How big does that affect our recruiting efforts in Texas? AND let's get a home-away with this idiot savant.

It doesn't. We don't recruit head to head with Houston. They have like 4 players on their roster that LSU would even offer, and only 1 that we did. It's not like Les would instantly change that. UT becoming relevant again is a much bigger threat to our Texas recruiting.

Ed Oliver. He may take 1 or 2 a year, but Houston has 7M people in greater metro, so there is plenty to go around.

Also, athletes from Houston that select LSU select LSU, not the coach.

Don't think Miles will try to start getting better players for Houston? I don't see Les (after being here for over a decade) trying to recruit your HS safety at some 1A school compared to top 100 recruits all over the country. Just doesn't seem like his pedigree after scoring so much talent at LSU.

bullshite, everyone would go to USC or some cool arse school if the coach wasn't who they wanted to play for. You think Tua Tagliovala (spelling?) REALLY chose Tuscaloosa over Saban?

No 4 or 5-star recruit is picking Houston over LSU. If we're competing for less than that, then he's probably an expendable prospect and easily replaced with a LA prospect.

Except for the one that did.

Les would likely be able to bring in guys like this plus a couple more that they normally wouldn't be able to pull.

This. If/when Texas gets back on top it's going to hurt. And not just for Texas prospects. We'll have Texas on one side and bama on the other.

It doesnt affect LSU at all. LSU and the purple and gold colors will always out recruit any coach they hire..

Les will destroy Houstons football program. Houston will be his last Head coaching job ever if he lands it.

3 years and he will be terminated.

LSU doesn't need to fear Les Miles. Miles is a 60 year-old coach in the declining years of his career. LSU would be hurt far more by a young coach at Houston who can stick around for a decade and turn that school into a perennial contender.

If Houston ever got their Frank Beamer or their Bobby Bowden, the existing powers would be stirred. Les Miles is not a young Bowden or Beamer. Frank Wilson would be a far greater threat.

Point blank,

Houston has no affect on LSU at all anyway, no matter what coach they hire.

The American Athletic conference is Crap. What talented 3,4,or 5 Star recruit would want to go there over any SEC or power 5 conference team??

I would be more concerned with Hermann at ut. He has built a unbelievable following with coaches and 5 star players in his short 2 year stint there.

Wrong,

Herman may have developed some 5 star recruits, but he didnt recruit any

Houston wasnt even in the top 50 classes of recruiting in 2016 or 2015

The more important question is why would the 3rd best coach in the country go to Houston? Les is the greatest coach to ever wear the purple and gold and nobody but Saban and Meyer are even close to as good and he's going to Houston? That's impossible there are too many other elite teams that are probly beating down his door to hire him. And what about the NFL I'm sure he could get a job there too instead of Houston. That's a job for an up and commer or a below avg coach not the third best coach in college fb.
