re: What coaching hire would have LSU in a different spot?

So far, no one has thrown out any names.... but if I were Alleva, here's what I would have done.... and remember, he was ready to fire Miles in 2015.

First, I would always have a list of potential candidates ready. He's been an AD a long time. He knows people, coaches and agents.

Secondly, I would have pulled several members of the BOS together, the boosters and TAF. What's my top dollar budget for a new head coach??

Then I'm contacting agents and coaches....in no particular order--- Peterson, Gundy, Sweeney, Mullen, Shaw, Herman, Fisher....and I would have made them tell me "No".

Maybe he did that. Maybe his budget wouldn't allow him to go beyond $5 mill a year. That, we don't know.

But we can't forget that Coach O did a great job last year, with our team and the hand he was dealt.

Now, we must support Coach O and hope he can improve this season... and hope our recruiting class fills our needs.
