Kirby Smart is exhibit A for why you don't hire UNPROVEN HC

Okay?

Also, LSU isn't Georgia.

Miles was a very average coach and even he maintained and already established LSU team.

I'm not sure who you are referring to here.

I really believe LSU would do well with an offensive genius HC because they can always attract great DC's IMO with this talent.

Herman and Jimbo are still my #1 and #2. If Coach O wins out then he probably earned it.

But again, LSU is not Georgia. Are they still starting a true freshman QB?

agree

Nick is awesome

doesn't make you a Head Coach

What coordinators are even in consideration anyway? Kiffen isn't coming here

Don't remember Saban's record prior to LSU. But I am sure he learned from losing

I remember he was doing GREAT at Michigan State, and he was considered one of the up and coming coaches by those in the know.

1995–1997?—?Beginning in 1995, Saban moderately improved MSU's fortunes, taking the Spartans to minor bowl games (all of which they lost by double-digit margins) in each of his first three seasons. From 1995 to 1997, Michigan State finished 6–5–1, 6–6, and 7–5. In comparison, MSU had finished 5–6, 6–6 and 5–6 (prior to NCAA forfeits) in 1992–1994.
1998?—?On November 7, 1998, the Spartans upset the No. 1 ranked Ohio State 28–24 at Ohio Stadium. However, even after the upset and an early-season rout of then-highly ranked Notre Dame the Spartans finished 6–6, including three last-minute losses featuring turnovers, defensive lapses, and special-teams misplays, and failed to earn a bowl invitation.
1999?—?Saban led the Spartans to a 9–2 season that included wins over Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. However, the two losses were routs at the hands of Purdue and Wisconsin. Following the final regular-season game against Penn State, Saban abruptly resigned to accept the head coaching position with LSU. Saban's assistant head coach and successor, Bobby Williams, then coached MSU to a Citrus Bowl victory over Florida, giving the Spartans an overall record of 10–2 for the 1999 season. It would be the best season in terms of wins for the Spartans since 1965, and it would see the Spartans reach their highest ranking since the 1966 team.[21] Future NFL head coach Josh McDaniels served as a graduate assistant on Saban's 1999 coaching staff.

I could be a good DC under Saban. Most people knew that it would be hard to gauge Smart's success.

the year before Saban took over at MSU they went 0-11

His last season at MSU, they went 10-2

He was considered one of the bright up and comers and Emmert knew LSU HAD to get him

It's his first year at Georgia. You can't tell much right now. By year three one can make judgements on his head coach abilities.

Pot meet kettle..

Yeah, but Saban is the DC....come on. He basically is. Smart and Muschamp are only proving that Saban is a legend and ,without him, they are worthless.
