So Gonzales would be a great pick, with Miles overseeing his new arse.

Damn! There wouldn't be enough coaches to fill the head spot for all 120 FBS teams if you did that.

I guess Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll shouldn't have jobs now, huh?

why is Gonzales such a great hire at OC? He's never been anything higher than a WR coach. UF even passed him up. I'm not saying he can't be a good OC, but there is no evidence to suggest he is "a great pick".

Gotta start somewhere. I like his enthusiasm he brings for starters.

I agree, all coaches have to start somewhere. I just don't want LSU being the place where a young coach learns whether or not he can be a decent OC. LSU needs an established/proven OC, not someone who will learn on the job.

nah, sometimes coaches (or any other profession) are fired for reasons not their fault. these guys have something to prove and may be a damn good hire. look at buffalo; they just fired their entire staff. don't tell me all of those coaches are bad.

Sure, other teams can hire all of the fired coaches they want, I just hope LSU doesn't. Alabama hired Applewhite, who was what, 15 years old.......

Never fire a coach unless you have one better lined up. In the hand.........

Let's hope so. You always have to have a plan B.

This would disqualify tons of completely qualified coaches.

Belichick Fired By Modell
15-Feb-1996, Associated Press
"Art Modell needs to find a new coach. Modell, owner of the Baltimore NFL franchise formerly known as the Cleveland Browns, fired coach Bill Belichick on Wednesday.... The Browns went 5-11 last season, losing seven of their final eight games after Modell announced his intention to take the franchise to Baltimore.... In a statement, Belichick, 43, expressed his gratitude to the Browns organization. 'This team has an excellent future and I wish them well,' Belichick said. 'I will review my options with regard to my future in the NFL.'"
