1) Les Miles is NOT leaving or getting canned after this year regardless, so let's just all deal with realities here.
2) Les MUST replace those two DCs with a top notch DC, one who actually coaches hands on with the Defense, if he has any hope at all of righting this ship, retaining his recruits, and keeping this ball rolling. If not, then you can start the countdown to his demise, and then if we are fortunate enough, getting another Nick Saban of sorts to come in here and lock up the state again, and bring LSU back to where it belongs. If not, then buckle up for the rollercoaster. This is the fork in the road for Les Miles though. He's at the point right now where he's got the opportunity to illustrate his competance as the head man. Everyone is capable of making mistakes and even getting in a ditch you feel you can't escape from, and every time you struggle you get more bogged down. However, this is now his time to prove he's an overcomer and not a hard head ego maniac that has to prove it's his way or the hwy, and he's going to live and die with his committments. That doesn't win football games. We've seen it all too often in football, and at LSU in the past.
3) JJ must be worked with heavily in the off season by a QB coach to quicken his delivery, and to make quicker decisions, as well as how to read defensive packages. He's got raw talent galore, but he's still not ready for prime time just yet. Lee needs to seek counseling on how to deal with those game jitters and nerves that causes him to freak out, and also worked with in not staring down his receivers, of which JJ seems to be much better at avoiding. Hatch just needs to get better physically, and work on getting more proficient and poised in the pocket.

LSU will bounce back with a 9 or 10 win season.

Great post and I agree. However, who will this defense savior be??? And will he be willing to come here??? I think LSU fans all to often think and expect that every person out there is just dying to be an LSU coach - I personally don't think so. This perfect individual may be out there, but can LSU get him here??? Getting him here may be as big a problem as finding him in the first place.

I'm with you 100% on this one. I thought LSU needed someone with talent and experience at developing QBs back when we had JaMarcus.
Polish those throwing mechanics, footwork and decision-making process.

I agree with you. Only problem is, a lot of kids back out of their commitment when the coaches that recruited them leave, and this includes Sheppard and Loston.
