f orgeron is our HC next year, then all that would mean is that we struck out big time with other top candidates. Would be bad news for lsu

I'd have to disagree with you, my man. Some universities (right or wrong) hire coaches that have ties to the program, whether it be former players that now coach or former long time assistants. USC does it. Michigan does it. Many others to name, but they do it so that the coach has an emotional bond to the school as well as financial motivation. Bebe may not be an lsu guy, but he's a Louisiana guy through and through and that makes him great lsu material. He bleeds p&g and he's a players coach. I think he's tailor made for LSU and think he will be a great ambassador for the state and it's flagship university. He has all of the positive qualities that Les had and hopefully he has the aggressiveness and fire that Miles lacked. If he beats bama and has a pretty decent run against the rest of the schedule I say give him the whistle for a few more years. Also give him a blank check for an offensive coordinator and a qb coach. Hate to say it, but we may need a new o line coach too.
