So the recruiting coordinator isn't responsible for recruiting?


I've always thought he would be. Not solely responsible, but he should share in the praise of landing recruits or some of the blame if a recruit doesn't pan out.

But it also depends on who your asking and what day of the week it is. Tiger Ree for example, and a few others, have claimed that o isn't responsible for the lack of talent (when that excuse was being used due to a poor start to the 2017 season) then turned around a week or two later and claimed that o was Miles recruiting coordinator in 2016 before he was fired, and o was just as responsible, if not more, for the '17 recruiting class.

Then when somebody says something about poor play or depth, or whatever, they claim that that's all on Miles because he didn't recruit well enough.

Ree has done this a few times alone the past month or so. Motherfricker flips flops like there's no tomorrow.

So there's you answer PotatoChip. Do with it what you will.

Except for going the JUCO route it is pretty hard to build talent OR depth on the O or D lines in one year.

He was the RC for 8 months, starting 2 1/2 weeks before the 2016 signing day. Miles was fired after the first four games of the 2016 season. LSU did not lose one committed player. Did the recruits think Miles was going to magically reappear as the LSU head coach?

They had 4 or 5 months to find other schools. Not one recruit did - does Les Miles get credit for them not leaving?
