Ends with us giving a promotion and raise to position coach who's last stint as a DC ended in embarrassing fashion. He's suppsefly interviewed over a dozen candidates and this fricking guy is the best fit?
Someone please try and explain this to me.

what is scarier?
1. nobody said no and Les chose Steele because he truly thinks Steele is the best available DC candidate
or
2. everybody said no and LSU is truly on tDecline and nobody of quality wants to work at LSU under Les

Just guessing
Maybe alleva wouldn't give miles the funds needed to bring in a DC plus assistants. We needed a dc who would come alone and could coach LBs.

haven't read through this thread yet, and it may have been mentioned a number of times, but it's obvious why THIS was the hire.
We lost the DC/linebackers coach (chavis), and Miles wasn't going to change/shuffle the position coaches on defense or allow another DC to bring in his own staff forcing coaches to move/leave. So Miles is forced to find a DC who fits as a linebacking coach and the DC round peg into a round hole.
Some coaching candidates may have been a linebacking coach, but wanted to bring in their own guys so they got crossed off, and other candidates wanted to be the DC and coach the line or DBs so they got crossed off the list like a square peg in a round hole.
In the end, Steele was the only round peg that fit into the round hole. It's the history of Miles. He can't adapt or change his philosophy or structure, so he continues to force the issue. His offense is a perfect example. When the QB is a pro-style pocket passer it works, but when we have a dual threat QB that likes to move the pocket or scramble, the offense looks inept.
I'm not bashing the hire because it may turn out great, but after 3 weeks of searching, it is very underwhelming when you interview names like Pendergrast and Shoop and float NFL names. In the end a name that was floated early and looked like a hire that screams we settled on the easy fit is just disappointing.
I truly hope he is great, and is the right fit at LSU, but is most definitely a hire that causes concern. Anyway...
