If we would've fired Miles, do we still have #1 class?

I don't think we're even in the top 25.

Hell no! The rant doesn't believe it but recruits absolutely love Les Miles. Multiple recruits said they would have looked around had Les been fired. The fact that we lost Frank Wilson and kept every commit further proves the love for Les

probably not #1

but we would have still finished in the top 25 with a good hire

probably in the 10-15 range

Miles is here to bring in this class. Miles gone would have destroyed this class.

I doubt it. But it would have been worth it.

I'm not a recruiting guru, but a quick google search found this...

Jimbo has the #4 class, I think we would have come out more than okay.


Now, if we didn't get Jimbo and settled for a second or third tier candidate, then we could have taken a big fall.

Highly unlikely the juniors stay without Miles.

According to some posters on here top recruits are lined up for the privilege of playing at LSU. The place recruits itself.

Of course reality is otherwise and to answer your question no. In fact, this class ending up as great as it is speaks more about Miles recovery from the debacle in November than anything else.

Of course not.
U can bash Miles' lack of Qb play and if u must go back 3-4 years, his time management. You can even complain about the way he speaks to the media, but he is the best closer in the business on the recruiting trail. LSU wouldve done "OK" with another big time Coaching hire, but it wouldnt be this good.

A coach like Jimbo Fisher, that sits in one of the best recruiting areas in all of college football can barely break the top 5 with Florida and Miami in influx.

He'll be in trouble after this year if he lets the likes of 3-9 Georgia Tech beat him again in the weak ACC.

Urban Meyer spent alot of time and energy and had an excellent situation for Lawrence but in the end, he stood no chance against Miles. I doubt if he ever tries that again on one of Louisiana's best.

Obviously not. Doesnt mean it wouldnt have been beneficial in the long run though.
