Hypothetical: 1-9-12 never happens

Bama gets left out of the BCS title game and we beat whoever for the championship. Everything else being equal, is CLM still our coach today?
24

Yes. We probably win the title in 2012 too

Les Miles leaving LSU was best for everyone. Alabama is not just better than we are,they are better than everyone else most of the time.

I think he would be gone under the same parameters that caused his demise at LSU as Head Coach. However he would have left with less animosity from fans, including this one

Out of 2011 and 2012, LSU should have at least one title. Thats all i know. Everything else is up for conjecture.

I don’t think much changes. The 2012 class was not a good class and that game had little effect on that. Miles was being out recruited and if his offense didn’t change after that disaster it sure wasn’t going to change if it didn’t happen.

We would have 2 more NC

Erasing 1/9/12 doesn't change who Les is. Les caused 1/9/12, and if it didn't happen on 1/9/12 it would have happened later.
If 1/9/12 didn't happen, Les would still be our coach today, but he would be on the hot seat and we'd be clamoring for him to go.

Winning it all in 2011 possibly prevents Bama from becoming the empire they are now. It cannot be stated enough how big that game was to finish the hardest schedule in the history of college football.

LSU plays Oklahoma State in the National Championship and caps off one of the greatest seasons in college football history.
Yes. Even if LSU lost to Okie State, CLM is probably the head coach.
The NC loss stunted the LSU program. I feel that a brand new coaching staff is going to need to come in to truly change the culture of LSU being the scrappy little brother.

This, along with Roy Jones Jr in Seoul and the basketball at the Munich Olympics are the worst travesties in the history of sport.
LSU "reward" for beating Alabama on it's home turf in the "Game of the Century" was having to play an extra game vs UGA and then having to finish 2-0 vs Bama while the Gumps only had to be 1-1.
The third place team in it's conference had no business in a two-team playoff for the national championship over a conference champ with the same record and better overall resume.

Can't be said enough. Won't change things, but still true.

2012 had more injuries and more shuffle on the oline than this season.
They were one tackle away from winning the west. That season may have actually been one of the best hold the team together jobs Les ever did. I'd love to watch Saban win the west with 22 scholarship players missing.

I think Les' quirkiness also turned fans against him as soon as he was not on top of the world...he just reached the end of his shelf life at LSU and the fans got bored with him. I think he would now be gone regardless of the outcome of that game.

Go through the history of LSU and name one coach that finished 13-0. Also that schedule ranks as LSUs toughest in the history of the program.
If it weren't for Les, LSU is never in that game.

LSU, like all fanbases, has many ignorant fans who can't or won't try to understand complexities.
Many still believe that Les caused the 1-9-12 loss by not playing Lee. It's fricking hysterical. It's fricking pathetic.
Hell, many still think that LSU didn't cross the 50 yard line.

Even if 1/9 happens, if Mathieu doesn't get booted before the season, we still might win 2012. Between the two, it killed the spirit

If I could get doc browns delorian time machine and go back to 2012 with a 2017 sports almanac things would be different.
