If we got Jimbo, wouldn't we lose a lot of Louisiana?

Les has a ton of connections to the Louisiana community, heck our whole team is basically from there. Les has a hard enough time keeping the fence up from Saban and others, would Jimbo be able to hold that fence up? Serious question, what kind of connections does he have in LA?

ETA: I am NOT a Jimbo train hopper. I'm just speculating for those that think Jimbo is coming.

But recently. You can't just come back after 7 years and expect everything to be the same.

What connections did Les have when he took over for Nick?

Jimbo has the #3 recruiting class right now. He coached here for 7 years. He's been recruiting in the South for his entire career.

I think we'll be alright.

We have 3 star players coming out after losses reaffirming their commitments. 3 star players. Think about that for a second.

Whatever you think you would lose by Les Miles going out the door, the new coach would be able to gain back

But everyone knows who Jimbo is. It's not like Les was finding 5 star recruits from LA that no one else in the country knew about. Kids from Louisiana grow up dreaming about playing football for LSU and they will continue to do so.

Publicly, at least, the parting will be amicable between Les and LSU.

And considering all we have seen of him, I'd expect Les not only wouldn't do anything to hurt the program, but will proactively support it.

Okay, I'm not a recruiting guru like everyone else on here. That's all I was looking for .

I guess we should just keep Miles and shut the program down when he decides to hang the headset up...LSU just cant survive without him.
