dantonio has health problems, snyder is old, cutcliffe is 60. We would just be doing this again a few years down the road.
Briles and Patterson have turned down big jobs.
Look i love LSU, but some of you people are delusional.

Absolutely true. With the exception of Mike Archer, every LSU coach from Stovall forward has recruited well. It can't be that they were all just that good at recruiting, since most of them were really bad at just about everything else. Recruiting is easy at LSU. Hell, even Curley Hallman could do it. Practically anybody will recruit well at LSU, so all we need is someone who can coach great talent. You could have switched out Miles for any other coach in the SEC West this year, and I'll bet every one of them would have had a better season than Miles did. The same would have been true last year, too. To say that we can't get anyone better than Miles is silly. People said that about Stovall, Archer, Hallman and DiNardo, too, and they were wrong every time.
Yeah it just took us 8 tries to get a coach better than McClendon. But you guys are rt, we could just get anybody and they will win here. History says so, oh wait....

LSU is among the best jobs in America. Louisiana has some of the most fertile recruiting grounds in America, and LSU shares it with no other in-state school. We have some of the best facilities in America. We have a newly renovated stadium that is among the best in America. We have some of the most passionate fans in America, that makes our game day environment the best. We have an administration and board that supports the program winning.
LSU football is bigger than the coach, unlike a lot of other universities, where it's the other way around.

No it didn't. McClendon was running the program into the ground. He had a great first few years, then went downhill. His career lasted 18 years. The last 9 of those (half his career) were not as good as the next 9 after he was gone. The program didn't start to go downhill until 1989, ten years after Mac was gone. That decline had nothing whatsoever to do with his firing, as he would have been long gone by then even if he hadn't been fired.
Arnsparger (2nd coach after Mac) was better than Mac, and Saban (6th coach after Mac) was obviously better. Stovall (1st coach after Mac--Rein doesn't count) didn't really get a fair shot, or he might have been better also.

History says firing Stovall got us Arnsparger, firing Hallman got us DiNardo and firing DiNardo got us Saban. It also says firing Archer got us Hallman (which I would still consider an improvement because of the recruiting issue) and firing Mac got us Stovall (which even if you say was a step down was unique because of the timing of Rein's plane crash). The point of all this history is that replacing a coach frequently results in a better one, in fact it usually does.
However, even if it doesn't, the larger point is that a bad decision in choosing a replacement doesn't mean firing the previous coach was also a bad decision. Firing Mike Archer was a GOOD decision. The fact that hiring Hallman was a bad one doesn't change that.

Because Saban waited until Christmas Day to resign, after other schools who were looking had already hired the best available. For example, South Carolina had already hired Spurrier and Florida had already hired Meyer, both of whom were available and looking for jobs that year.

There are probably several, and most of them we fans have probably not even noticed. With a diligent and competent search, schools can often find a good coach that is available. That's how we got Saban, even though he wasn't all that hot a commodity at the time.

Alabama, Ohio St, Texas, maybe USC. Florida and Florida St are not better jobs than LSU. Auburn is a lower tier at least and so is Georgia and Oklahoma.
