re: LSU would be stupid to let Les Miles go

Not many coaches better than Les. Plus, as you can tell with the coaching change in 05.. This recruiting class will blow up due to the large number of OOS kids. I still think the 05 class was the reason for our down year in 08

no question about it. saban left us in a lurch recruiting wise, a fact that many conveniently forget. we also had some xtra OL attrition that hurt us in '08 and '09. while saban was great for our program he was not the messiah and he knew he was going to leave and dropped the recruiting ball. miles inherited that lost class and frankly it took miles a year or two to get up to sec speed (just as it takes most others) when taking over a new club.
