LSU now has a HC who, if Miles had been fired last year

Get over it

But it is flat out irrefutable that we just "landed" a recruit no one other than us wanted. That's disconcerting

Kind of like Jacob Hester?

Which is why I said I'm not going to sit here and say he WILL fail.

But. You have to acknowledge that Hester was the exception to lowly recruits, not the rule

We are not the preeminent program some of us thought we were. The culture changed when saban was brought here. Before that, we were the hard drinking, good time program that people knew played hard, but we were never really a contender. Yes, we would pop a big boy in the mouth every so often, but we weren't a big boy.

That culture has been brought back. I think ita pathetic, but it looks like that's what most of our fan base wants.

You make a valid point but personally I'm hoping this was the plan to ensure keeping Aranda and bringing in a top OC.

Preeminent?

We just hired a guy that wouldn't have been on Candy or Kentucky's short list. I said nothing about preeminent.

As for your culture comment. Well. Even then, we hired people who were likely to be hired as HCs SOMEWHERE in the top 50.

Another difference is Hester could have ended up being a practice body or a blocking back and we'd have been OK.

Can't afford that with the HC.

LSU would be 10-1. FACT

Next question.

And if Saban hadn't left for the NFL, Miles would have never been coach here.

Let's keep playing the if game!

WTF are you babbling about? The point is, they hired a guy they wouldn't even have considered just 11 months ago.

As apparently, one of their top three choices?

That's just absurd.

I hope he's successful and will back him next year. But, you can't avoid the absurdity of firing a Les Miles to replace him with someone literally no one else planned to go after.

And I hated Miles!
