No its a Miles players problem not an area problem. Miles is a lazy hardheaded shite. He lets the players get soft. Texas has that issue right now with their team and it all started with Mack being allowed to stay around too long. IMO the threat of keeping someone around too long is about the same as hiring a flop. Sometimes the attitude makes the rebuild harder

It was the worst hire in modern history. What happened is the AD got turned down a few times and panicked. Instead he should have promoted a temporary coach for a season, and that mistake cost that program five-plus years.


Exactly.....Kippy Brown was on the staff and should have been named the temp coach and he would have done a good job IMO....The UT bean counter AD royally screwed up.

Firing Fulmer wasn't the problem...he had gotten lazy, recruiting had fallen way off and he wouldn't hire good coaches on his staff because he was too loyal to his good ole buddies.

I think it is much more likely LSU goes through a Michigan-style slump- a splash coaching hire that flops, followed by a guy connected to the program who flops, followed by a guy who does even better than Les.


Which Michigan guy has done even better than Les?

What is the difference between the two? Both hired a flop following their national title winning coach.


Personally I think Fla. should have kept Zook for the long haul. Great guy, and had the program headed in the right direction.

Is that really a thing though?

I mean, FSU bounced back pretty quickly after Jimbo took over. Bill O'Brien did pretty well after Joe Pa left. Do we really have an example of a program "keeping" a coach too long and paying the price for it?

I mean other than Texas obviously. To me the "Mack Brown stayed too long" narrative is just an excuse to cover for the fact they made the wrong hire with Charlie. If they would have hired Saban we wouldn't hear a thing about Mack staying too long today.

I expect their current coach to do so.

LSU and UGA should trade coaches.

You should ask Arky how that temporary coach for a year thing worked out for them.

It is definitely a possibility, as with all coaching changes.

At the same time there are differences between Tennessee and LSU.

Still loaded with talent at LSU, tons of in state recruits.

Biggest difference would be that the coach would be taking over a 7 win team (we would have to lose out for Les to get canned) rather than a 4 win team.

Less of a repair job IMO.

Seems like it worked out great for them. With a year of a head start they were able to poach a coach from a top 25 Power 5 program and get the biggest splash hire that entire cycle. In fact to me Arky is the proof of how badly the Tennessee AD fricked up.

They had one wasted year in the middle, but that is better than the five years Tennessee will waste climbing out of the hole the Dooley hire dug.

Bobby Petrino laid down the Harley in April though......What kind of coaches are available for hiring in April?

Just for the sake of a shite storm I want us to fire Miles and hire Will Muschamp or Houston Nutt. I would love to see the negatigers reaction.
