You act as if a HC can't have a decent record at a small school.

What about Northwestern's coach? He at least had some winning seasons.

What about Baylor? Art Briles has shown success there.

What about UCF? O'Leary's certainly had success.

What about Purdue? Joe Tiller had success there.

What about Duke and the success Cutcliffe is having?

All of these schools at one point in time, someone could've said "at fricking xxxxx"
You make it sound like it isnt' possible for a good HC to produce results at a small school. It doesn't look bad to you that he couldn't produce not ONE winning season with one of the most dynamic QBs in big 10 history? And you completely ignore he was the HC for one of the worst seasons in NFL history. Seems like a classic case of good coordinator, bad coach to me.

It should. It's been proven time and time again, even at a program in the same state (Purdue) that small school can have success or at least a winning season.

Also, what would you consider Les' best skill? Most would say recruiting. Why not continue that with Frank and leave Frank to hire good coordinators. Pretty much keeping in continuity. If LSU doesn't look outside (which they fricking should) for the next hire, then I'd rather Wilson be named HC over Cam. At least Wilson is a good recruiter. Cam is unproven as a recruiter.

And you make it sound like just because he didn't have success 13 years ago at the historically and unequivocally worst program in the Big Ten that he can't have success at a huge football powerhouse like LSU.

You really think it was the fault of their offense that they never had a winning season?

You grossly underestimate the administrative and managerial skills it takes to run a program like LSU. Wilson needs more experience before he can step into that role. His recruiting will absolutely be a huge tool for him, though.
