If LSU were to move away from Miles, who would you like to see hired?

So you guys know that there have been a myriad of posters inundating the board with threads and posts about how unsuccessful the last couple of seasons have been. Les Miles is not the right coach for the job at LSU and LSU would be better off without him. I fully expect some to come and say "oh, that's not what I actually said!" You may not have said it, but that's what you feel. You just want room to crawfish.

Now, I've asked this question in numerous threads and failed to get names from most of these posters that have been going on tangents about how LSU will never be successful in landing a National Championship or even a National Championship appearance again. (Didn't we hear that before '11 as well?)

With that said, can we play the hypothetical game? If posters are going to make these claims that Miles will never do any better than 10-2, 11-1 in the SEC, there must be a back up plan if Miles were let go. There MUST be another coach that most of you have in mind to replace him. I want to see some names. I don't want to read some long drawn out response about me "missing a point." If you guys dislike him and his ways so much, you obviously have someone better in mind. I am just politely asking you, who is that coach?

Remember, please be realistic. I'm not asking who COULD do it. I'm asking for a name of a coach that LSU would have a realistic chance at landing. A coach that's NOT already cemented in a lateral job. A coach that will NOT sustain the program, but to bring it to the next level AND keep recruiting at the same level and/or better than Miles. There are massive amounts of subplots to take into consideration.

Sorry for the long post and I know this subject has been covered before. I just feel like alot of these people should be called out and they should answer as to who they feel is better.


Note to admin: not sure if it were the title, so I renamed it. Or you just didn't like my post.

ETA: Saw the message. got it

It would be very hard for LSU to move. I see LSU staying where it is. Now, Miles could move much easier, since he's not a building and such.

nah. Doesn't fit. This is hypothetical like most of the thoughts of the posters I want to hear from.

I dont think anyone available would be an upgrade.

Coaches that are available obviously dont have good jobs now. There is a reason for that.

If Taggart had more than 3 years HC experience, I'd like him for the job. But I don't think he's ready for a job as big as LSU.

Sarkisian maybe. Gundy maybe. James Franklin maybe. Pat Fitzgerald.

I really don't know.

My thought would be David Shaw. He has a pro style offense and a solid to great defense

I guess the question about Nick Saban would be answered once and for all. My easy guess would be that he would stay put at Alabama, but stranger things have happened.

Shaw seems like he could be a good coach, but lets give him a few years. If miles won with sabans players, shaw is def riding harbough rt now.

Another thing i would be worried about is making sure you got a coach that could hit the south hard for players. If he cant do that, we fail.

Do we get to keep Chavis? Yes? Then how about..

Mark Richt.

He might be ready for change.

Shaw seems like a reasonable choice. I'm sure I named a couple guys that people are going to bitch about.

Richt? Never won a bcs title with one of the most talent rich states in the country. Cant lock down Geogia, might not lock down Lousiana. Plus richt has gone out of his way to let you know his distaste for our fanbase. he would never come here.

Think about the coaching combination, TigerTatorTots.

Richt's offense with years of success coaching up top QB's.

Combined with Chavis' defense.

Good fit. Those guys could win.
