WATCH: Paul Finebaum caller suggest that Auburn hire former LSU coach Les Miles
LSU’s comeback win against Auburn on Saturday turned up the temperature on coach Bryan Harsin’s already hot seat.
The Tigers are more than four-touchdown underdogs against Georgia on the road this weekend, and a bad loss could spell the end of the Harsin era. Regardless of the timing, the odds Harsin survives his second season on the plains are slim to none.
When it comes to a potential replacement, one caller on The Paul Finebaum Show had a suggestion that was… interesting, to say the least. Edward from Selma, Alabama, thinks Auburn should hire none other than former national title-winning LSU head coach Les Miles.
An Auburn fan called into the Paul Finebaum show to pitch Les Miles to Auburn….
"Les Miles is one of the few coaches out there that knows what it takes to win in the SEC, that can come in and get the type of players to compete with a Georgia and Alabama…"

Now, Finebaum callers are not exactly known for being rational or well-adjusted individuals, but this one is a bit out there. Not only did Miles turn in a disastrous 3-18 tenure in his last post at Kansas — a tough job but not an impossible one, as Lance Leipold is proving — but he has more than enough off-the-field baggage for him to be a non-starter as a candidate, especially at this level.
He’s also 68 years old.
Given the instability at Auburn and the rebuilding job a potential replacement for Harsin would face, I have a feeling this program plans to go in a different direction.
Sorry, Edward.
