Has any other coach everbeen on any kind of hot seat after an 11-2, Top 10 season?

It's kind of a lose lose for him. He stays at LSU and he can win all he wants and people still won't like him. He goes to Michigan and he has to win huge or else. He has no room for error at either place. Then again, he is either the coach at LSU or Michigan next year, so you could call it a win win. Just however you look at it.

Being "the next guy" is tough. Rich Rod was "the next guy". It a guy in Rich Rod's position that has the most trials and bigger failures. Michigan is in a really bad state now and everybody knows it. All the Michigan men will now concede that they have a big rebuilding job on their hands.

...and that's why a Les Miles would be given a fair shot there.

There's a reason Florida had to settle for Zook when Spurrier left. No one wanted to have to follow that kind of success.If you can you want to follow the guy who gets run out of town.

He will do as well in that job as anyone. However

Michigan isn't LSU. Weather better in red stick than up there. Life is probably better in Red STick. Food better. Housing better. However Michigan is home and they like him there until he gets there.

A couple of things. Where will he go if they push him out after three years? Who will the Tigers get?

I'm not even considering our beloved HC as an option for the job at LSU. I think Danis where he wants to be right now, except if they throw too many Tiger millions at him, which he isn't worth at this time. He is plenty good, just not $5MM good. Maybe in another three years.

Despite a few clock management issue games (one that he ended up winning anyway), Miles has achieved alot in Baton Rouge. I still hear dumbass LSU fans calling for his head even after all of this.

If I were Les Miles, I would give LSU fans the collective finger and head to my alma mater. The world will then see what he can do with less talent.
