re: Why are a lot of you afraid of a new coach? Afraid of change?

Got damn you and your kind are hard to stomach. It is hard to take you seriously when you go out of your way to discredit Miles at every opportunity.
Oklahoma State had won 6 or more games once between 1989-2000, yet Miles went 28-21 in his 4 years there. Gundy followed him and went 27-23 in his first 4 years. Miles was pretty impressive at Oklahoma State.

Did it ever occur to you that Alleva will be the one who makes the hire? Take a look at his past hires while at LSU and then take a moment and let the fact that he will also be filling in the football coach's job as well sink in.

Not really fair.
We'll never know what Bo Rein could've done. He was a home run hire at the time, a real up-and-comer.

Meyer and Harbaugh aren't falling into our lap anytime soon.
If you can't get Kelly, Dabo, or Jimbo, you shouldn't let go of Miles.

Uh, what about 1961...1987...1996...

Some people have the mentality through life: "It could be a lot worse." Others have the mentality: "It could be so much better."
Neither is wrong, but I think both can agree nothing will change until we cause it to. The question is: is the status quo what you want or do you want more?

Then we had Arnsparger fart around with us for 3 years and proceeded to then make the worst hire in LSU history (yes, worse even than Curley). Curley then finished off the half-dead corpse.
I keep hearing the "this is just like Cholly Mac" worries. People somehow conveniently forget that the coach LSU hired to replace McClendon unexpectedly died less than two months after being hired. Stovall was an emergency hire.

I'll repost from a similar thread: The confidence some of you have that a new coach will be an upgrade is bewildering to me. I'm starting to wonder if it's an age thing. I'm 45 and remember too well all the dark years(decades) before Saban/Miles. Even the few Arnsparger years were nothing compared to the last 15 years. Old Bill never got us close to sniffing a NC, we'd run him out of town now. Les has mostly fallen short, but he's kept us in the NC conversation most seasons. History says that success at LSU has been the exception, not the rule. Maybe it's just me, but I suspect a lot of you that are ready to pull the ripcord didn't spend the prime of your life rooting for a mediocre to crappy LSU team.

Where do we hang the 10-win season and Most NFL Players banners? Are there rings, too?

You're not wrong, but the reality is that it isn't a 50-50 proposition. The odds of it getting worse are much higher than the odds of it getting better.
And the next coach will be facing expectations equal to or higher than the ones Miles faced when he came here.
