Perhaps like Miami in the 80's and 90's. Schenellenber laid the groundwork with a NC, then Johnson, Erickson and Butch Davis (it was his team who Coker won with) ALL won NCs.
Agreed!
Miami screwed up with Coker (players coach/internal hire), just like Ed.
This next hire will determine LSUs success for the next 10-15 years.
You don’t need Big Name or Risky, you need solid to tweak/correct the deficiencies of Ed.
Billy N - I like, but to big of risk with what’s on the line with recovering from Ed and UT/OU coming in.
Lane K - love it, think he’s turned the corner and that offense / QBs…oof! But still high risk (I think he’s lead candidate)
Mark Stoops - Solid, would field an elite D and might be just the guy you need to get the ship pointed in right direction.
Luke F - solid, big name, checks all boxes
James F - solid, big name, checks all boxes
PJ fleck - I like the guy, solid, might not be good fit though.
Bill Ob - I don’t get why he’s being mentioned. “His two years at PSU”…ok, 8-4/7-5. Think he’s only getting consideration Bc he’s on Sabans staff. Pass.

I don't think you can say each were complete mistakes. They both won national championships. Long term they couldn't sustain that success. But the short term results were great considering the 2019 LSU team is mentioned along with the 2001 Miami team as one of the best ever. Truth be told, Coker was really good right up until LSU demolished them in the Peach Bowl. After that, the wheels fully fell off. To their credit, Miami moved quickly to replace him...it's just that they replaced him with his DC in a "one of us" hire. They haven't fully recovered since.
Recent history says LSU doesn't have to get the consensus "home run hire" (neither Saban, nor Miles, nor Orgeron were universally accepted when they were first hired. They just can't repeat their mistake and hire two guys back to back who were long time assistants that were passed over for many years...for a reason.
