Talent wise, I've heard that we are not talented as we think we are, so the next guy is kinda screwed, no?

I'd worry about the defensive talent moreso than the offensive talent.

The cupboard isn't bare, that's for sure. I just want to see a offense that isn't confused all the time. Is that too much to ask for?

1. We still don't know if he's out. (though I hope so)
2. LSU has gobs of talent, getting out of the SEC West unscathed is the problem.
3. No one is truly "Screwed" at LSU

it really depends upon coaching.. because really we have no idea..

i would say it's talented enough to compete given the right coaching regardless

maybe not as elite as we think.. but my goodness you have the bulk of the team returning next season. that in itself is huge

Are we already lining up excuses for the next guy?

Front seven is still going to be a major issue and we still have no QB depth whatsoever.

Maybe, Les had several championship caliber teams that underachieved. This is one of the main reasons he is leaving after this season.

No. Next year will be worse due to depth at DT and ILB.

Can't believe I'm actually reading this. If you think this in any way similar to what Saban left Miles, you're dreaming.

We really needed this defensive class. I hope whoever comes in can salvage some of it. We need front 7 depth and to sign a QB.

SO IF THE NEXT GUY WINS OVER THE NEXT 4 YEARS EVERYONE BETTER SAYS IT WAS WITH MILES RECRUITS. I'VE BEEN HEARING IT FOR 11 YEARS. EVEN THOUGH STOOPS WON WITH BLAKE'S, COKER WON WITH BUTCH'S, TRESSELL WON WITH COOPER'S, MEYER WON WITH ZOOK'S, OH, AND SABAN WON WITH SHULA AND DINARDO'S. COME ON DOWN JIMBO(AINT HAPPINGING) BUT I'LL TAKE HERMAN EVEN THOUGH THEY WON'T HIRE HIM

The next guy could make a run at the playoffs depending on the 2016 class we end up with.

we have some talent but we also have some major gaping holes. I don't think we are texas bad off yet but we are approaching it. The new coach might have to plug some of it with Juco guys.

I think when history looks back it will see that Miles rep as a great recruiter is overrated. We had some major holes in our classes lately.

He just brought in two top 5 classes and we're likely to land another one coming up unless it completely scatters. The problem isn't going to be talent anymore.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that we're finally going to be fully recovered from subpar 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes that really hurt our depth.

IMO no, there are holes along both fronts that need to be addressed. But overall the talent is there to compete for the West.

I don't think any TigerRant experts really know.

No. There is very little true quality/depth in the front 7. Now if we pull some of these recruits that can change
