Firing Miles scaring other coaches off

Probably Germans but I haven't seen anything about it so here we go....
Lets say Miles has a 9-3 or possibly a 10-2 season, and still gets fired (or resigns) this year or the next. Will another coach want to come here to coach knowing that even though you win in a mediocre fashion you will be chastised to the point of no return. I don't support a lot of the decisions Miles makes. However how do you expect another coach to feel comfortable in an environment that not only do you have to win you have to be completely dominant doing it.
Disclaimer: This is not in defense of Miles in anyway nor do I mean by this post that I support his offensive decisions. This is simply a question about the apprehension another coach may face about taking over LSU.

Other coaches around the country are confident that they can do Les Miles' job as well as he does. Coaches are cocky that way.

saban wasn't scared by high expectations at bama nor was mayere at uf. the big time coaches have huge egos and think they will be a good job no matter what.

can you name another coach as inept at handling the QB situation? 3....2....1....
didn't think so. it won't scare off any coach who knows what he's doing

if miles goes 10-2 that would be awesome

Doesn't really matter because he would never be fired for going 9-3 or 10-2.

joe pa is breaking in a true freshman this year. sweater vest benched a QB that brought him to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game in favor of a true freshman the following year.

I'm pretty confident that any quality coach that we might be interested in would clearly understand why Leslie is "seeking other opportunities" - don't you think? If not, we probably don't want them anyway.

Do you honestly believe that Miles will get fired or resign for going 9-3 or 10-2? Come on you guys really need to pull up some old videos of the Hallman/Archer/Dinardo years and be thankful we are loaded with talent and go to bowls every year.

Depends on the current situation of the coach. Leach would come to lsu in a heartbeat...CPeterson probably wouldn't

Anyone who thinks Miles should be fired at 9-3 or 10-2 can pretty much have their opinion immediately discounted and muted.
Not necessarily saying you are stating that here, but nonetheless, my statement holds true.

Frank Solich went 9-3 at Nebraska and was fired. I personally don't see the LSU Admin firing Miles or any coach that wins atleast 9 games during the regular season but I could be wrong but I think the chances are far against it in my personal opinion.

Coaches do inherently have egos of epic proportions so that in itself will allow us to get a top knotch replacement. Also, please find me a national analyst, pundit, etc. that will go on record saying that Miles is a force to be reckoned with in the coaching world. You won't. That's because on the national scene and among his peers(which is where most of the media gets the info to form their opinions of coaches) consider him a complete idiot and know that he has underperformed with cards he's been dealt. Lastly, this is a moot point if he goes 9-3 or better. Sorry, if he wins 9 or 10 he's staying for atleast another 2 years.

This. Think about it. A good coach at a lower echelon BCS school has a topnotch record over
2-3 years and is being paid say, $1,300,000/year. Along comes LSU and offers him $3,300,000/year. That's $2M/year increase.
Lets say he stays at LSU for 5 years. That's $16.5M in 5 years. Had he stayed at the other school, he'd have been paid $6.5M during the same time. So, taking the LSU job is worth $10M to him. Would you do it? You're lying if you said NO. One could raise a lot of little Scientologists for $10M.

Does anything in lsu's history lead you to believe this is a possibility?

Does it really matter? We won't get the coach we want. We won't lure a big time, established coach to just switch jobs. I'm basing this on past precedent. When was the last time LSU made a splash with a football hire? I've seen LSU hire four coaches since I've been an LSU fan, none of them were exciting. The administration would have to take a flyer on some up and comer, and then, who knows what you're going to get? Remember what happened to Nebraska after they went out, and fired a coach after nine wins.
I'm not a Miles fan.
