re: The TR current opinion of Les Miles?

I think the results of this thread is pretty 50/50.

Proof that many tiger fans either aren't willing to come off what they thought they knew LM as (in other words, they fall into the "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" types).

Others recognize Les Miles for carrying Louisiana talent to a pinnacle before losing it all and living off what many of us thought he was. But, he made the university a lot of money carrying what Saban built here, which is truly why he was maintained as HC.

I think Orgeron proved that Les's stubbornness is really the only thing that kept the program from winning more national championships. Orgeron just couldn't maintain what he built. To be fair, most coaches couldn't.

Kelly may prove all of what I say to be absolutely true. We already know BK is a sustainer (like Les), but so much smarter (and that's obvious). Saban may have met his match, and I think the Tigers take over recruiting in just a few short years, keeping the talent from within but also using all his nationwide resources from when he was at ND.

Geaux Tigers!
