re: Recruiting in the last 4 years has been the best of the Miles Era.

Miles has recruited as good as any coach in the country since he's been here but has detractors and somewhat failed simply because he hasn't had a quarterback for whatever the reason, that is the only reason we aren't where everyone wants to be. It's an easier fix than needing to get top knotch talent throughout.

The issues surrounding the lack of quarterback development doesn't necessarily fall on ability to develop quarterbacks himself personally. That's not where his background in coaching comes from. He's not a Briles, Sumlin, Malzahn, Petrino or any of the other head coaches who came up as offensive coordinators/quarterback coaches. It's why having a legit quarterback coach on staff is of the utmost importance. I have no issues with criticism of his hires at that position up until now with Cam Cameron.

I know there is a lot of doubt out there concerning Cam's ability but there shouldn't be any. Both Mett & Jennings fell into Cam's lap once he hired on here. It worked out well with Mett, not so much with Jennings as of yet though but it isn't from Cam not trying. Despite Jennings high recruiting ranking & Elite 11 participation, I'm not sure if Cam was on the staff back then, that Jennings would have been someone he would have targeted heavily. Now he did come in & help seal the deal with Harris who seems to be more of his type. The book is still open but I believe this story at quarterback eventually ends well.
