Hudspeth is no Curly 2.0. curly wishes he could be that good.
But I digress. I thought that maybe I was responding to someone that actually has a clue.

I personally believe firing Miles is an overreaction. Arguably the only issue with Miles is his inconsistent QB recruiting/development. He has shown that he is fully capable of running an aggressive, vertical offense when he has the talent. I think it is relatively easier to fix that than it is to find a new, more successful coach.

Hudspeths loss to LA Tech is probably more baffling than any loss under Miles.

Didn't mean to strike a nerve, Mrs. Hudspeth.

When lsu hired miles he only had a 28-21 record, was 0-3 in bowl games, and 3-10 against ranked teams.
I'm pretty sure we can find another one of those. ...

Wait you mean that teams struggled under the new coach after the old (successful?) coach left the team in turmoil (presumably why he was fired)???
I am STUNNED.

I'm not sure what Miles career pre-LSU has to do with the topic at hand. I effectively pointed out the very, very few times a coach as successful as Miles has been replaced and taken the program to a higher level. You're delusional if you think the numbers are on your side.

Read the OP you dunce. Florida and Alabama were at the pinnacle of CFB when they had to replace coaches. They both failed miserably.

That means nothing. What about Ohio state firing the sweater and Meyer killing the winning % since? Just pick and chose. Fact is , we have a great state for recruiting and we almost always seem to be a QB away. Nebraska, Miami, Boise state, Michigan, and Tennessee are all irrelevant.

When he was hired that's how good he was. ... and now he's the most successful lsu coach ever.
I'd argue lsu made miles and not the other way around

So 2 of your 5 examples are teams that the coach left voluntarily while they were still on top of the college football world, correct?
So the other 3 are situations that are much more similar to what we are seeing at LSU right now. Aka, teams where the head coach was removed because the team was shitting the bed. Shockingly enough, the new coach had similar struggles.
You are an absolute idiot if you cannot find the correlation.

He was 28-49 at Ok State, not exactly lighting it up there before coming here.
For the record, he was 28-21. He coached in 49 games. To put that record in perspective, it is the best winning percentage in Okie St history post-1950 for anyone who coached at least two seasons (Gundy has since passed him).
So, yeah. He WAS lighting it up.

So you agree that we're highly unlikely to find a successful replacement for Miles?
It was 7 years and the 3rd coach until Alabama found Stallings after Bear. It was 11 years and the 4th coach before Alabama found Saban after Stallings. If a program like Alabama struggles that much, what makes you believe LSU will do any better?

I was gonna correct the record as you did, so thanks and I was going to point out that in the previous 11 years before Miles got there, Oky State had only 1 winning season. Additionally, Miles has 1/3 of his total loses in his first year at the program (7 losses that year, his only losing season there)

Very long story short, any rational observer can see that there is little reason to be excited over having to replace Les Miles.
The moral to that story is that if you force out the winningest coach you have had who has a NC and couple of SEC Championships then the list of who is willing to come gets real short and they are not the ones you are looking for...

Probably not, Curly had this guy named Farve that made him look really good right before he got the LSU job. I blame Brett for that hire. Hud does not have anyone like that, although he has some good to very good players (not great though). If you have ever had the opportunity to hear him speak at an event, he is an excellent motivator. Probably why he'll do well at any mid level program. Not sure if his actual coaching skills will translate up to the next level (and by that I mean I literally have no idea, it is not a jab at the man).
My guess is that when UF hires Mullen away from Moo State they will consider and possibly offer Hudspeth since he was a coach there.

Greg Schiano would be a good choice. He was great at the college level, was humbled at the pro level, so he would be a great replacement for that inbred retard that takes up space on the sidelines now.
But then again....Daffy Duck would be better that Bozo Fudd.
