This could be like that thing where a ton of reports came out that Todd Grantham had been fired from UGA, and everyone essentially said "Good Riddance." It was used as a litmus test to show that the fan base was totally fine if he got shown the door, money be damned.

If LSU needs a new OC Brian Schottenheimer is probably going to be looking for a new gig after the Colts fire him

What coaches are available right now for LSU? Obviously Tom Herman but he might not leave Houston.

^^^ They'll ride Coach O to the end of the season before sending a dump truck full of money west down I-10; I really doubt they'll make a hire before then Miles' son, Ben, is committed to Nebraska; let's find a cushy QC gig for him or something

Who wins in a bidding war between Houston and LSU? Doesn't Houston have a few really loaded boosters?

I know coaches typically want to coach at high profile schools because they crave going up the ladder, but I'd never want to go to a SEC West team. Every year Alabama will probably curb stomp you and a single additional loss will make the fanbase call for your head. So hopefully Herman stays at Houston where he's probably safe for at least a few/several seasons.

LSU has great homefield advantage and amazing in-state recruiting. They own Lousiana. Houston will always have to fight Baylor, Texas Tech, and TCU for the table scraps cast aside by UT and Texas A&M (and Oklahoma) in Texas recruiting. Saban has a monster in Tuscaloosa, but he's 64 and won't be at this level forever.

I'm kinda of the opinion that if your coach won you a national title within the last ten or so years he should get a free pass for another twenty but hey, if everybody at LSU wanted him gone then c'est la vie

Saban has a monster in Tuscaloosa, but he's 64 and won't be at this level forever. Saban probably has at least 10 years left in him I bet, the guy can't retire because he'd get bored, and as long as he continues his current success, he can ride his recent national championship wins for top recruiting classes for at least another 5 years regardless of if he wins a NC or not in that time. So sure, Herman could go to LSU, but he'd be in Saban's shadow that whole time, and without a NC win I doubt LSU's fans or boosters let him go 5-10 years until Saban would retire.

In the end it was Les Miles' terrible time management that killed him. Let us all take a time out when by not telling our team what play to call until 5 seconds on the play clock amen

I adore Les and it's painful to see him leave LSU. He's a thoroughly decent, thoroughly weird dude who genuinely cares about his players and won a ton of games. With that said, there are some very real upsides:
As far as replacements are concerned, it's hard to not like the idea of Herman. But I hope LSU keeps the door open to Orgeron if the team plays to its talent level under him. (And as much as I personally despise Bobby Petrino, it would be hard to argue he wouldn't check a lot of boxes. ) Sent from my iPad fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Sep 25, 2016 |

Bama is not guaranteed to beat LSU if LSU hires a spread offensive guru coach, Bama can barely handle Ole Miss and LSU gets better players than Ole Miss does.

I get it but man that is a high standard for the next guy to live up to. If you're in the SEC and aren't Saban you basically have to look over your shoulder at all times. It's not like LSU is bulletproof either. Their coaches pre-Saban were Gary Dinardo and Curley Hallman. It's a great job but they can definitely do a lot worse MourningView fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Sep 25, 2016 |

That's a pretty brutal way to go for one of the best coaches in program history, but as my boy Jeremy Foley says "what must be done eventually should be done immediately."
