Consider the following about Les Miles: Despite the many record wins (more than Saban) and accolades, he has a fantastic graduation rate. Also, he is a disciplinarian. He booted a SECCG MVP QB for bringing dishonor to the program, much like he did a promising freshman fullback earlier this year. Anyone remember that he took $300,000 from his own salary at OSU to keep his assistants? Or does anyone recall that he changed the co-defensive Coordinator debacle into the #1 SEC defense in 2010 by a good hire--The Chief. His special teams are phenomenal, and with one in five football plays being a special teams play, it is a critical component of winning football. Miles hired Frank Wilson, a fabulous recruiter, and is currently on track to bring in his most talented class to date—what could go down on paper as the greatest recruiting class in LSU’s glorious football history. Miles reportedly has convinced Patrick Peterson’s younger brother, a wide receiver, to come to LSU.
this is why I have so much cognitive dissonance about Miles. he runs a GREAT football program. but his coaching abilities are a big question mark. I pretty much agree with the idea thought that if he fired Crowton tomorrow and hired a proven great OC, LSU would be in a better position to compete for the SEC the next couple of seasons than if we fired Miles. making that move would mean no SECCG appearance for at least 3 or 4 years, imo. (you never know how a new hire will work out.)

you really think he is a "great disciplinarian"?
RP was involved in couterfeiting money....going into a casino with a fake ID....failed drug test...got into a fight at a bar where he allegedly pulled a gun....missed team meetings and classes......All this happened before he got booted.
Meanwhile, lesser profile athletes on the football team got the boot after 1 altercation off the field. We can start naming names if you would like, but just take my word for it.

LSU graduation rate was 60% last year, good for 7th in the SEC. That's fantastic? That is the highest it has been under Miles, FWIW.
has it improved some? sure. Is it fantastic? no

good hire, but my grandmother could recruit top athletes to LSU. We dont need Les Miles to recruit well. Trust me.
