Sorry to see Les Miles cut loose at LSU. Miles is a good coach, but a stubborn one.

Maybe all he needs - besides his $10 million buyout - is a stint in Nick Saban's Coach Rehab Process.

The Coach Rehab Process is working great, so far. Just ask Lane Kiffin. As Alabama's offensive guru, Kiffin's career has been resurrected, his street cred blown up. His name is most likely on LSU's short list to replace Miles.

Waiting in line behind Kiffin is another former USC rehab project, "offensive analyst" Steve Sarkisian.

Where would Les Miles fit on the star-studded, heavily populated Alabama coaching staff? Grass taster?

Based on his recent body of work, Miles knows a lot about what happens on fourth down. Could he be a punting coach?

Alabama's punter, JK Scott, is really good. But he doesn't get much playing time.

Truth is, Coach Miles, our punter doesn't really need a coach. He just needs company. You can sit with him on the sidelines, count your money, eat some grass and just bide your time until you've been born again.

Hallelujah.

Welcome to The Process.
