But one school not in the market is LSU. The Les Miles situation was one of the more bizarre coaching sagas in recent memory, and Frank Frangie thinks school officials wanted him out but could not get the right replacement — Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher. And just because Miles is back doesn’t mean there won’t be problems going forward. LSU officials “have made it tougher than ever” on Miles with the way they handled things, Frangie says.
Georgia did change coaches, with Mark Richt on his way out after 15 seasons. Frangie thinks Richt — “a genuinely good man” — can get another job as soon as he wants it, noting that Maryland, Miami and Virginia are shools that would want Richt.
