A guy whose never been a coordinator is going to take over a program like LSU. No.
Tell that to Dabo Swinney. Who went from recruiting coordinator/receivers coach to head coach of Clemson(which by the way beat us). You don't need to be great at the X's & O's you just need to hire the right people and recruit your butt off.

Urban Meyer wasn't a coordinator either, but he did start out at a couple lower level schools before the UF job. he was WRs coach at Notre Dame right before taking over Bowling Green.

Dabo Swinney was an interim head coach for 6 games after Bowden left, so he proved himself that way.
Also LSU as a program is on another level than programs that hire guys that haven't cut their teeth as a head coach somewhere or even a coordinator.
It's more to coaching than just recruiting and hire the right people. It's about managing a program.
And that's why you'll never see top teir programs hire guys who haven't proven themselves beyond a position coach as a head coach.
