and sat on his couch for a year until Les called him.

He wanted to be a HC and didn't want to just accept a DL coach position somewhere else. So he waited a years to see if that opportunity came. Once it didn't, he accepted the LSU DL coach job that was open. He had enough money to sit out of coaching for a year in hopes of landing a HC rather than taking a "demotion". So I don't blame him for doing so.

If/when LSU fires him he'll probably first try hard to land a P5 HC job. Yes, he may have flamed out here and failed to meet LSU's expectations (which are as high as any in the country)...but he DOES have a resume with success at LSU that another, lower tier P5 school may find attractive.

For LSU it is national championship or bust. But for a school like, Miami, those expectations aren't there now. The school sits in arguably the most concentrated area of college football talent in the country. A great recruiter may be what the program needs...in a much less difficult conference than the SEC. Just because he wasn't good enough at LSU doesn't mean he may be good enough at a different school, with much lower expectations (though, admittedly, the list of such schools that may actually consider hiring him is probably pretty small).

Hell, Miami might actually be a good spot for him. When you look at the recruiting rankings you're seeing a ton of local talent going to schools not named Miami. What turned Miami from a perennial loser to a national powerhouse was Schnellenberger's efforts to get every great player in the Miami metro area to attend the school. For the last 10 years or so they haven't had a great recruiter as HC...and it has showed.
