Cast your vote here. Who would you prefer to be the head coach of our beloved Tigers?

Les Miles:

80-18 with LSU over 7+ years
3 SECw titles, 2 SEC, and 1 BCSNC
5-2 Bowl record
Recruited talents like Patrick Peterson, Mo Claiborne, Michael Brockers, Stevan Ridley, Jordan Jeffeson(lulz), and 2012 Heisman candidate Tyrann Mathieu
LSU averaging 432.8 yards/gm, 39 ppg

or someone significantly less proven with a high powered offense?

Dana Holgorsen:

involved in Texas Tech offense 2000-07
2010 okie St. OC
2011-12 West Virginia Head Coach (14-3)
West Virginia averaging 598.5 yards/gm, 53 ppg

Art Briles:

Recruited and developed Heisman-winning QB Robert Griffin III
2008-12 Baylor Head Coach (28-25)
Baylor averaging 601.5 yards/gm, 54.3 ppg

Jimbo Fisher:

2000-06 LSU OC
2007-10 FSU OC, 2010-12 FSU HC (24-8)
FSU averaging 544.4 yards/gm, 51 ppg

This is no way a flame or troll, I'm genuinely asking the Rant if they'd take almost a sure 10 wins per season with Les Miles, albeit "boring" and a bit frustrating at times, or take a risk with a relatively unproven HC with a high-powered offense?

TL;DR you want Les or someone else?

Anyone who would honestly switch for any other college coach besides maybe Nick Saban based on success, recruiting, and records is looking for a reason to end their life.

I old rather be 0-5 with a top passing offense than 5-0 with a shitty one

Yes I am being sarcastic

Im not saying it is time for Les to go but when or even if that time comes , I like Holgerson. I like his fire, I like his offensive philosophy and hopefully he could just hire a SEC type Defensive coordinator.

Any of those 3 would run circles around Miles as a game day coach.... Don't know about recruiting but Les doesn't seem to get the most out of his players like the other coaches do... And I bet any of those 3 know how to manage the clock and knows what down it is !!!!

I think Les is fine for a head coach. They should look at Tony Franklin from La Tech as an offensive coordinator. He did good things at Kentucky, MTSU, and Troy. He is also a highly regarded recruiter. Look at LA Tech's offense, imagine that explosive offense with our talent with a Chavis defense, It would be epic!!
