Fantasy Land: With whom do you replace Miles?

We don't have earthquakes in Baton Rouge.

 

I agree, we should go after Shaw. All things considered I'd probably prefer him over Fisher. Just saying, I don't see him leaving. I hope you're right about Fisher.

As for Kiffen, I have trouble saying it myself. I do feel he will have learned valuable lessons not to stick his foot in his mouth. I think he will do a good job in his next job. If we go after a Bama coach I'd prefer Smart.

 

I know the LSU faithful would disagree, but many up this way would consider that a lateral, at best moved. He will never buy another beer in SC, and with the demise of Spurrier he has it made. I'd love to get him, but don't think so.

 

Wrong. I was watching that game!

 

Ideal but don't know if we could get any of them:
Dabo, Jimbo, Shaw or Patterson.

More Likely to get but I'd worry a little: Smart, Herman or Fuente

Heard his name and really don't want:
Kiffen, Mullen, Muschamp, Edsall, or Schiano

 

Shaw is a good coach but probably knows nothing about the SEC. There would be a learning curve and a period of time that it would take him to establish relationships with the high school coaches in Louisiana and Texas as well as Florida and Georgia where we get a lot of our players. Remember the last guy we hired from Stanford? Trent Johnson as a good coach for the Trees but a terrible fit on the bayou.

Dabo is staying at Clemson until Nick Saban retires at Alabama. He is the Head Gump in Waiting.

 

Current situation, I agree it is basically a lateral move. However there is probably a bit more potential with LSU.

 

But an extremely easier path where he is.

 

Agreed, LSU has more pressure and a tougher road to the playoffs. I don't see him or Jimbo coming for that reasons(more difficult schedule and $$$). Although Bengal has reason to think Jimbo would leave FSU.

 

I like Fedora, but not sure I want him at LSU. Remember what happened the last time we hired a former Southern Miss coach. Those that ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.
