While I love his record, I'm not sure his style would translate here. At LSU, he was able to get the best at most positions and could run a power attack and be successful. Here, I'm not so sure that would work. I like our current system. I don't know how flexible he is in implementing different tactics but it didn't seem like he was. He would, however, create a major buzz not only here but in the CFB world which would put a lot more attention on our program which could really help. $1 million for him compared to Hud and i would take Miles any day of the week.

I agree with you. Our next hire needs to create a big splash

Size matters.

Im with you on 1-3.

#4. Orlando might be fired by Thanksgiving
#5. KC Keller would have been great hire 7 years ago. He's would be a safe hire, but he's 59 years old.

My 4 & 5 would be....

4. Manny Diaz - DC at Miami
- Has relationships in LA,Miss.,TX and South Florida. He can also bring in a staff with P5 experience due to his previous jobs. SEC,ACC,& Big 12

5. Broderick Fobbs - HC at Grambling
- UL grad assistant, strong Louisiana ties (UL,NSULA,McNeese),75% winning percentage, winning with little resources.

Diaz would be interesting.

Cause I've really like Chad Morris for a long time.

[Frenchie35]

I'd not. Seems 129 other FBS aren't anxious to hire the grass eater. Anyway he's not going back to coaching in the six figure neighborhood.

Did you mean seven figures, are that he wouldn't except six figures?

During his time at lsu he averaged I believe 10 or 11 wins a year. Won a National championship and played for another. Pay him 1 mill a year and get him here.

True...but recruiting to LaSUe and to Louisiana are apples and oranges. It was a much easier sell to recruit the best to go to LaSue. And if he could actually coach, he could have competed and possibly won several national championships with the talent that went to LaSue. Now if he could recruit the same 4 star & 5 star athletes here, again, coaching would not matter as much because the athletes would be by far more dominant than any other teams in the Sunbelt. By talent alone, they would win more than they would lose.

I highly doubt Les Miles could recruit the same type of players here that went to LaSue. Hence, he would be just another Baldwin.

It’s going to be a cold, blue world for some of you if we don’t get another coach. I have trouble seeing UL coughing up the money. Look at the dissatisfaction expressed toward the basketball program and how long he’s been there.

I would say it's already a cold, blue world as far as the football program is concerned. Keep in mind, Farmer was released because he wasn't getting things done to T-Joe's satisfaction (or fans). Dr. Maggard was hired to bring UL in a new direction, time will tell.
