BATON ROUGE, La. -- Filling Frank Wilson’s vacated position has not been high on LSU coach Les Miles’ priority list lately -- not with national signing day only a week away -- but replacing Wilson means much more than hiring a new running backs coach or recruiting coordinator.
Yes, adding a new assistant coach will obviously be important for Miles once the dust settles on the recruiting trail. Finding someone to wear all of the hats that Wilson -- who on Jan. 15 accepted the head coach position at the University of Texas San Antonio -- wore at LSU will be more difficult.
