re: LSU, the coaching talent pool is shallow

What outsiders fail to admit or see is the path LSU was going down with Miles. It was over for him and he had been declining for several years. LSU spent a ton of money on assistants to try to keep Miles afloat. There are plenty of coaches out there that can maintain/improve from where Lsu has been the last 3 years. Also home run hires make a splash but those don't always work out. Plenty of good coaches out there that could do great things at LSU given the resources. Herman appears to be the real deal but if you take a step back his 2 big wins are an overrated OU that has disappointed plenty of times in recent years and a FSU team in a bowl that had no desire to be there. The rest of the games were garbage opponents outside of Lousiville last year.
