having to try and find a coach this late



It wouldn't be that difficult. LSU is one of the top 10 coaching jobs (per ESPN), and most current coaches would be moving up if they went to LSU.


Sorry, but this type of thinking is delusional. Florida and Texas are the top jobs in the country and Florida had to go with a defensive coordinator. Miami is a pretty damn good job and they went with Golden Tate. Who did Pitt get? People just need to realize that Gruden, Saban, Petrino, Patterson, are not coming to LSU. And Mullen, Whittingham, Hoke, etc. are not slam dunk hires. People aren't tripping overthemselves to come here.

Also, LSU has the money!


Not really. We are willing to pay where others aren't, but we have little money compared to a lot of other schools.

Florida jumped the gun, in my opinion. They didn't even pursue some top coaches.

Miami and Pitt are not comparable jobs.
LSU is in the SEC, has great facilities, a great fan base, and a great recruiting base.

Obviously I was talking about the money that would be offered for a football coach---not the endowments.

Think about it. He has a high profile game to play in 2 days. He has to get his team ready for the game and deal with all the other demands on his time that playing in the Cotton Bolw involves. How hard is it to believe that he has told himself, his agent, and everybody else "I'm not even going to think about this until after the game."? Think about some analogous situation you have been in, where the job at hand is so important that you push other issues, even important ones, aside until the job at hind is finished. If you can do it, why can't he?


Post of the day.

People tend to forget that as of now (and Friday night) Coach Miles is still an employee of LSU. To comment right now would not only be inappropriate, but very likely detrimental to the task he's trying to accomplish AS an LSU employee.

That's a tad disingenuous. That "defensive coordinator" would have been my first pick (as well as that of a lot of other people) to replace Miles if and when he left.

Muschamp is ready to be a HC, and he will be a good one.
