re: Remember when LSU had Jamarcus Russell, Matt Flynn, and Ryan Perrilloux for 2 years

RP’s final blow was getting pulled over leaving a strip club in port Allen, then failed a drug test for coke that morning

RP is one of those what could have been. We had Cecil stuff recently too. I'm pretty sure I'd take the coke and strip club than watching people sleep.

It's hard to overstate how much that impacted our football future.

It was one of many failures that began a spiral Miles just had no capability of fixing. Recruiting failures and bad hires would have eventually happened even had RP finished out his eligibility at LSU; it was inevitable unfortunately.

Tommy Banks should get the ball more.

He literally fixed it 3 years later when he won the SEC and played for a NC. Miles demise really didn’t start until 2014.

Trindon Holliday would’ve been the best DE in school history.




I will never forget that thread.

Hear me out...

Jordan Jefferson was the fix?

He and Lee are the reason they didnt win the title, not the reason they got there.

EDITED: In 2008 is when everything changed for LSU and Miles. Instead of Perriloux he had Lee (who threw 14 INTs and I think like 6 pick 6's).

It was that season when Miles realized that even though the OC was the same he could run the ball and recruit well enough in the trenches and well enough in the backfield to win 10+ games and go down as a legend. The offense went arciac and was blamed on Crowton, Strudrawa and eventually Cam Cameron but the design was visible and obvious. He was not going to open the offense and it killed his ability to recruit and develop QBs.

I appreciate Flyyn, but it is crazy to say he was better than Russell

10-2 as a starter
22 TD to 11 Int. 6.7 YA. 56.3 completion %. 2407 yards.

Jamarcus was 12-2 as a starter
28 TDS to 8 Int. 3129 yards. 67.8 comp. % 9.7 YPA.

I get one won a NC but damn.

I remember a game against Auburn I think 2005. LSU highly rated. LSU played the whole second half on Auburns side of the field and lost the game because Russell could not get the job done when Flynn was on the bench. Someone check me out.
