There aren't many choices out there if Les leaves. Pelini or Mullen would be the best LSU can do right now, unless they can pull some mystery guy from the NFL.

I thought Butch Davis actually cleaned up the U. I may be mistaken but I seem to have registered that in my brain at some point. I know the agent thing at N.C., but was that all? There were quite a few teams caught up in that b.s.

I like Butch Davis as a coach and a recruiter, but like everybody else, definitely don't want a cheater. Just not sure where he falls. And I definitely don't want a bunch of thugs representing LSU.

Top 3 realistic coaching replacements for Miles....
NO to Pelini, he has turned into a sideline nut job. He would destroy the great chemistry we have on this team with this great group of men


Very True he acts bipolar

1. Mullen
2. Patterson
3. Pinkel
After that I guess Malzahn but I would rather someone with HC experience

Gruden? His lifetime win % is like .500.


rightr and that means he would suck as a college coach because he was not great all the time in the pros? look at NFL failures like erickson, saban and spurrier who have excelled in college ball.

Is Derek Dooley an option? I would love nothing more than to see UT scrambling for another HC for third straight season.

I actually like Sark more than Mullen.


Sark is an interesting choice that never really occurred to me for some reason. I've seen a lot of him living in Seattle, and he seems to be a really personable guy and a solid coach. I think he'd be a solid hire.

eta: I don't know if he'd be interested in leaving the west coast though.

Pinkel follows the LSU logic, rescue a coach from either a recruiting wastleand or a big brother little brother rivalry. hand him the keys to our talent and watch the magic happen. we have to get a coach that will make the most of Mett. Mullen is not the answere to that.

No. If it happens to be a good fit, fine, but we're not pairing our new coach with a JUCO QB

One QB shouldn't influence a coaching change. Jesus the way the rant talks you would think Mett is the second coming of Dan Marino or something

-Patterson
-Peterson

Both are long-shots, but make them say no.

-Mullen

Most realistic. Would be thrilled with him.

-Malzahn
-Smart

I could live with one of them if they hire a good staff -- like Muschamp -- but I'd much prefer someone with HC experience.

Not sure what to think about Pelini.

Pinkel would be a good hire IMO. I'm not sure if LSU will be able to poach a head coach from another school as easily as some on here believe though

Gruden is not an option (thankfully).

I'm not sure all of those are realistic but those are three that are worth a shot.

This is what scares me -- look at Florida. That, and the possibility of Alleva completely botching the hire.

I'm not crazy about Miles, but shite, if he makes a good OC hire, LSU could keep truckling along in the first tier of the SEC (or re-enter the first tier, at least). A bad hire and shite could be set back for years.
