As I've said on here before, ESPN and CBS both dislike LSU because we are the number 1 threat to Bama's dominance. Bama is a better story line than LSU so they need to do whatever they can to pump Bama and Saban up and keep LSU from stealing their spotlight.

Didn't the "This is SportsCenter" LSU commercial involve Les Miles recruiting a SportsCenter anchor? Maybe ESPN is dissatisfied with its anchor quality and blaming Les for it.

To put Kiffin that low (below the others) is just as ridiculous. I hate Kiffin but he is an unreal recruiter. Miles is easily top 5. The writer is trolling.

Kiffin might be the best recruiter in the bunch. Luckily for the college football world he can't coach for shite.
Sounds like someone else we know.

Why does he deserve any respect from the National Media? He shits himself often on the biggest stages. Bowels movements have consequences.

Because he is factually one of the best recruiters in the country. Anybody who doesn't have him in the mix is ignorant or promoting an agenda.

With ESPN (and most other sports "journalists") it's all about the flavor of the week. If Bama won the BCS, they're the ticket. If A&M has the glitterati QB, get their name in there. It's never about what's honest, it's just about what will attract attention. Ignore them and they won't bother you.

Global Satellite here in Manila dropped ESPN from its Lineup and replaced it with Fox Sports. I guess Manila hates ESPN!!!

LSU recruits itself. We could be a lot better with a better coach than miles

Guys, the article was about best recruiting head coaches, not best recruiting programs as a whole. I'm a Les fan but I don't necessarily think he's the one closing the deal with these kids. Frank Wilson is the guy when it comes to recruiting. This is like being pissed that Les isn't being recognized as one of the best defensive head coaches when it's Chief who runs the defense!
