I honestly, don't think so. Every program is different and has to have a particular coach for it, to be successful. I don't say that as a knock to him by any means. He is the perfect coach for Lsu, better fit than Saban was, imo. Just as Saban is a perfect fit for Bama. Fanbases are completely different and that's reflected in the coaches and their nuances.

Bama fans would support him overall way better than LSU fans. We have some seriously miserable fans. Not everybody but I never hear a Bama fan criticize their coaches and its not because they are perfect either. There is small percentage of LSU fans that should be shipped off to Oxford.

Miles fits LSU pretty damn well.
That said, I think he would be successful at Alabama. Pretty sure there is a good number of coaches who would do well at either of the elite level programs though. When you get to Miles and Saban, you're talking about a couple of the best in the business, so it's just a matter of personal preference.
The personality of Miles is probably better fitted for LSU though. Laid back guy, who will joke around with the best of them, but get serious as a motherfricker real quick when need be. You see Miles around town/on campus, he'll talk and stuff, that works well with our fans.

Dinardo recruited great actually.

I think there's potential for dropoff, because recruiting to LSU is made at least a little bit easier by how much Louisiana guys like to stay home. While Alabama kids also stay in state, its obviously split between Auburn and Bama.
I think it's an unknown how well his recruiting would hold up in a different situation. For Saban it isn't.

Not sure if serious.
Louisiana always has produced good athletes, even prior to Saban. LSU missed out on a few good prospects from our state, while it was down in the 90's, but still got a good number of recruits from LA and TX. The issue was having a coach who was consistent, and/or getting a coach who couldn't get the players straightened out, on and off the field.

wtf? are you comparing the type of local talent pre-2001 to the talent 2001-2012?

No I don't think Bama would have tolerated another embarrassing coach. After all the probations, coaches banging office assistants, coaches banging strippers etc. Miles might work for LSU, but most Bama fans would like a coach that can put together a coherent sentence. Also I doubt he could hold up against a 365, 24/7 rival like Auburn. Things work a lot different in AL than LA. The Bama boosters are a lot harder to organize. When 40% of the state is trying to get you on probation constantly its a
much tougher job.
much tougher job.

well that's the obvious difference that doesn't get thrown out enough. bama has a legitimate in-state rival. LSU, who is your legitimate in-state rival to compete for marcus spears? TIA.

It's no surprise that he's been so successful at LSU since he was hired. He might not be able to be as successful at Alabama as Nick Saban, but not many can say they can. And there wouldn't be much of a dropoff.

Other SEC teams have in-state rivals, but are not in the same conference or let alone same division. I don't really care for Auburn, but I do realize they are always a threat to Bama and Bama would be a much more dominant team if it were not for Auburn.
The rivalry also makes each program better also though because neither will sit around and watch the other have success without doing anything possible to rise to that level.

Then we would have beat Bama 21-0 last year.

No one is questioning whether he has been successful or not, but to say he has not been embarrassing is a lie. He was the laughing stock if college football for a 3 to 4 yr period. With his on the field decisions and his ridiculous quotes.
LSU fans were calling for his head. They have embraced him now though since he has managed to upset Bama a couple if times.
