Who Replaces Miles?

[GeauxTo]

If Michigan "buys" Miles, who will the Tigers get as a new head coach?

Considerations within the SEC:

Steve Spurrier
A great coach and someone who could fly high on the Bayou; but, is he obtainable?

Bobby Johnson
Someone to think about. An excellent coach in all respects. Very obtainable, I think.

Rich Brooks
Another one to think about. I would prefer Johnson, but Brooks is good and also obtainable.

Probably no other SEC coaches would be considered, or are unattainable.

Outside the SEC:

Steve Kragthorpe from Louisville.
I don't know. The jury is still out on him.

Rich Rodriguez from West Virginia.
A probable consideration, but is he obtainable? He sort of shafted the Bammers in their search.

Dennis Erickson from Arizona State.
Well, he just got to the Sun Devils, but he's good and probably obtainable.

Barry Alvarez from Wisconsin.
He's good, but probably wouldn't leave the Big Ten. But, you never know.

Chris Petersen from Boise State.
How good is he? Probably obtainable, but would he fit on the green grass of the Bayou?

Terry Bowden.
They say he wants to return to coaching. He was pretty good at The Barn before getting cross-ways with Bobby Lowder. Would he be a consideration?

I am quite happy to announce Spurrier, in a video played before the game Saturday, called out Lee Corso in front of a packed house at WB for saying he could not win and recruit here, and also once again pledged his allegiance to South Carolina, and has said numerous times in the last two weeks he plans to be here at least 5 or 6 more years.

[usafbamafan]

No idea who you guys would replace him with, but can you imagine the fallout if Spurrier went to LSU. WOW, that would be huge. Power shifts WEST:ohmy:

[The Ramp]

Alvarez retired 2 years ago

[GAMECOCK_FAN]

Nick Saban? :laugh:

[The Ramp]

Nick Saban? :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh:


that would be hilarous

[crawfish]

Nick Saban? :laugh:

By the end of this season he may be ready for a change...again! :laugh: :wacko:

I'm just kidding.:unsure:

[TigersFanTaylor]

Phillip Fulmer could be avaliable at the end of the season...

[The Ramp]

if les left, i'd like tedford. i'm sure we could outbid the commies

[timNem]

If the LSU AD said he was going to go after Saban, would yall be happy or mad?

[The Ramp]

If the LSU AD said he was going to go after Saban, would yall be happy or mad?

i wouldn't want him......how would any recruit trust him?

[GeauxTo]

If the LSU AD said he was going to go after Saban, would yall be happy or mad?

We don't have that kind of money.

[crawfish]

My number one choice for Miles' replacement would be Bo Penlini hands down.


Steve Spurrier A great coach and someone who could fly high on the Bayou; but, is he obtainable?

I could live with that one. I believe he would love to come into the fertile recruiting grounds of Lousiana, but I do believe he's committed to USC.


Bobby Johnson Someone to think about. An excellent coach in all respects. Very obtainable, I think.

Maybe, but I would worry about Johnson's recruiting ability.

Rich Brooks Another one to think about. I would prefer Johnson, but Brooks is good and also obtainable.

I'm not a Brooks fan. LSU could do better.

Steve Kragthorpe from Louisville.
I don't know. The jury is still out on him.

He's certainly building a nice resume. Maybe another big year and he's ready.

Rich Rodriguez from West Virginia.
A probable consideration, but is he obtainable? He sort of shafted the Bammers in their search.

I like Rodriguez and think he would do great at LSU.

Dennis Erickson from Arizona State.
Well, he just got to the Sun Devils, but he's good and probable obtainable.

Erickson would jump at the prospects of coaching in the SEC and being able to recruit in LA.

Barry Alvarez from Wisconsin.
He's good, but probably wouldn't leave the Big Ten. But, you never know.

He is a good coach, but I think you're right. I don't think he would ever leave the Big Ten.

Chris Petersen from Boise State.
How good is he? Probably obtainable, but would he fit on the green grass of the Bayou?

Would certainly add a little spice to the LSU program. I think we would have to get it in writting though about the "green grass". That's hilarious Geaux!

Terry Bowden.
They say he wants to return to coaching. He was pretty good at The Barn before getting cross-ways with Bobby Lowder. Would he be a consideration?

I would go with Tommy before Terry. I just don't know about a "Bowden" at LSU. Terry was successfull the first two years at the Barn but after that went down hill. Sounds too much like a Mike Archer hire.

[Seppeh]

He is a good coach, but I think you're right. I don't think he would ever leave the Big Ten.

Well hate to tell you, but he did leave the Big Ten, after the 2005 season. :brick:

You and Geaux have honestly never heard of Bret Bielema? He had such a great first year, I thought everyone knew Barry retired.

