The coaching wish list!!!
Posted on 1/10/11 at 4:55 pm

I am very torn on the situation. Les has won a large number of games while at LSU, including a national championship, but the fashion he has won some of them in is mind blowing. He is a GREAT recruiter and a all-around great guy it seems. If someone held a gun to my head and made me say which one I wanted, I'd go with wanting Les Miles to remain at LSU for a really long time.
However, if he does go to Michigan (and I wouldn't blame the man one bit for doing so), I think there are three things that need to happen in order for us to remain a top program, and perhaps even take a step up.
1- We need to hire a big name coach..and quickly
2- We need to keep 90% of this recruiting class together (hiring a big name coach would likely do this)
3- Crowton needs to be history.
I wouldn't mind bringing in an offensive minded guy and keeping Chavis and some of the other staff on board, but a lot of coaches want to come with their own staff so things would have to get mixed up.
Anywhere here is my wish list...
In this first group, I think it would be a miracle to land one of these guys but we HAVE to get the word to them and let them turn us down.
1. Nick Saban- have to express interest and make him say no. The guy is a great coach and recruiter. Kids want to play for him. I know some LSU fans would not like this.
2. Jon Gruden
3. Jack Del Rio
4. Urban Meyer
5. Chip Kelly
6. Bobby Petrino
This next group is where we'd likely snab one from, hopefully. If not...then I think losing Miles would hurt BAD!!
1. Gary Patterson
2. Chris Peterson
3. Guz Malzhan
4. Dan Mullen
5. Bo Pellini
6. Jimbo Fisher
If we fall into this category of coaches, then I think we would maybe be taking a big step back in coaching, recruiting, etc.
1. Butch Davis
2. Brad Hoke
3. Mike Gundy
4. Long list of others..

Hmm......there is something different about one of these guys but I'm not sure what it is.

the next LSU coach will be one of:
Art Briles, Larry Fedora, Mike Gundy

I know that Malzhan isn't a head coach, but his name has popped up in nearly every coaching vacancy. He will be hired as a head coach soon. There are others I would much rather have, but I'd also take him over quite a few current head coaches.

Throw Sarkasian in the mix if we're dreaming.

what does "snab" mean?
Posted on 1/10/11 at 5:01 pm to oOoLsUtIgErSoOo
Go down this list til someone tells you yes (starting at the top)....
Saban
Gruden
Petrino
Patterson
Peterson
Fisher
Sarkisian
Spurrier
Leach
Pelini
Mullen
Dooley
If for some reason you don't get any of those, then you turn to Marrone, Tuberville, Art Briles, Skip Holtz, or Kevin Sumlin.

Finally a coaching wish list. I've been waiting for one of these to be posted.

Combination of snatch, grab, or nab?

I bet you are big time in favor of Miles staying (nothing at all wrong with this)...But you probably also wish it would be one of these guys so you can come back and say that you were right all along and LSU fans got what they asked for...yada yada yada.

#1 Patterson
Realistically, I think it will be Pelini.

That makes me a little nervous...I wasn't comfortable with him as a DC.

I would take someone like a Skip Holtz before I took him. He will be a head coach soon, but not at a top level BCS gig like LSU. He will have go the Mullen route.

this was your good list - and sure you contact Saban and Kelly to make them say no - but they ain't leaving their present jobs IMO
