Miles - Enough credit for this class?

Miles' actions led to this lest you forget.

Recruiting has never been an issue for Miles, and he's hired one of the best recruiting staffs in the country.

I think he is getting plenty of credit
Everyone was thrilled with his DC hire
And recruiting class

Super post.

Alleva is no fan of LSU football.

Think if we had an AD that helped instead of hindered.

quarterback commits ? ZERO does it matter ? NO ancient offensive scheme

Miles will be golden if he fixes his November problem with the tougher members of SECW. However, if he doesn't find a QB and offensive scheme that can get playmakers the ball in open space, he will get his azz run off. Came quite close this year.

No. Nothing justifies the athletic director publicly undermining the current football coach. If you want to fire him, you fire him. It's fricking stupid to keep him on staff while at the same time give every other school something to use to negatively recruit.

Having said that, if this class finishes in the way it looks, Miles and his staff would have done an unbelievable job. Honestly, it's elite. I don't think there is a staff in the country who could have held the program together in the face of what Alleva did to this staff

Say what you want about Miles. But, this is a HUGE accomplishment.

I hear ya but LSU is a machine now, gonna get top recruits if Johnny Jones was the Football coach.

And Miles deserves a lot of credit for that

What does Miles do with top 8 talent? Underachieve. I'll give him credit when it results in something other than the Acme Widget Bowl on December 29th and a ranking in the teens.

Too many people don't recognize the threat we were facing a month and a half ago.

Think about what would have happened if, as a result of Alleva basically giving a public "no confidence" vote, the recruiting class would have tanked.

We'd be sitting here with a coach that couldn't convince recruits to come play here, with an administration that just failed to remove Miles. The program would have been at REAL risk.

What Miles has done with this class has been tremendous. Obviously, the rest of the staff deserves a ton of the credit as well. But, to accomplish what they did in the face of the self-inflicted wounds of the AD is nothing short of remarkable.

The biggest point is that, barring another debacle by the administration, the "program" is in great shape and will stay that way under Miles. Worse case scenario, Miles just can't get us back to winning big. So, he steps down or is fired. Because of the recruiting excellence, the next coach should be able to hit the ground running. There should be NO rebuilding effort.

Texas didn't have that luxury. Florida didn't have that luxury. It's not something that should be taken for granted.

, but when you look at the shite storm created by Alleva and folks I am amazed that a fool such as Miles can pull back together the #1 class, hire a great DC, and generate this much excitement.

I completely agree with you, but I just don't have any faith in his offense. He has proven more times than not that he can't field a competent offense. Miles always reels me back in as a Miles fan every off season and makes me look stupid when I defend him. Not this year. I will remain optimistic with no comment.