[timNem]

Surely, LSU wouldn't touch a Terry Bowden? Do you guys think that Miles would take the Michigan job?

[The Ramp]

Bret Bielema is the HC at Wisky

[The Ramp]

Well hate to tell you, but he did leave the Big Ten, after the 2005 season. :brick:

i knew it!!!

:wave:

[Seppeh]

:wave:

What are you saying? :unsure: :ph34r:

[The Ramp]

i wouldn't want to go anywhere near a bowden

i dunno if les would leave...i certainly would want to coach at my alma mater

[The Ramp]

What are you saying? :unsure: :ph34r:

i knew Bret Bielema was the HC at Wisky

*pats self on back*

[Seppeh]

We must be the only ones that pay attention to happenings outside of the SEC.

[The Ramp]

We must be the only ones that pay attention to happenings outside of the SEC.

LOL...you have to when you bet as much as I do:thumpsup:

actually, i can't put a finger on the big ten but i made good money off the big 12 and the acc last year.

[crawfish]

I don't think Miles leaves powerhouse LSU either. He's too loaded to leave in the next couple of years. Michigan would have to make him the richest coach in college football for him to leave what he has right now. That's seems to work at other places!

[GeauxTo]

Man, that one completely slipped by me. But, then again, I'm not one to keep up with the Big 10.

[dcbama]

if les left, i'd like tedford. i'm sure we could outbid the commies

Agree 100%. Tedford is a great coach and it would be fun to watch what he could do when teamed with a top-notch def. coordinator. Ironically, someone on Colin Cowherd this morning was speculating that he would be the #1 coach on Michigan's list if they fire Carr.

[The Ramp]

Man, that one completely slipped by me. But, then again, I'm not one to keep up with the Big 10.

actually he didn't leave the big ten at all...he's Wisky's AD

[crawfish]

Man, that one completely slipped by me. But, then again, I'm not one to keep up with the Big 10.

What? Big 10? Man, I've got to get out more!:laugh:

[GeauxTo]

My number one choice for Miles' replacement would be Bo Penlini hands down.

I forgot about Bo Pelini. He might be right for the job. I don't know what kind of a recruiter he is, but we'd keep having dominating defenses.

If Miles does leave, I'd go after Spurrier with everything we've got. He could win CCs and even NCs here right away, whereas he is looking at an almost impossible task of winning even a conference championship in Columbia in the forseeable future.

[The Ramp]

nah....Pelini is a great DC, but I don't know about HC

[GeauxTo]

What? Big 10? Man, I've got to get out more!:laugh:

Well, if it's not in the SEC or playing against an SEC team, I pretty much miss it.
:biggrin:

[timNem]

nah....Pelini is a great DC, but I don't know about HCthats always a risk. Mike Dubose was a great Defensive mind but we seen what happened when he became HC

[Sabanocchio]

Why isn't Gary Patterson being mentioned?

[The Ramp]

Why isn't Gary Patterson being mentioned?

that's a good choice

[timNem]

that's a good choiceyep, he has done an excellent job @ TCU.

[KillerNut]

Like I said in the "Did you know" thread, Michigan will pay whatever it takes to get a good coach like Miles to be their coach. They are tired of losing to us and their bowl games. Lloyd WAS a good coach but now is starting to be very bad. Bo supported Lloyd because he was his assistant coach and Les Miles being a Michigan alum and former player, has high respect from the school and board. Trust me, Carr will not be fired, he will "resign" in his own terms because the Michigan athletic department has too much respect for him. Carr will support Miles as his replacement. Michigan has one of the top 5 athletic budgets in the country so they can afford what ever it takes to get Miles back to Ann Arbor. LSU will have to win the NC this year and LSU will have to give him an extention and raise for him to stay. That is the only way to keep him IMHO.

I just hope all you LSU fans don't become Michigan supporters if Miles leaves! :laugh:

[LSUisLIFE611]

Bo Pelini will be a head coach soon enough, and if he runs the whole team like his defence, it would be amazing. outside of the sec i would say rich rod would be good.

[DanielW4444]

I say the coach from Wake Forest

[Cianne]

They can hire Tim Brando. He's a LSU homer and thinks he's god's gift to pigskin.

[C_hris]

I think its time for Spurrier to go ahead and die from college football so another coach who is washed up can move on into South Carolina.

[AUChamps]

This should be fun....

[sheluvsbama]

This should be fun.... You took the words right out of my mouth! :laugh:

[AUChamps]

So, you're saying South Carolina is where good coaches go to die?

[sheluvsbama]

So, you're saying South Carolina is where good coaches go to die? No, what I actually meant by "this should be fun", was how wild things get when there is speculation about a coaching change. I love watching the madness! :laugh:

[DanielW4444]

Nobody interested in Jim Grobe?
