re: What CFB head coach is acceptable to the Miles haters?

Half the posts in this thread have the main point as no one can coach as well as Miles.

you need to start quoting

There is only a handful of coaches who can recruit on the level that Miles does

Even though greatly improving Michigan State and Okie State's recruiting bases, where did Saban or Miles exhibit their co-#1 signing class prowess pre-LSU and pre-LSU/Bama?

The Stockholm faction always forget the platforms, when formulating the equation.

Saban, top three NCAA HC, Miles a top ten to fifteen NCAA HC..but before the platforms came calling..

Until given the keys to the kingdom, how do we know what potential HCs are capable of, in terms of comparing them vs Saban and Miles, both of whom were twenty-something-and-twenty-something HCs at 2nd-in-state-U, where both couldn't win a bowl game to save their lives, for the most part, despite being hailed for taking down Big U once in a while for state bragging rights. Getting some hype for coaching up and improving ole 2nd-In-State's recruiting base. Granted 'twas earned in the Big-10 and Big-12.

Check Jim Tressell's Youngstown State title resume, which compares to Brian Kelly and Chris Petersen's works, before OSU came calling for him.

Sarkisian and Harbaugh and Sumlin are too green, but like other stars, you can just see some guys futures before their pinnacle days come..their talents shine brightly!

Just so ya know I like Peterson at #2

Make no mistake Stoops at LSU would be a bad mofo. Do you remember his D in the SEC. It was bad arse.

I'd like LSU's next hire to have a true specialty. I prefer defense, but I'll take an offensive guy as well. Most of the best coaches bring something extra to one side of the ball. Miles is an offensive coach, but I don't think that qualifies him considering LSU's offensive woes.

Stoops definately brings defense to the table, like Saban. Meyer brought his offense to UF. Most of the up and comers have something special to bring.

What is different about Saban today from the Saban that left here in 2004?

---

nothing other than he was an utter failure with the Dolphins and made a complete fool out of himself when he lied about his intentions and then quit leaving his team 'under the bus.'
yeah...he's just the kind of unprincipled jackass we want running LSU's football program. bama made just as many mistakes as we did saturday last...only difference is we got called for them. his team has been very average and if LSU also had an off week...we beat his punk arse.

THIS
is why he would be the best fit and be acceptable to our fan base. Fight fire with fire

I remember a lot of Saban Haters on this site back in those days.

no one hated on Saban's coaching abilities...people hated on him flirting with the NFL...

Saban and Emmert did help change the culture. The good ole boy Louisiana acceptance of mediocrity, Joe Dean hiring "what we can get since we're only LSU" mentality. Unfortunately it's back now. You can tell the demeanor and perspective people have.
