I remember hearing that Saban told Skip that Jimbo wasn't ready. No idea if true though.

And UF in 2008.

Les was our 5th choice according to Bertman. There was no reason to hire him over Jimbo.

You think Les Miles was a bad hire?

He lost 41-7 to Auburn in 2014.

Good SEC coaches don't just grow on trees. It's gonna be a tough lesson but we're all about to learn it together.

do most of you think Miles' tenure at LSU WAS BAD?

He also told him to hire Houston Nutt. So much for Saban's insight on that one.

FTFY
Les Miles' hat is a better football coach than Alleva is an AD (and I felt it was time to move on from Miles - but not to just not do a search and hire the first guy who "wants" the job.)

This is what you wanted, Tiger Fans. Enjoy it.
To understand that it was time for LM to go doesn't necessitate that you wanted the AD to hire a person to replace him who is totally unqualified. The 2 decisions aren't mutually dependent on each other.

How do you feel about the last half/third of Saban's tenure here?

I wish we could be so lucky again ! But there is only one Miles !
Posted on 9/18/17 at 9:49 pm to Ace Midnight
If Jimbo would lose a early game too and then who do you want , tiger ranters are a bunch of diabetics fighting over a box of chocolates !

Bertman asked Saban on his way out if he should give the job to Jimbo and he told Skip that Jimbo wasn't ready. That's why Jimbo still has an ax to grind with Saban to this day.
Posted on 9/18/17 at 10:36 pm to duckstupid
Jimbo was never coming here, my god you guys are dense

Jesus Christ, LSU wasn't going to hire a fricking coordinator to take over when Saban left. Not only was Mike Archer a fresh memory back in the early 2000s, but we were losing a Natty winning coach to the NFL. Our administration back then understood optics...we were a top 10 job losing one of the best coaches in the game and we weren't going to replace Saban with someone whose resume lacked HC experience.

Point being Miles was certainly no longer the answer. If O don't work out he gotta go too.
