Hypothetical: If you had to choose Miles' successor, either Coach O or Cam..

Who would you choose? I'd have to go with Coach O. He has strong La ties and has shown during his time as USC's interem that he's learned a few things since his time at OM. Opinions, thoughts?

Either would fail. Cam, because he's not an alpha. And O, because he's not smart enough, nor does he know how to manage adults.

This is the same reason that Cassius nor Brutus could be Ceasar, because the fault was "not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings"

It amazes me how many people still think LSU is a coordinator hiring program. We were just ranked the thrid best coaching job in the SEC and in the top 10 nationally. A coordinator will never be hired again at LSU period.

Cam can run this program. Everyone put him on the pedastool whit what he did with Mett. Now he's garbage because of Jennings.

Jesus you guys have short memories...

Hopefully, neither man will ever be considered.

But especially not Orgeron - he's not a head coach.

Cameron is Miles' butt buddy who hasn't been particularly successful other places

Orgeron hasn't even coached a game at LSU yet

It takes a special OP to compel responses that make two highly-qualified professionals sound as if they shouldn't be allowed to work at McDonald's, much less be a head coach.

Only way I could see this would be if Miles had a health issue and needed to step down mid-season.

If that happens, I'd say Cameron would be the official guy; he's got more time in with both the team and the athletic department, and he's a lot closer to Miles personally.

That said, it would be a huge opportunity for Orgeron. He'd be a great resource for Cameron, having gone through the same situation at USC, and I could see him being an unofficial "co-head coach" and assuming a lot of extra responsibilities.

Orgeron still has a little of the "buffoon" label about him, and if he could co-exist seamlessly with Cameron and help rescue such a season, he'd likely shed that image and be a hot commodity for another program.

Neither would be ideal, but give me coach O. Les is what his assistants are as a coach. His strength is recruiting. If he were to leave we have to keep that part of the program top notch and I would take coach O over coach Cam to do that.

Cam Cameron would not make it 1 season. He would be a pathetic recruiter and no coaches would coach for this guy. In Miami he wouldn't allow his assistant coaches to drink! Not even at home....yeah, that will work.
