Not #1 for sure. Probably end in the top 10 depending on who the hire was and assuming we kept Orgeron and Raymond. But there would have been heavy attrition

Possibly. Entirely depends on who the new coach is. Irrespective, a single recruiting class should never dictate a coaching hire. You retain a new coach to meet long-term goals, like winning a title.

No really, This:

Aranda and this defensive recruiting haul with current roster depth on defense is all setting up so nicely for changes needed after next season to improve the passing game.

well, top QB Jacob Eason committed to UGA when Richt was there, and kept his commitment after Richt was fired, with a completely new coaching staff coming in (and unproven HC Kirby Smart).

So relax, we would've been fine.

Besides, if you believe (as I do) that Miles isn't the right guy anymore, then you have to risk a little potential short term pain for long term gain. If you're scared to do that, you'll always be paralyzed.

If we lose any recruits before signing day its most likely other coaches selling the uncertainty of Miles' job. This has always been a big reason I wasn't ready to let Miles go just for sake of change. He's about to have the best 3 cycle stretch in the history of the program.

This is going to rival the 09-11 stretch that led to 13-1 sec champions.

Not even close top top 25 IMO.

We wouldve lost most of our coaches and probably wouldve promoted BDP to HC if he stuck around

If Jimbo was hired and Coach O retained, I think LSU never misses a beat.

Almost definitely the answer is no.

With that said, he had better translate the recruiting success and returning players and everything that is going our way into an SEC championship season at the very least this year. Otherwise we are just an 8-4, 9-3 team every year with top 5 recruiting classes.

Kirby Smart is doing pretty good at Georgia. Isn't it basically the same situation that was going to happen at LSU?

No way. That was my fear if we did let him go. We would be starting over. Perhaps Jimbo pulls a top 10 class but I doubt it.

RED HERRING!!! If we fired Miles and hired a coach who would fix our offense, keep Coach O ,and get a great DC we would win the National Title next year. I'd rather lose the #1 recruiting class and win the National title next year and maybe more in the future
