re: "If LSU fires Les Miles, he will have a job at a major program the next day"

RickDaddy - you said if LSU recruits it self, why did we lose so many recruits in the 90s? This is what people have been trying to tell you for a long while, Do you think if Miles was hired in the 90s it would have been any different? NO !!!! The facilities were AVG at best, remember we were still busing our players to the practice field, it was hard to sell the program. That all changed when M Emmert hired Saban came in and got M CLayton and Spears, M Hill,Whitworth and our local players to stay at home, cause(as YOU RD said) Most of our elite athletes had been leaving the State(M faulk,K Stewart,P Manning,ED Reed,Reggie Wayne ect) for Fla St, Miami Ect ect. And at the same time with AD Mark Emmert the facilities were being Upgraded and new facilities being built. With LSU NOW winning and a little over a year removed from a National Championship & with all the upgrades and new facilities in the works, and being planned, RECRUITING for LSU got a lot easier. Miles recruited kids showing off new facilities, like the Football operations office, mostly designed by Saban being built, New locker rooms, Players lounge, New weight room, 15 million dollar facility to go along with a 54000, sq foot Academic Center,1000 seat Bo Campbell Auditorium, Eric Hill Communications Studio, Career Center& Academic Hall of Fame. NO COACH in LSU history, NO COACH in LSU history has had the recruiting advantages that Les Miles inherited!!!!
