Realistically who would be our next coach

If Les was gone who could come in a take us to the next level.

Well, it's premature since Les will still be here for at least a couple more years unless he leaves for another job (and let's face it, we just don't get that lucky). By then, the whole landscape will be different. Hell, other SEC teams have found what they wanted raiding the Sun Belt for first-year coaches. The main thing that will be different, though, is that LSU won't be the prime job that it is now, so that will probably make things harder for us. Putting off a tough decision always makes it tougher. As Jeremy Foley said about Ron Zook, "what must be done eventually, must be done immediately".

If we loose more then three games next year we are going shopping.

OL play is going to be worse with the same offense. Ouch.

Wow, no direct answers to your question so I will give you a list to your direct question and certainly in no particular order:k
Hugh Freeze, Gary Patterson, Jim Mora Jr. , Todd Graham, James Franklin, Jim McElwain, Rich Rod, Dan Mullen, Gary Anderson, Mark Dantonio, Brock Mendenhall, Kyle Whittingham. Questionable but worth mentioning, Lane Kiffen, Bobby Petrino, Jimbo Fisher. Is that enough names for you and Im not even going the Assistant coach route such as Kirby Smart and other NFL assistants?

Cmon u know the answer is nick saban

I like the idea of the Wazzu coach

From a post this past Sept from a talk Justin Vincent gave to the Gulf Coast Athletic Club and it caught my attention.

Said that Coach Chavis is really serious and rarely if ever smiles or even talks. Said the other day Miles, during a coaches' meeting, was cracking jokes and laughing and Chavis looked at Vincent and said, "Why am I here?"

I think Chavis has earned a shot.

Serious answer- Doug Pederson- KC OC

NFL experience, Louisiana HS recruiting ties, QB development, Offensive mind...

Would be a surprise hire but a good one...IMPO
