Talent was similar except at QB.
Talent was not similar between Bama and LSU for the last 5 years of the Miles regime. During that time, they routinely had much better draft classes than us, and they passed us up as NFLU. Bama put 22 NFL, or near NFL, players on the field every year. LSU might have had 15 or 16. Usually at least three of our offensive linemen were not even good enough to sniff the NFL (We had T-Bob playing significant snaps). And although we would field a lot of future NFL stars many were too young to play toe to toe with Bama.

Hey Penrod, You cant have it both ways. Props to you for being a knowledgeable poster. Respect for your opinions.
I agree that The gumps had more talent at the end.
I was pointing out that he didnt lose to Bama with more talent. I was stating that his teams outplayed them twice with less talent and absolutely horrific QB play. The QB play was arguably bottom 5 in the country.
Miles had a stale offense and could not recruit/develop a QB, but his teams were in position to win late in the game against almost everyone and did so more times than not. He should be given some credit for this. He wasnt a terrible game day coach like many have talked themselves into believing.
Miles had the gumps beat with Anthony Jennings, who couldnt complete a forward pass, under center. Think about that for a second? What coach in America couldve done that to the eventual Natl champs with 2 weeks to prepare?
