The problem with this logic is, He was not the same at USC or LSU as interim.
If you look at the wins he had as USC and LSU as interim you would realize he played with a lot more talent than the opponents he defeated.
When he faced a team with equal or more talent, he lost (Florida and Bama). Also had a hideous 3-TD loss to UCLA while at USC. So he had multiple losses in less than 10 games as interim at each school. I think there are a lot of coaches that could've accomplished that tbh

LSU did not need the best coach in the country. They only needed one that was better than Miles. That was an easy call.
This sounds good now. But you do realize we had a QB/offensive problem and we hired a DLine coach (who had a horrible offense at Ole Miss) to fix a decade-long cultural, recruiting and developmental issue?

like you were told as far back as 2016, when you went under another name, he wasn't hired to be the OC, he was hired to be the HC.

still harping on OleMiss after 10 years and a USC and LSU interim HC stints. Pitiful.

now you are on to something. In addition to organization, motivation, leadership, and general oversight of the team and staff, those things are right in Coach O's wheel house. Those are the reasons he was hired and why Joe Alleva was so solid, could even say masterful, just like with Will Wade, in his hiring search. Say what you want about Joe Alleva, but we should all be thankful for two of the best coaching hires in LSU history.

Consider at that point he is forced to use the playbook and roster from the previous staff. Miles lost 5 in a row to Bama and was still trying to beat them with the same game plan every time. He is a mental midget. To be completely honest, I had no idea if coach O could win the SEC or an NC.
But did I think he was an upgrade? Without a doubt. I would put miles around the middle of the pack when ranking the 130 Divison 1 coaches.
