UT didn't miss on their hiring of Lane Kiffin. They got a bad break that he wanted to go to the West Coast and his former employer of high repute opened up a year later. It is always a risk in making these decisions but LSU is on a downward slope and they have been for awhile now. It happened slowly at first but it is in full tailspin now. They can't even beat teams with no offensive capacity whatsoever.
They MIGHT end up with a bad hire and completely lose the framework for a winning program Saban established and Miles maintained for awhile BUT they're definitely not maintaining that framework by keeping Les Miles.
