Wilkerson concerns me because of a conversation that I once had with his father, during the LSU-Miami Bowl game. I sat right in front of him and we talked for most of that game. He said that he didn't think too highly of Miles and that he would have not gone to LSU if it was Miles recruiting him. Opinions can change but, that gives me a lot of concern.

Hmmm Wilkerson's last game was Saban's last game. In 2005, the year we played Miami in the bowl game, Wilkerson was with the Cincinatti Bengals.

Not technically true. Wilkerson injured his knee against Vandy on October 30, ending his senior season. Saban coached 3 additional games at LSU.

But your point is well taken - Wilkerson has worked as a GA under Miles and is applying for the OL position now - also under Miles. Therefore, it must be concluded that any suggestion that he thinks less of Miles than Saban is - unsupported.

In fact, this is probably the mentorship that goes on, "Coach - I am interested in being an OL coach here." "Well, Ben, I think you will make a fine offensive line coach. I was a GA at my alma mater, and later came back to coach the OL there before becoming a coordinator, a position coach in the NFL and finally a head coach. I'll try to help you in any way I can. I recommend you find a vacancy that looks attractive to you and get some experience. With your NFL experience, Rimington trophy, All American and my recommendation - you should have no problem landing a job. Heck, in a few years, you might be coaching LSU's offensive line."
