A question I've always pondered....

If Ryan Perrilloux hadn't been a perpetual frick up and forced Miles to kick him off the team, would this have altered the course of Miles career? RP was a gifted athlete and I thought he was destined for greatness. It was almost like after the Jarrett Lee pick six fest of 2008, that Miles never trusted a QB again, other than Mettenberger. No flame intended, just an honest question.

Fair question and the opinion of many.

Yes, I strongly believe this. The only question is whether or not 1/9/12 would've still happened with Lee and JJ, and ultimately miles would've still been broken.

I believe had Les let Dak Prescot play QB at LSU, we would most probably had another NC and Les would still have his job. I like the guy, but glad he's not HC any longer.

Very fair question and I think it altered his path some
But even more so was BAMA getting a rematch.

You believe Ryan Perrilloux could have overcome the Maleveto Meercat defense?

this was a huge topic during and after the 08 season. that dumbass was all set to take over. it certainly didn't help matters that he wasn't here.

I've always believed this planted the seed to this non-trust QB issue. Miles exacerbated it by projecting that trust issue onto everyone around the program... especially the OCs and following QBs.

In response to the OP's question, in all likelihood it did. Here's why.
From somewhere after the UF loss in '06 through '08 Les was willing to play aggressively on O (else, the Crowton hiring makes makes no sense). The '08 int fest doomed that. Had Ryan played in '08, I think we beat UGA, Bama, and Arky. I don't think we would have beat UF in the Swamp. OM would have been a toss-up (OM was playing really well down the stretch in '08).
But our O would have rocked in '08 - good OL, great group of WR's, and good RB's. If after a prolific '08 O, it would have been more etched in Les's psyche that it's ok to play aggressively on O.
Whether Perrilloux stayed or not, it is unlikely we would have seen an int fest in '09. And if not, it would be reasonable to think Les would take a different tack.

The RP issue and...
Zach Lee choosing MLB hurt us (don't blame him).
Going to a pro-style offense and recruiting dual threat QBs like JJ and Harris
Clock management issues
The 2012 Natty rematch

LSU has been ducked by two plane crashs
Bo reins crash and the crash that killed the okie stare athletes in 2011 that allowed rematch with Bama

Not more needed to say.

The OP is right. The dismissal of RP set the stage for JL to have to play when he wasn't ready. Pick 6 ruined Les on the passing game.

Also, if RP stays for 2008 and 2009, I think LSU beats Bama both those years and Bama maybe doesn't win that 2009 NC. Those things alone would've been tremendous for Les and LSU.
