Apart from the arguments about the offense (many valid)..You have to give Miles credit for protecting the program above all costs when he excused Honey Badger and Perrilloux from the team. Especially when you see the sanctions against other major programs.

Considering the fact that this team lost 3 games by a total of 13 points, Honey Badger being excused arguably cost LSU a trip to the NCG (and that's despite all the blunders)...because Honey Badger was that damn good...Take him away from the 2011 team, do we make the big game?

Perrilloux is another story but losing him was catastrophic with what ensued in 2008/2009.

Its not just this: Miles will suspend players early and often, while other coaches suspend them for a series against Tennessee Tech.

Odd scenario. LSU loses ANY game in the 2011 regular season, and they would not be in the NCG regardless.

Miles did give RP many more chances than others.
