re: Auburn's Desparation = Not Good for LSU

I'd think that LSU would rebound quicker than Auburn, but it's still gonna set y'all back 1 or 2 years, imo.

What has set us back already is keeping Miles for too long. What would set us back a minimum of one additional year is Les Miles returning as head coach next season. No scenario that ends his tenure would set us back. Of course, we'd be willing to be set back another year and keep Miles if he wins out, but obviously that's not going to happen.

We're kind of in a situation where we can't fully win and we can't fully lose. If we have a great season, great, but we have to keep him another year. If we have a bad season, it sucks, but we get to send him packing this year. Neither option is ideal, but neither is completely bad either. FWIW, every LSU fan I know, including me, wants to have a great season this year no matter what. The best of all possible worlds would be having a great season, then Miles rides off into the sunset as a winner and we get to find someone else. Everybody's happy and we get to move on as we need to.
