"4) OLine play has been horrible post 2007 when the last of Saban's guys left."

I agree with much of the points the OP made, but this is not true. We had good OL play in 2008, blasting open holes for Charles Scott even though the D knew what was coming. Also, the OL play last year was not just good, it was outstanding.

He has been successful when he has had competent coordinators.
Chavis and his defense have been exceptional year after year... True reason for his success.
He is a good used car salesmen and get recruits. He will not be successful recruiting Offensive talent if this continues. We have seen that already with WR and QB because his passing game is junior high level.

Offense is the same year after year ... NC defensive game plan from Saban gave everyone the approach to attack the Tiger offense.
Miles has one approach and the SEC has figured it out.
I do not think the players feel the same way about him since the NC game.
The Honey Badger issues speak to a bigger problem.
Just one other thought ...
I have a great deal on a Harley and chick to go with it for Les Miles only.

Geaux Tigers!

There was a noticable dip in running production in 2009 (first year without Big Herm), but otherwise, the run blocking has been excellent until very recently. Last year's run blocking was probably as good as I've seen a LSU team, or really any college team, over a 40+ year of being a football fan.

There have been a number of terrible NFL offensive lines over the years that could not have run-blocked as well as LSU's 2011 offensive line.
