re: Legit Replacement Candidates for Les Miles

I think the fact that LK would keep our D staff is a big plus. I don't like tying up a coach and saying you have to keep the current D staff but a smart person would likely try to keep them.

Aranda is one of the best in the game, O is the best Dline coach and a monster on the recruiting trail. Raymond could go and we just replace him.

Its really amazing how one side of the ball has elite coaching and the other has useless sacks of shite in Cam, Ensminger, and Grimes

id like those people to tell me they wouldn't take Nick Saban back as our coach. Almost every coach is a scumbag off the field. I don't really care if a coach wants to get some action on the sideline. I don't care if they ruffle feathers like LK does.

I think a far bigger concern than who a coach is dicking on the side would be something like Briles where you have an out of control football team or Franklin.

Petrino made a huge mistake putting his piece on the payroll and that opened up arky to a real potential for legal issues. However, I think Petrino is smarter than miles and learns from mistakes. So if he still wants a side piece he wont be putting her on the state payroll.

I 100 percent agree with you which is why I want Petrino here. Seeing what he could do with elite talent would be scary.

I dont see how Fisher could possibly come here after Alexander stabbed him in the back

I feel like Mullen would be on the B/C level hires.

He has done a really good job at Miss State. He was never known as a recruiter even while at UF. He doesn't have to be a big recruiter here if he hires an OC and DC that he trust. He could let our staff do its job recruiting to his system and he handles the X and O on offense.

I think this year is going to be bad for state as we have already seen, so that is going to hurt his luster. He should have probably jumped after 2014 or after last year.

I think the hire would have looked much better if we pushed miles out last year and brought in Mullen.

I mean the man did have state ranked number 1 for a point in time, that in itself is pretty amazing.

ya know, i haven't been for kiffin.

IF he kept the defensive staff (we all know he would keep bebe) then that would be a good hire. maybe not our first choice, but i'd still take fedora before kiffin.

i've been saying i wouldn't take jimbo, but that's because i'm tired of hearing about it. he's not coming here. we have a better chance of getting herman.

Tom Herman isn't coming.

Scott Frost should be on the list.

Also of note Mullen basically fits the mold that we have went after with the last two hires.

guy at the 2nd tier team in state, wins at a decent clip there.

I think he misses a bowl game this year which will hurt him a little bit as far as his shine.

I Herman says no then I go to Aranda or kiffin. But sure we will see with jimbo just hope he says no again. One thing we can all be sure of whoever it is will be an improvement on Les. The only things Les has ever been decent at is recruiting and keeping us out of major ncaa violations.

A guy I wouldn't mind seeing is Bill O'brien

You are out of your mind. He would be Les Miles 2.0. LSU needs someone who can develop talent and coach the offensive side of the ball.
