re: Was LSU a top 5 job in 2005?

In 05 LSU was talked and mentioned much more on ESPN shows such as PTI, Mike and Mike, Around The Horn, than it is now, YES, LSU was a top 5 job. LSU was a shooting star from 2001-2005 which leveled off and declined and stayed on this mediocre course since Miles took over. If not for the all the great resources, such as talent and facilities that Saban was having built, Saban would have not turned down 6 NFL jobs before talking The Miami job which he regreted. LSU YES a TOP 5 job and hired a top 40 coach. RIDICULOUS, 10 YEARS and this MAN, MILES has still not recruited or developed a QB. S A D
