I'm getting a little sick of this coaching carousel at LSU. I know, Miles isn't gone yet, but it's just a matter of time.

And every time we lose a head coach in such a short period of time, recruiting takes a hit. It took a hit when Saban left and it will take another one when Miles leaves.

Saban's dream job was to coach in the NFL. Miles dream job was to coach at Michigan. Can we find a head coach this time whose dream is to coach at LSU.........wouldn't that be different for a change.

LSU is one of the best coaching jobs in the country. If Miles leaves I am sure LSU will get a very good coach. LSU should be just fine.

Hugh Hefner has my dream job, but LSU HC and a few Golden Girls would be just fine.

Rocket, as long as you are the HC and i get a chance to be your OC. Don't worry, my first move is to start RM. Then i will make sure we throw to the TE 5-8 times per game, mix in bubble screens to our speedsters, and make sure we throw a flee-flicker on 1st down every once in a while when the safety sucks in on the 1st down run

Much more to come. Hire me, Rocket !

once again you ignore facts. no surprise as you typically just pander to the board instead of reality.

Reason why Miles's first class was not stellar was because he only had 14 slots. got it? 14. That is alot lower than the usual number.

and the average rating of each player recruited was still as high as any such average of the so called top five recruiting classes that year.

So no. Recruiting did not take a hit the year he was hired.

Miles quality of recruiting in his first 3 years was better than Saban's last 3 if you judge by the only real factor - average star ratings. You can't hold the pattern that he inherited against Miles, as the number of recuits he could haul in was lower overall.

Now this years class was where i started to worry. Looks like we were taking more leaps of faith than required with more than half the class at the 3 star level....

I remember when he left OSU that several OSU fans were on our boards saying once he made up his mind he was leaving, he mailed it in.

of course, watching him on the sidelines in the fourth quarter, I did not get that impression.
