re: LSU, the coaching talent pool is shallow

Saban wasn't a homerun
Miles wasn't a homerun
Jimbo for FSU wasn't a homerun-more of a safe pick
it just doesn't always work that way. Plenty of guys who could succeed at LSU.
you now who was considered a home run? Muschamp to UF. See what I mean?

So true

Spurrier to SC?
Kelly to ND?
Kiffin to UT/USC
Saban to Alabama. Wait, that one worked pretty well.

Miles had a 57% winning percentage when we hired him.
Saban had a 64% winning percentage when we hired him.
Dinardo had a 43% winning percentage when we hired him.
Hallman had a 64% winning percentage when we hired him.
Archer had never been a head coach before.
Arnsparger had never been a head coach before.
Currently...
Jimbo Fisher has a 82% winning percentage.
Tom Herman has a 95% winning percentage.
Larry Fedora has a 64% winning percentage.
Dan Mullen has a 61% winning percentage.
Jeff Brohm has a 72% winning percentage.
Willie Fritz has a 69% winning percentage.
Mike Gundy has a 66% winning percentage.
Bryan Harsin has a 74% winning percentage.
I literally just went down a short list of coaches. Outside of the top 2, everyone else on the list would absolutely take the LSU job. And every single one of those guys has a better winning % as a head coach than Les Miles did.
Bottom line, Les Miles was not a good hire. Skip wanted someone he could control who was not going to get calls from the NFL. Now, Les worked out at LSU for quite a while. But, he wasn't a good hire. He was a mediocre hire at best. A lot of that was due to timing.
Unless Joe Alleva just gets cute, we have a virtual 100% of hiring a head coach with a better resume than Les Miles had when we hired him. And there is a pretty good shot we could hire a guy who has had just as much success than Saban had before we hired him.
