Pendegrast or Shoop, anyone else mentioned thus far would be the beginning of the end for Miles. Can't' say that I wouldn't like to see that happen anyway. But LSU deserves better, would hate to see the program go down that way.
Promoting from within is bad idea. This program needs an infusion of new thoughts. No offense to Brick but not exactly teams beating down his door for a promotion to DC. Brick will be the next DC and then Miles will try to control that as well. This is feeling very much like the end of the DiNardo era.
When there was disease in the villages they burned it to the ground. If we want Elmer Fudd out we need total implosion and 65k in the stadium. That will rid us of this stammering dumb ass who took the Ferrari Nick gave him and turned it into a Pacer.
That will do no one anything, LSU will still be on the hook for an 18 million buyout and then be in position to lowball and get a replacement on the cheap. Obviously we have decided that money was more important, allowing the best coach on the staff to leave to a division rival for a million dollars. It takes money to make money.
