Les Miles at LSU… take it or leave it?

Why would anyone turn down a National Title winning record during the third year as head coach?

He even went undefeated after Bama backed into the national championship game having lost to LSU and not having to play a conference title game.

Unforunately, Mario is not inheriting a Saban led program.
 
Absolutely take it. I think Mario can do better, but Les' two worst years were 8-5. Went to 2 NC, won 1. Won SEC 3 times. Had to deal with the best to ever do it, in his own division of the SEC. Trajectory was very similar to Urban's at Florida. Thats a solid 10 years. Mix in beating UF and ND coming down the pipeline and dominate FSU in that time frame. I can get behind that.
 
If we don’t win at least 10 games in year 3, then it’s true… How you do anything is how you do everything. I’m still thinking (hoping) he can do it.
 
Why are we comparing anything to Les Miles, who couldn't be a more different character and personality than Mario.

Total riverboat gambler-type. All kinds of crazy, risky calls in that 2007—that he wound up on the right side of, thankfully for him.

Don't see how any career he had in Baton Rouge could be compared to what Cristobal built in Oregon or wants to build in Miami.
Less stylistic more results based. But I see your point.
 
Two natties in 10 years would be phenomenal. If in year 3 Mario hasn't won 10 games then that's a head scratcher. It most likely means he's too stubborn and still running an antiquated offense and still making bad gameday decisions.

Year 3 should be the year where we are guarenteed 9 wins. That is unless there's 1-2 heartbreaking losses. That would also mean most likely losses to the Gators, the Irish, and the Noles (or some other ACC team we always lose to i.e UNC). That would be no bueno.
Year 3 will be a majority of his guys and give plenty of time to turn over the talent. Next year we better see a **** better product on the field and be competing for the acc but year 3 we need to be full tilt.
