to come to LSU? Just one, that's all I am asking?

OC is what I was referring to, not HC.

I bet my house LES is well liked by assistants in the coaching circle.

No HC shows more loyalty to his assistants than LES

Because he could get a HC gig somewhere else. You're welcome.

There are about $400K reasons, unless he can get some more "reasons" somewhere else.

Dumbest reason I have heard, I think. What makes people think Miles will make him become subordinate? Do you think these coaches live in a vacuum and don't know what goes on at other schools?

Miles could tell him, "look I know you had a bit of a situation at TT. I don't care. I want us to work together to make this happen."

The media could bill them as the Dynamic Duo: The Hatter and The Pirate!

Leach would make Buddy look like a freaking rock when they were on air. Leach is a genius.

By not coming here, Leach would restore his credibility?

Where he might have to build a program up? One with less resources? Why would he want to do that when he can "be born with a silver spoon" so to speak at LSU? Come in, run the offense like we all know you are capable of, and win championships only having half of the team to worry about.

Not necessarily. Why are so many people set on this idea?

This won't cancel out after al the other factors are taken into account? Better team. Better players. Better fanbase. Etc.

Which makes you wonder about Les. DiNardo isn't so far removed from the program that Les should learn from DiNardo's mistakes.

Because LSU hasn't fired Gary Crowton and he thinks it would be awkard sharing an office with a Morman.

Also,

May want autonomy in play calling which doesn't seem to be something Miles wants to allow.

Also,

May be holding out for another head coaching job.

Jimbo Fisher disagrees.

Look, it's no secret Les likes to have his hand in the offense. He wants an OC that would allow this. That OC is not Leach.

By definition, the offensive coordinator is subordinate to the head coach.

And how is seeking a head coaching job instead of a coordinator job a "dumb reason"?

With the pressure on him now and the crap that has been happening over the past few years, he might not have much choice any longer.

Why? Do you think Miles will talk down to him and belittle him? Does Miles dictate what Chavis should do? Do HCs and Cs have that bad of relationships? Is it THAT far fetched of an idea that a HC and an OC can't get along and almost be like a team?

Yea on paper. But people are making it sound like it is far different than a simple title designation.

Leach is a terrible fit. He runs the spread as far as philosophy. Miles loves running and the Power I. Miles does not like finesse offense. Two coaches with completely different offensive philosophies. How is that a fit? It's like a pirate and a soldier living together.

This was covered in depth a few days ago, and was found to be not really correct because Leach can adapt and has shown traits that Miles would like.
