So you're saying that if you were the AD at LSU, and Miles left to go to Michigan, you wouldn't even TRY to get Jim Harbaugh to replace him because it's "not realistic"? Are you shitting me right now?

If you're in the right place at the right time with the right coach it can happen. Look at Alabama. They were left for dead in 2006. A has been program that people put in the same category as Notre Dame. If they had fired Shula a year earlier or a year later, they would almost certainly still be there right now. If Saban had signed Drew Brees instead of Dante Culpepper, they'd probably still be there right now. But the stars aligned and they hit a home run. That's how it works.

As long as you're in a certain strata, coaching hires are largely about timing and general competence from your school's leadership. LSU is unquestionably in that top strata in which the best coaches can come in and win at the highest level.

So yes, to stress it one more time, you're dumb.
