8 Big Name Coaches LSU Has No Chance To Hire

Dabo Swinney - Clemson head coach All that stuff said about Fisher -- the same goes for Swinney. What would be his incentive to leave? A few extra million? That won’t buy him the opportunity to coach his son’s Little League team, like he does at Clemson. The upside potential of LSU is inarguably higher than Clemson’s, but Dabo has a perfect situation in South Carolina, and it’s almost entirely of his making. Now, if this was the Alabama job, you could make the case Dabo might leave, but LSU is not the job that is going to pull him out of Clemson.

Irony?

They mention that Jimbo wouldn't leave because it is easier to win a championship in the ACC, and then proceed to mention 2 other coaches currently in the top 10 that LSU would actually want that are not only in the ACC, but in the same division.

Plus don't want the job at LSWho. ESUCpn, all they do is preach how the SEC beats each other up from top to bottom before the playoffs, then they lose to weaker teams bc of being beat up so bad by their in conference schedule. What coach in their right mind would leave a coaching job where their team is 1 of the top of maybe 3 strong men in the conference.

Inarguably higher?
How do you come to that conclusion right now as a reasonable fair thinking fan of college football. Our ceiling is as high as anyone not named Alabama

I don't think it's "inarguably higher" but LSU is sitting on

a recruiting gold mine and Miles has just been squandering it for about 5 years now. Whenever Saban retires LSU, with the right coach, could dominate the SEC again.

inarguably higher than Clemson? More local talent to draw from but that's the only advantage I would give them right now. Clemson makes up for that by recruiting nationally now!

no, actually I think there's a state law in Louisiana

that you can't hire failed coaches from Florida to work at LSU.
kept 'em from hiring Ron Zook and Charley Pell too....
apparently there was no such law forbidding the hire
of failed coaches from Okie State though,
hence the whole Les's Alice in Wonderland roller-coaster ride.

Miles was pretty good at OK State and did fine early in his

tenure at LSU. Things started going south on him after the 2011 title game. I think the CFB landscape has evolved and Miles has just failed to adapt to it. You can't just totally ignore the QB position and win with defense and running the ball these days.
Saban pretty much stole his thunder too. Saban was doing the same thing except doing it better, and you just can't beat Saban playing the same game. Teams like LSU, Michigan State, Wisconsin, etc have no chance against Bama. And where Miles hasn't been able to evolve to the changing game, Saban of course has.

I am sure Dabo has been to Baton Rouge. Only an insane person would choose living there over Clemson. It would take orders of magnitude more money to get him there. Bama is the only place from which he would entertain offers.
