What I don't understand is, if he places so much emphasis on special teams, why is Peveto still there? Our special teams have underperformed badly for the past two years. I get that he is a great recruiter, but at some point he has to coach too!

Simple. LSU lost touch with Alabama because our recruiting nose-dived. Sure we had highly ranked classes, but they had huge holes in them. We went two years in a row without signing a single interior defensive lineman! We signed one interior linebacker in two years. And we all know how crappy our QB signees were.
This had to be fixed. Miles, to his credit started hiring recruiters rather than guys who were just position coaches. The down side of that, whether we want to admit it or not, is that they're probably not as good at coaching the position. But boy, did our recruiting improve!
The last few years we're recruiting way better than before. Our class rankings have gone up a little, but that's not the main story. We no longer miss on entire position groups.
Miles fixed the problems with LSU football several years ago. It's taken time to see the results. But from now on we'll see more elite teams, imo.
Anyway, that's why we have Peveto.

Yes we've been getting destroyed in the field position game! Why we're always pinned back in our own end. Hopefully our punting game will be much improved this season!

what makes you think the next special teams coach would be better,the greener grass syndym has killed a lot of teams including LSU in all sports in the past who was special teams coach three years ago !
