re: How does an "elite" program get itself into a 4 year JJ/JL mess?

When RS came to LSU, he suddenly lost all of his abilities at QB, amazing. Bottom line he was given a raw deal, probably given promises that weren't kept (we will give you a shot at QB), and then amazingly 'convinced' that he would make a good WR after his 2nd year in college (meanwhile, he had never played WR in his life, couldn't run a route, and didn't have good hands).

I can say this with certainty, as it came from someone that spoke directly to RS father. RS was leaning to UT. Mac Brown told him he would not play QB. When he met with Miles, he was told he was being recruited as a QB and would be "competing" for that position. That is the reason he chose LSU. What happened after he arrived, I don't know.
