Will LSU become Tennessee post-Fulmer, or Ohio State post-Tressel?

What says the SECRant?
Did they make a mistake they'll spend years trying to dig out of, like Tennessee after Phil Fulmer? Or did they make the right call, and come out and compete for National Championships again like Ohio State after Jim Tressel?

Well there isn't an Urban Meyer out there to hire, so probably UT

Ohio St. That same guy you retards loved to call a shitty coach took LSU to 2 national title games and won one. Can't wait to see what even a competent coach can do

I think those were different situations. Nobody that knows anything about football can say that les had that team clicking. That offense was terrible considering the talent he has on that team. It was time for a change at LSU

Wonder if Mike Shula was thinking the same thing in 2006

Tennessee.
LSU doesn't have the name power to get back as soon and as good as Ohio State.

Depends on the coach they hire. I think it was a good risk and think there is atleast 20 coaches in college that could do atleast as good as Miles if not better.

Probably like FSU post Bowden. We are following their example and taking the same guy responsible

It's pointless to ask. Let the corndogs discuss it, because a significant majority of the time, the only thing that's easy to predict is whether a new coach will be generally successful. CFB coaching history is littered with home-run hires that didn't pan out and under-the-radar ones that did.
Really, just look at Urban or Saban. Nothing special distinguished them in their previous milieus. Urban did really well at Utah (and pretty well at BG) but lots of lower division school coaches have done that before flaming out in the big leagues. Urban brought UF back to Spurrier glory. Saban did okay at Michigan State, and, admittedly, he basically resurrected the program, but there was no reason to think he'd win a national title withing 4 years of arriving at a broken-down LSU program.
What I'm trying to say is, the dice are only slightly loaded. It's still a gamble.

Are they hiring Kiffin or Urban?

The only mistake they've made is waiting this long. It remains to be seen if they'll make the right choice now. I'd go Petrino.

What was UTk thinking when they hired Kiffen? I understand he left them in a bind when he left for USC, but to follow that hire up with Dooley was gross incompetence.
LSU could hire the 20th coach on their list & it would still be better than those two.
