There is no science to picking a coach. But it is faulty reasoning to believe that because teams are often unsuccessful at hiring a great coach, that it somehow follows that LSU can't. I mean, he's gone at some point right? Does that mean we suck eventually anyway? And LSU has made two great hires in a row, right? Why not a third? It's not science. You either get a great coach or you don't. You stack the odds in your favor by hiring a proven guy from a great conference who has already done it.And you hope it works out. That is as good as it will ever be.

You're right, I'm simply pointing out how difficult it has been to get the right guy in the past.
There is a high likelihood that LSU fans will long for the .775 winning percentage that Miles has accumulated. That doesn't necessarily mean he should stay, but it is something.

Using SEC past as reference --
Worst case scenario: This is Tenn. part 2. Fire a long time successful HC because he is "stale", "not winning enough", etc. Then, spend the next decade and 3 different coaches trying to regain what you once had.
Better Case scenario: You have the same success Bama did when they hired Gene Stallings. To do so they fired Bill Curry who had just gone 10-1 and was the SEC and National coach of the year. Why was Curry let go? He couldn't beat Auburn
