re: You're lucky to have Les Miles instead of Nick Saban

herein lies "the problem". I know of no one that would disagree with you. "the problem" is that a segment of LSU fans simply will never be satisfied with miles BECAUSE he's not as good as Saban. never mind that Saban wasn't as good here as he is at bama; never mind that Saban will never return to LSU and never mind that if these yahoo's run Miles off we PROBABLY (and imo, we likely) would end up with a coach that's not as good as Miles. Why? because top flight coaches don't grow on trees.

Within the last three years, both Auburn and Ole Miss have hired new coaches that, in just their first two and three years, respectively, have each 1) beaten Alabama, which LSU hasn't, 2) beaten LSU and 3) had a better season than LSU. And that's at Auburn and Ole Miss, neither of which has nearly the advantages and resources that LSU has. These two coaches, prior to arriving at Auburn and Ole Miss, had a COMBINED college football head coaching resume` of three years at Arkansas State.

Now, if two schools lower in the SEC pecking order than LSU can go out and find two coaches with a combined three years in the Sun Belt who can do, arguably, better than Les Miles has at LSU in the same time period, then why in hell would anyone assume that LSU could not find anyone who would do the same?
