finding the next coach if Miles leaves.
I mean, I understand where you're coming from......and all of that but I don't think we should write off really good coaches to get coaches who fit your description.

I don't understand the logic of trying to find a guy who you think is going to be here for a long time. If that's the best man for the job, then the fact he'll be here a long time is icing on the cake. But, if you told me we could get a coach for the next four years who is likely to bring us to the SECCG every other year and compete for a national title while here, but he'd be gone after those 4 years, then I'd rather that coach over the "up and comer" who is going to be here 10 years if things pan out.
My personal choice, despite his past with us, is Tuberville. The guy has gotten it done at Auburn with Alabama to compete with for the best recruits, and he would be coming here to retire. That satisfies both of the above qualifications...the best candidate available and likely to be here for a long time.
All of this, of course, is contingent on Miles leaving. I'd really prefer Miles to stay because I think he's got a great thing going here. If he doesn't get the Michigan job, I have a feeling we won't be having a head coaching search for a long time.
