re: Miles' general thoughts on the season...

This is exactly what I have been saying for 10 years. You can't win on LA talent alone, the state is loaded with athletes, that's about it. No one is going to just come in here and win titles because LSU is the only big time program here. He's done very well considering.

We've lost LBs like Kenny Young and Tim Williams as recently as the past 2 years.

Nobody said they will win championships right away, or on Louisiana talent alone, but the fact is that it's a good start being the only big school in Louisiana with athletes on the level of Florida just smaller in number.

To let depth get that bad on the lines and at LB, when you are the HC (former OL yourself) and have been here for a decade along with your DC/LB coach and DL coach here for 6 years, it makes zero sense. Grimes has been trying to load the OL up the past couple of years because we were depleted there as well in talent and bodies.

It makes no sense to have these rookie problems when you had a coaching staff that was here 5 or more years at those positions.

We are reactive at the most important positions, when we should be proactive.
