re: Dooley, Richt get Passes but Miles Crucified

Maybe because of the abundant level of talent Miles has to work with...?

True. Everyone looks at the talent (fairly consisitent top 5 recruiting classes)and blames Miles for not doing enough with them. But at least we have to acknowlege that Miles does bring in the talent. There's no guarantee that another coach would recruit as well as Miles.

So the question is: Would LSU be better off with a great coach or great talent? Obviously, we had both when Saban was here. But he's gone and he's not coming back.

As for our not "dominating" our opponents like some of the other top teams do, let's be fair and admit that our defense and special teams have tended to dominate our opponents. It's our offense that has been ineffective, largely due to the QB situation, and has repeatedly shot itself in the foot with penalties and turnovers.
If not for the three interceptions, LSU would have won that game easily and probably covered the 2-3 TD spread.

Miles is absolutely responsible, but I think Crowton is the real problem.
