re: List of coaches to replace Miles if Miles does indeed take the UM job

My list if I'm LSU's AD:

1. Gary Patterson

2. Jumbo Fisher

3. Art Briles

4. Dan Mullen

5. Kirby Smart

All five of those guys would be great hires and I think the top three would actually be upgrades.

Patterson has won conference titles in three different leagues. He took TCU from a mid-tier Conference USA team to three points away from winning a Big 12 title and making the Final Four.

Patterson would kill it at LSU. I think Briles and Jimbo Fisher would, too.
