Michigan and Arky. Arky offered him more than he gets here. Everyone else knows he isn't going anywhere


What if he took the Arky job? Imagine for a second. Going into that game with the Hogs, would you be feeling nervous about being out coached? Les is good because Louisiana is fertile enough to compete with anybody. Would Les be able to lift another school to elite status? Yea I know LSU has been down but look at the coaches that were here? What have they gone on to accomplish after they left LSU? Archer, Hallman, Dinardo. They were not "good" head coaches at D1 level competing in the SEC. Miles is a "good" coach and LSU is good. Cholly Mac was a good coach and LSU was good. The point is, there are other coaches who are better than good... maybe great if given the opportunity. I like Les but accept the fact that he is just a good coach. I personally feel LSU could do better.

I just don't buy this statement, talent doesn't win games if you dont believe me just ask Florida, USC, Texas, Michigan and I can keep going. It takes development and coaching to win college football games not talent! What makes a coach a great coach in your eyes?

What better coach is currently on the market now that you would take over Miles?

A truly good coaching job is a combination of several things. Namely coaching ability, recruiting ability, and right environment at the school.

Les has that combination here. Saban had that combination here. Did Saban take Michigan St to elite status? Nope. All the ingredients weren't there. It's not so simple as just being a good coach.

Who?

And this bullshite about Louisiana is false. Miles was the head coach during the worst cycles in 2 decades. Florida had quadroople the amount of draftees as Louisiana. These big states have enough talent to field multiple teams. What about ga? They have 2 d1 programs, Louisiana has 5. There are not enough top level recruits in LA to even compete in the sec west unless you go out of state.

Just since Les has been here, not enough elite qbs, no elite linebackers, and rt now, I haven't seen any elite dts. How can you win championships with that?

He's not taking the Arky job. But if he takes the Michigan job and takes his coaches with him.......

What did the above accomplish at LSU. Under what circumstances did they leave LSU?

Who? Ok I know who you worship, but considering he will never leave where he is, who else do you guarantee would do better?
