re: If Miles is fired at 8-3, what idiot coach would come here?

We have a top 3 recruiting class but are 106th of 120 schools in offence. Problem

The type of idoit that is in control of the game for his team.

You haven't answered my question about why LSU isn't a top destination.

The entire state is too political. Everyone knows someone who wants favors. Tickets, sons on the team, private face time, back scratching, free stuff, access to the program, etc. No one seems to know how to set up barriers around the program. How do you think we got Bertman?

Its gotten better lately, but the word is out that to come to LSU means to open yourself up to God only knows what. Unknown coaches will risk it, but proven coaches only use it as a pay raise issue.

No more p & s than any other major Division 1 program.

I don't want TT, but was replying to remarks made about him.

Peterson from Boise St. and Patterson from TCU...simply because they're sick of winning 12 games/going undefeated and not getting a shot at the BCSNCG

Bertman was the last AD of that ilk. He was a compromise candidate and with the reawakening of LSU football glory people saw what happened and it ended with the hiring of Alleva who is not part of that network.

I see no proof of this

As far as ceph's comment about the fanbase

We are no mroe psychotic or stupid than many other fanbases(See Bama, Florida, Texas, Notre Dame) and they get good coaches. Our AD is about as rich as they come, we have facilities as good as anyone in the country, we have a great recruiting base....

There are shite ton of reasons why LSU is great coaching destination and there is a perception amongst a lot of fans that we are different than UF, UT, USC, UGA, Bama, tOSU, PSU, or Michigan when we aren't. We are a big time national program with lots of exposure and there is no reason to accept the mediocrity.

And the Tiger 1/Panzer was a great tank. The rhetoric and job descriptions of the LSU job by yourself are so dated in nomenclature. And do little to describe the LSU HC position of 2010 forward.

Wow, LSU also used to pay lousy, have a pitiful weight room, and training facilities, etc..

Are there any other tired cliches non-pertinent to today's LSU Program, that you would care to use?

Yes, but one every body wants already has a school like that. Bama.

The Tiger I was a very good tank, but, not a great tank. The design reflected pre-WW2 notions of tank design.

The advent of WW2, particularly the Russian Campaign, demonstrated that sloped armor was the way of the future. Indeed the very best tank designs of WW2 featured sloped armor.

The Tiger I, of course, had no sloped armor. Thick armor, yes. Big gun, yes. It could take punishment, and ruled the battlefields of 1943. However, by summer 1944, the Tiger I was becoming obsolete, made so by more modern designs such as Panther. The Sherman Firefly was fielded with a gun powerful enough to destroy the Tiger I's frontal armor.

The other problems with Tiger I were that it was difficult to mass produce because it was so expensive and complex.

So, Tiger I was a very good tank, but, not a great tank. Panther was better.

Perhaps the very best armored fighting vehicle of WW2 was the Jagdpanther, which had the Tiger II main gun placed upon the Panther chassis.
