He wants to be HC again, and I don't think we want him to be HC for real (I don't see him being on the short list)

He resigned from USC for the same reason.

If you make a coaching change you have to be prepared to lose everybody. It comes with the territory. You may keep some, but you can't count on it.

This is a very good point. Hopefully Miles wins enough to prevent a mid-season change. That would be very bad.

I'd agree I think

once he tastes the waters, he doesn't want to go back?

I don't know...hopefully O would be retained

Give him a shot. 2 year contract. Can't do much worse. I think he learned from the Ole Miss experience.

Good god, y'all want the best of the both worlds. Just to let you know, when Les' time to go comes, you're more than likely going to lose your whole staff.

At this point I really don't care who we lose. If a coach on this staff is willing to lose valuable years by coaching under Miles without convincing him to change then they don't possess great leadership skills. I don't see how they haven't revolted by now.

We ain't losing no one.. It's LSU and everyone stays like every other season unless someone resigns for some other lucrative offer.

This is the bottom line. If Les goes, O goes. O will not get the HC gig and isn't going to just stick around for the next guy.

Agreed. Like Miles, great recruiter and nice guy, but not Championship coaching material.

If Kifin lands a HC gig, he will get coach O, should Miles be cut lose.

I didn't want O before he came on board. Since he's here, I've decided I was wrong and I like him. But not enough to do nothing in the face of this crossroads at LSU football. If he stays, good for him and us. If he goes, blessings to him on his way. If CLM stays, we still have no guarantee he stays. Nor Aranda.

Yeah let's not get a head coach so we don't make the line coach mad.

Maybe Jindal will step in again and insist that Peveto get the interim gig.

Thanks Bobby

Worth the risk. We may lose him either way. We make him interim and tell him if we win the SEC-West he gets a 2 year HC contract beginning in 2017. Incentivize him to do the right thing. In this scenario, we have a chance to see some real adjustments to be made. Coach O can do this. Miles cannot. Take the chance and roll forward accordingly.

I'm a huge O supporter. Been pumping him for years and would love for him to be our HC. Kids love playing for him. But I cant take him over Herman or others we could possibly get. I do think he would be more likely to stay here because LSU is home. You are correct though, he would be good here and bigger names would come calling
