was also beneficial for O that Miles got another chance in 2016. You know damn well O had DP set wheels in motion once they lost to Wisconsin if not before.

I would say more than beneficial, it had to happen that way for O to even have a shot. Had Miles not been retained following that 2015, not only would O never have gotten the LSU job, he would never have gotten another Power 5 HC job. He had just applied to Syracuse and didn't even come close to getting that one.

And some (including me) argued what he did as an interim coach did not warrant serious consideration for the job, but many did think so and our AD was lazy and lacking in the qualities that would help sway and attract a better candidate.
