All kinds of things wrong with this post, rather than pick it all apart a once i'll just start here:
quote:
The amount of money it was going to take was just not something LSU was going to do.
The cost was something that was known or should have been known by the powers that be prior to firing Miles. You do not fire one of your winningest all time coaches when the bottom has not fallen out if you dont have it in the budget to go out and get a big time replacement, especially when that coach is still recruiting at a high level as Miles was. It's administrative malpractice.
Sir, I can assure you there isn't anything wrong with the post.
Miles assured LSU that changes were going to be made with regard to the offense (as well as a handful of other issues). And as we all know, the changes didn't happen.
So, LSU was left in a precarious situation. The real screw ups happened in the way Miles was handled at the end of the season and ultimately not let go at that time. That mishandling created a cascade of additional problems.
And so LSU was caught a little off guard by an in season firing that was exacerbated by ED O coming in and setting RECORDS with the offense and finishing very strong.
And so when you look at that, look at recruiting, look at the finances, look at who you could truly get to come to LSU, look at what was actually needed, etc., LSU made the right choice.
Now again. He did his job. And whether you like him or not, ED O has stabilized our fall and is showing promise towards a trend up. And as I said, next year we will know, and we will be in a much stronger financial position if a change needs to happen.

first correct thing you've said
quote:

We went 4-2 in the SEC. And were shut out at home. He did a good job, but don't act like it was something it wasn't.

When you compare resumes to the other coaches in "pot 2" as you called it, and it's pretty clear O did not stack up. You could have hired Justin Fuente or PJ Fleck and not completely broken the bank.
Also the "negotiations" if you want to call them that with Herman and Jimbo were, by all reports, poorly handled to say the least.
Again, you DO NOT fire Miles if you don't have the budget to get a top tier replacement. Things had not gotten that bad and recruiting was still strong. It happened anyway because Joe Alleva desperately needs to be listened to by his football coach. Ego over the best interests of the program.
