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.


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.

Jimbo didn't stay around long, Muschamp couldn't be hired back, Dunbar didn't stay,now there are rumors about friction with Crowton. I'm beginning to have concerns that any worthy young coach would be wary about joining a Miles staff.

I think being only one year removed from a NC will still be a huge draw, and I think there are some real good defensive minded coaches out there that would jump at the chance to make their mark, if for no other reason that the advancement that coaching at LSU has given people like Jimbo, Muschamp, Reese, Pelini, and others. Where a stepping stone might appear to be a negative because of what happened with the departure of Pelini this year, it's also a big draw in the coaching profession to guys wanting to make their mark in the world.
