LSU made a HUGE mistake firing Miles

The reason is simple: You don't fire the coach who gifted your program with a national championship and assume you'll be lucky enough to hire a coach who can do better.

Also, you have to assume any head coach other than Saban will have an occasional disappointing year. For example, if Mizzou had fired Pinkel after the 2012 season, Mizzou wouldn't have won the East Division in 2013 and 2014. Patience is a virtue.

LSU fans assume LSU will make a huge hire, and they may very well hire a star coach.

However, while Tom Herman may be doing well at Houston, he may not do well at LSU against SEC competition. Sure, his Houston team beat Oklahoma. So what? In the SEC West almost every team is the caliber of Oklahoma. Herman's Houston team doesn't play a schedule remotely close to as brutal as the SEC West schedule so it's easy to point to the Houston victory over Oklahoma as proof of future success when in fact that victory is anything but proof that Herman is a world beater.

That's assuming LSU will hire Tom Herman.

LSU isn't Tom Herman's dream job. His dream job is rumored to be Texas and he may get his shot to be the HC at Texas sooner than later.

So, if LSU is unable to lure Herman to Baton Rouge, what other coaches would LSU hire who would be better than Miles?

What other potential candidates have won a national championship?

Firing Miles was a big mistake.

He won a national title the same year he lost to UK. He's a genius.

I'm not joking when I say he should stick to his Cardinals. He's useless as a poster in every other facet.

Call me crazy, but I think LSU can do better than this 4-5 stretch that we're currently on. Thanks for preaching, though.

Miles deserved better but so did LSU. Miles was great emphasis on was. We fired RC for a lot of the same reasons. Fran sucked, but moving away from RC was still the right choice.

Sounds like a bunch of hypotheticals.

You're title should be "LSU may have made a HUGE mistake firing Miles."

Because, well you don't know jacksheeet

Killz, I've got some bad news. The REC got together and decided we're going to have to let you go. Thanks for the energy and passion you brought to the internet fanbase. Good luck in your future endeavors.

If we can give you a recommendation or help you choose another team to put as your logo, just let us know. We'll help in any way we can.

Maybe he did but the end of the story was known so why not just close the chapter now. He is walking out the door with some 10+ million. He will be fine and thanks someone that gets it and just doesn't go full retard flaming

LOL

You think LSU can lure Jimbo away from Florida State, a school which has a more celebrated football history than LSU? Plus, coaching at Florida State in the ACC allows for an easier path to the playoffs.

Why would Jimbo leave a perfect situation to go to a very volatile situation?
